Manny Pacquiao wants $ 40 million to fight Terence Crawford

The legendary boxer seems to be looking for one big payday before retiring.

Manny Pacquiao seems to have only one or two fights left before making a full-time turn to the world of politics in his native Philippines. But the eight-time world champion wants to go out on a big money spinner.

Longtime reigning WBO welter champ Terence Crawford is the name at the top of many fan lists for perhaps Pacquiao’s last opponent, but money could be a stumbling block .

“I like to fight someone with a title,” Pacquiao said in the interview.

‘We told Bob [Arum] I get $ 40 million and Crawford gets $ 10 million.

“I fight with anyone. You know me, I’m not back from any challenge. Check it out! ”
