Tyron Woodley talks about Manny Pacquiao boxing negotiations
in a recent interview TMZ SportsWoodley criticized Pacquiao's negotiating tactics.
“You don't want everything to be ruined by greed. It's really greed,” Woodley argued. “He’s getting a nice wallet. So he wants more…and you made x amount of dollars in your prime, but this is a different type of fight…
“I'm on the other side. I'm making more money per fight now than I did in the heyday of the UFC… I'm making more money per fight, and that's what I'm looking forward to. I'm a little different. , I'm going to change little by little, because I'm going to earn more every time… He's there, he's in conflict with someone else, he's a little “terrible”… I don't want your body to be mine Stay safe for us, so we can defeat you!
Woodley is looking for his first win in a combat sport since defeating Darren Till at UFC 228. He was on a four-fight losing streak in the UFC before leaving the promotion in 2021.
Pacquiao retired from professional boxing after losing a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021. Prior to that, he was on a three-fight winning streak, including wins over Keith Thurman and Adrien Broner.
It remains to be seen whether a Woodley vs. Pacquiao fight will happen, especially since Pacquiao's boxing status is uncertain. In any case, Woodley wants Pacquiao to put the brakes on his alleged high-money demands.
