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

Bob's next interview he will be asked about this and he will say of course if mayweather takes the fight we will take the fight, but he wont take the fight b/c he's afraid of southpaws...and black fighters too..manny just turned half black...just stop it bobby..just stop it

[tiliheels]

I'm tired of the "top rank has not fighters for him to fight excuse"...its simple as this manny has never seen a contract he didnt like unless it had floyd's name on it..he signed back b/c he knew it was easy street and easy money at this age...he should drop off the p4p list for 2 fights like this..if a man doesnt think he can beat his division why would he be on the list?

So Pacquie not only ducking Floyd, but the whole 147 division

I didn't think they'd actually do the Algieri fight but they did. So I wouldn't put anything past them now.

old promoters trick.. tell a boxer he'll be fighting a big star soon if he looks good in this fight.. usually you get a good fight out of that because it's extra motivation.. i bet arum tells that to all his fighters

yeah but you see the thing here is manny pacquiao already fought brendon rio and is fighting chris algiero in a few weeks, sadly a fight with jess vergas doesn't sound too far fetched... anything goes at top rank now

If he was told Pacquiao is next, then Pacquiao is next if they both win. Margarito said the same thing in early 2010, before the Pac-Clottey fight. He said Arum told him Pacquiao is next. So yeah, if they both win, Pac is next. I don't see how this is even remotely unbelievable after the Rios and Algieri fights. This is pretty much the opposition Pac will be fighting until retirement.

Good point

[MrRolltide91]

His not a top rank contract fighter.. Bob Arum looking into Top Rank future by having big name Manny help make Christopher Algieri, Jess Vargas, Terence Crawford and Mickie Garcia stars at 140

Interesting point

[Hougigo]

Looked like crap in his last fight.....

not a PPV fight in any sense of the word. I'd pay for Pac not to fight him

[WESS]

Kind of ironic since Pac is known to fight guys who don't look so good, winning or losing. Sad part is, it wouldn't be the first time they turned down plan A for a plan B.
