«If it’s Crawford that Top Rank wants for Manny Pacquiao, then we’ll fight Crawford,» Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s longtime adviser said. «But we want a guarantee of $20 million.»
The 29-year-old Crawford himself hopes Pacquiao finally is willing to fight him: «That’s up to Bob Arum, my managers and my coaches,» Crawford said. «Of course I would love to fight Pacquiao, but it’s a business.»
