When Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford were both under the Top Rank Boxing banner, there was talk of Crawford potentially facing Pacquiao in what would’ve potentially represented a star-making performance for Crawford. However, there were never really any serious talks, and Pacquiao has since parted ways with Top Rank to join Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions.
If you believe Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, he says he was the one who made sure the fight never happened.
In an interview with FightHubTV, Arum admitted that he felt Pacquiao would’ve been steamrolled by the current WBO welterweight champion, and didn’t want to see him get severely damaged.
