WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is willing to fight against the undefeated Terence Crawford, but only for the right price.
Pacquiao's chief adviser, Michael Koncz, as saying that the "Pacman" wants a close deal of $20 million for a fight against the dangerous Crawford.
"If it's Crawford that Top Rank wants for Manny Pacquiao, then we'll fight Crawford but we want a guarantee of $20 million," said Koncz.
The price is like Pacquiao's previous pay days, including fights against Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez. However, it is significantly larger than the $4 million that he earned from his last fight, a unanimous decision victory over Jessie Vargas last November.
The $20-million figure does not include the pay-per-view sales as well as other sources of income for Pacquiao, including ticket sales.
Crawford presents a difficult challenge for Pacquiao: the unbeaten boxer has won titles in two different weight divisions thanks to his combination of skill and power, and even Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has resemblance to Floyd Mayweather.
Nevertheless, Roach himself acknowledged that Crawford was a worthy opponent for the Pacquiao, and one that they look forward to.
