Vargas: If I Look Good, I Was Told Pacquiao is Next!

Ryan Burton catches up with WBA 'regular' junior welterweight champion Jessie Vargas to discuss his upcoming fight with Antonio DeMarco on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Chris Algieri HBO Pay-Per-View undercard on November 22nd in Macau, China. Vargas

Vargas says Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has promised him a crack at Manny Pacquiao in 2015 - if he looks good against DeMarco in November.

Pacquiao, according to his team members, is moving down to 140-pounds next year - and Vargas could be Pacquiao's first stop at the weight.

"I spoke to [manager] Cameron [Dunkin] and I spoke to Bob as well. Bob personally spoke to me and said if I look good in this fight then Manny Pacquiao is next," Vargas told BoxingScene.com. "There is a lot at stake in this fight. I have to look good and we are working hard for that."
