Why isn't Jessie Vargas in the May 5th undercard?

yeah Vargas aint nothing special so if he's not on the card than I wouldn't care. But hopefully he develops because clearly he's got the right management and promotional tools behind him...

I said, "IT SEEMS" like But if ur not accusing Floyd of anything, than what was the point of this thread? Honest question, what's the point?? What responses were u expecting?? I was expecting an answer to the question. That's all. I was curious as to why Vargas wouldn't be in Mayweather's undercard as it would make business sense. Nothing more nothing less. If you look at my other posts, you will know that I am considered a "Flomo". I'm not accusing Floyd of anything. Let's just get that out of the way. I don't know how asking why Jessie Vargas being in the May 5th undercard is accusing Floyd of anything. I don't get it.

i have no interest in this dude at all, so hopefully he's not on the televised card

Despite being Mayweathers fighter, I'll say this, Jessie Vargas is overrated as hell. The best prospect or one of the best in boxing, come on. He might be a solid fighter but I certainly don't see a future star or a guy with great talent. 18 have tried.... or 17... or something around that area have tried

He's fighting the beastly TBA May 5 http://boxrec.com/date_search.php?yyyy=2012&mm=05&dd=05

I believe he is. Word was that he was fighting Gomez as the opening bout of the PPV, even though that's a crappy fight. I'd prefer to see him fight that unbeaten Argentina WW Diego Chaves. He hasn't fought anybody but it's still better than fighting Alfonso Gomez. Gomez vs Vargas would be a really good fight in all likelihood. Two pretty well-rounded fighters that come to fight, throw a lot of punches, and don't have tons of power has the recipe for a war. And Gomez represents a pretty clear step-up in terms of competition for Vargas.

Jessie Vargas is opening for the card. They dont have an opponent finalized yet...... now that TS got his answer.. END THREAD/

He hasn't fought anybody but it's still better than fighting Alfonso Gomez. I also think Jessie Vargas is crazy overrated. There was a thread about a week ago that said if you could be managed and promoted by someone in boxing, who would it be??? I'd be with Golden Boy, Al Haymon, and Mayweather Promotions. Golden Boy, because I'd never be with Arum. Al Haymon because he can guarantee you fights on HBO. And Mayweather Promotions because anything affilited with Floyd will get you automatic hype, look no further than Vargas. If Jessie Vargas had real good power, I think he'd be a real threat. But, he doesn't. He likes to trade and he can't really hurt you big time. I just see him getting KO'd brutally by one of the Top 10 WW, or he'll at least lose once he fights one of them.

I created a thread about this a few days ago and the floydboyz nails came out and they went into full attack mode. All I asked was.......if Floyd is so loyal to hbo like he loves to claim he is, why is he promoting a fight card with one of his own fighters on Showtime and not HBO. One would think that a person with such clout as Floyd would be able to showcase his own fighter on his undercard. No? Maybe HBO didn't want to broadcast the fight?? Floyd can't control that... If HBO doesn't want it, than Shotime's the next best thing, don't u agree... Take what u can get for your fighter, am I right??

I'm not accusing Floyd of anything. I don't know what there is to accuse him of. It was just a question. I thought it would be a smart choice for Floyd to put him in as an under card. You just said I'm assuming funny business. What are you accusing me of? I said, "IT SEEMS" like But if ur not accusing Floyd of anything, than what was the point of this thread?

He will fight Alfonso Gomez on May 5th Beat me to it :boxing:

He might be a solid fighter but I certainly don't see a future star or a guy with great talent. I just watched the shobox he was on last week, and the kid was not special at all. To think, Floyd was telling Amir Khan he has to fight Vargas before even considering him as an opponent

He will fight Alfonso Gomez on May 5th

Who says he's not?? The fights not till May, its March... Didn't Vargas just have a fight not too long ago?? Give it time And it seems like ur accusing Floyd of something?? There are far too many possibilities to explain why Vargas isn't on the card for u to immediately assume funny business I'm not accusing Floyd of anything.

What does Floyd being loyal about HIM fighting on HBO have to do with his fighters? Are you gonna make a thread on how Floyd DVR's Dexter but dosent watch Game Of Thrones? Wheres The Loyalty?

As one of Floyd's fighter, wouldn't it be a good way to promote him? I mean Floyd's PPV's does the most buys, so wouldn't having Jessie Vargas in the undercard give him a lot of exposure to millions of people? It's not like Floyd's going to be around a lot longer, so they should take advantage of Floyd's ppvs. I created a thread about this a few days ago and the floydboyz nails came out and they went into full attack mode.
