Undefeated Terence Crawford, one of the best boxers of today, wanted to fight Manny Pacquiao back in 2015, but at that time, according to Terence, the promoters 'hid' the Filipino from him.

"I tried to fight Manny Pacquiao back in 2015, but they hid him from me so that I wouldn't become a big star then. They wanted to continue milking Manny; he was a cash cow for the promoters.

I respect Manny, don't get me wrong. But he has been knocked out before. If you understand boxing, you know that he would have had to take risks with me, and I'm definitely not the one who takes risks".
