Errol Spence Jr: Manny Pacquiao in trouble, I'm in better shape now

WBC and IBF welterweight titlist Errol Spence Jr has the biggest fight of his career coming on Aug. 21, when he faces the legendary Manny Pacquiao in a FOX PBC pay-per-view main event from Las Vegas.
There is currently at least some confusion about Manny Pacquiao’s standing with the WBA. He held their “super world” title at 147 lbs before being moved to “champion in recess” in January, a move that came as a surprise to Team Pacquiao. It was thought at the time that with Yordenis Ugas being moved from “world” to “super world” champion as a result, Spence would likely fight Ugas in a three-belt unification.

Pacquiao-Crawford showdown in May?


The wait for the return of Manny Pacquiao to the ring might come to an end soon. 
A long-time friend of Pacquiao who refused to be identified told
Bulletin-Tempo on Tuesday, Feb. 23 that the lone eight-division world champion wants a fight in May. 
Other details such as who will be the opponent and where the fight will be held were not disclosed. 
But the 42-year-old fighting senator is most likely set for a collision course against the 33-year-old American champion Terence Crawford, according to Top Rank Promotions big boss Bob Arum. 
Arum said in the Barbershop Conversations podcast on Monday, Feb. 22 (in Manila) that an investor is willing to spend a huge sum of money to make the Pacquiao-Crawford fight a reality.

Bob Arum: Pacquiao-Crawford fight possible outside the US


“He (Kenny) came to our office about two weeks ago to talk about a Crawford-Porter fight. And then out of nowhere, the idea of a tremendous site fee, the possibility of doing Pacquiao-Crawford came up,” said Arum. 
“Obviously, it’s more money for Terence and Terence would prefer a Pacquiao fight against anybody else,” the legendary 89-year-old promoter added. 
Pacquiao, the only eight-division world champion and the WBA (Super) welterweight title holder before getting declared as “champion in recess“, reportedly wants to face the younger, three-division titlist Crawford at a price. 
The 42-year-old fighting senator is eyeing to pocket $40 million from a $50 million purse in his possible fight versus the 33-year-old American boxer.

FOR boxing, 2021 could be off to an encouraging start. We appear to be edging ever closer to a historic fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, as promoters from both sides have expressed their confidence in the bout taking place this year.
Speaking to
Barbershop Conversations, Bob Arum – who co-promotes Fury – said he is almost entirely certain the fight will happen and even claimed a location has been agreed.
“We have a location, that’s true,” he said. “We have a location and, as far as the date is confirmed, we haven’t zeroed in on a date.

After Terence “Bud” Crawford successfully defended his WBO welterweight title on November 14th against Kell Brook, fans continued to call for him to fight fellow undefeated American champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. in a unification bout next.
Crawford and Arum said their next target would be a unification with Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao who dethroned Keith “One Time” Thurman in July 2019 for the WBA welterweight belt.
Pacquiao who recently turned 42-years-old on December 17th is currently working as a Senator in the Philippines and hasn’t fought in over a year.
