[Wanderlei4Life]

Jessie Vargas is stepping up for the challenge. Something Broner and Danny refused.

Forget those guys. They have nothing for Pacquiao. I wouldn't want to see them against Manny either. Jessie Vargas is a shit option considering Thurman, Porter and Crawford are out there. And no one can use the Crawford wont sell excuse. So Vargas will sell more? I would even prefer to see Khan against Pacquiao.

Pacquiao is obviously trying to get a rematch with Floyd and going after a safe "ish" option. A dangerous opponent like Crawford might blow it for him.

Nac said Thurman is out for the rest of the year.

Haymon did not offer Thurman to manny, just Broner and Garcia.

This is basically a tune up for a mayweather rematch


They want manny to look good.

Pac's team once against throws him under the bus. Here's why Koncz didn't go after Crawford.

Michael Koncz, the longtime adviser of Pacquiao, explained that Crawford's style was not to his liking.

“I don’t like Crawford’s style. I don’t believe it’s a style that suits Manny,” Koncz said to the Los Angeles Times. “His style [is the problem]! Leave it as his boxing style.”

Translation: Manny can't handle boxers that move.

Only if it's a mayweather rematch

If he just said "We heard the numbers for the Crawford-Postol fight were really poor, he's not a big enough name", that would have been a better excuse than "I don't like Crawford's boxing style".

Lol when they said the list for pac's opponents...I called it. Pac would pick the easiest opponent, vargas. That's his MO.

Ducked floyd to fight clottey, then a super easy opponent that no one wanted in algeri lol, margarito after his suspension and beating a nobody. Finally fought jmm again after he showed signs of struggling.

Fuck this fight. Hope ufc has something better on that weekend

Damn man. Pac could of announced he's battling 10 dicks in his mouth for his next bout and you would of been like those dicks really stepped up strong.

See this last porno they were in they kinda limped in but finished strong. I think pac can take this. rematch with Floyd next year. Yeah!!!!!!

Pactards being hopeful. I see it on Facebook all the time. They been talking about a rematch with Floyd as soon as the match was over.

Okay so that "50th fight" thread is also dumbassed speculation, too?

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

I wonder if we'd all be saying this if Sadam KOed Jesse instead?... nah we'd be saying much worse things lol

 

[Confucamus]

Good stay busy fight before Pac/Mayweather 2. I wanted Crawford, but there's a higher chance there of being spoiled. I thought Pac/Crawford would be a great fight to watch. This is a fan friendly fight and Vargas will be on his game. Expect some fireworks.

Here's the big difference between Mayweathers cherry pick against Berto and Pacquiaos against Vargas. Mayweather schooled Pacquiao and had nothing left to prove. He had one fight left under his contract and took an easy route out. But to come out of retirement now to fight Vargas makes no sense unless he's playing it safe for a Mayweather rematch.

Seano and I said this was the inevitable match up, Bob knows the answer before the question.
