Video: Ak & Barak speak to Terence Crawford about fighting Pacquiao

In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, Terence Crawford discusses the intriguing possibility of facing Manny Pacquiao.

The boxing world seems to be fixated on welterweight titleholders Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. meeting in the ring sometime soon.

In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, courtesy of DAZN, hosts Akin Reyes and Barak Bess speak with Terence Crawford on this topic.

Here’s what Crawford and the hosts had to say.
