Why is Pacquiao willing to fight Loma instead of Crawford?

Crawford beats him up and then stops Pacquiao.

Loma beats Pacquiao by decision.


Pacquiao don't want a real beating so he isn't fighting Crawford.

 

I do dislike Haymon. I also dislike his enemy (Jay-Z) as a boxing promoter.

 

I like Jay-Z as a rapper. However, I’m not too crazy about him as a person. I can’t put my finger on it, but something about Jay-Z seems real sinister.

In about 30 years, it wouldn’t surprise me to see a hot young black actress starring in a movie along the lines of What’s Love Got To Do With It. Or to one day see that Jay-Z is wanted by the Feds for being a big time drug lord.

Oh yeah, I am not too fond of the way he has completely ignored one of his seriously injured fighters...Daniel Franco.

Jay-Z is terrible for boxing and anyone involved with him has suffered for it.

 

World wide recognition? Bullying tactics? Arum's advise?

 

Jay-Z is ruthless. I used to be a big rap fan, during the golden Age of hip hop, so I fully understand how he industry works.

Where do you get your boxing news from? The Daniel Franco issue is very recent.

So tell me again how Jay-Z helps fighters. I’m listening.

 

Loma is smaller than Crawford, and dimensionwise, he's more Pac's size, as well as being an easier matchup. Lomachenko doesn't have much power, and Roach has realized that, while Pac still has some speed. It's definitely a winnable fight for Pac as long as he isn't drained too much by a catchweight.

 

Cotto and Ward. You’re right.
So did you read the articles I sent you?

 

I rate Crawford but of the decent champs to ever hold a title at 140, which ones wouldn't you favor to unify the wasteland that Bud did?

Mayweather, Bradley, Pac, Hatton, Cotto, Judah, Kosta - the list could go on forever. Yes, Crawford did what he had to do and looked good doing it but lets not pretend it was some sort of murderers row.

 

He was fortunate to unify in that there are usually reluctant champs who duck the biggest fights. Fortunately for him Indongo upset the apple cart twice and had the cojones to fight him. Your Quillins, Saunders and Cotto's didn't have quite the same testicular fortitude.

It's politics that prevents undisputed champs being established rather than ability of the sports marquee names in my opinion.
