Comments Thread For: Arum Admits Vargas Could Be Mayweather 'Plan B' Foe

[Hype job]

Yes let's act like Baldomir wasnt the lineal champ and number 1 ranked fighter on the division. Two fights aren't even comparable. Vargas has a paper title and hasn't beaten anyone at even b level.

Anyone but TBE. A vacationer who pulls fake retirements to avoid prime fighters doesn't deserve Pacman. Give TBE Salka.

um so if floyd ducks will you buy the pacquiao-vargas PPV? i bet you will. bob's been using the same bait to reel you in for the past 6-7 years. simpletons, man.


really can't see floyd picking jessie vargas. arum, well this senile **** has chinese money behind him and he knows the media will give him and pac a free pass like they always do.

I wouldn't watch it, but you can't really blame arum, if Macau wants to pay for it, no reason not take it if your Arum.

If Floyd could make his $ fighting Vargas he would do it in 2 seconds.

Pacquiao needs to Floyd or Garcia next. You can't take two easy fights in a row when you're on the top of the p4p list.

good post..you cant blame arum..he's doing hat comes naturally to him..manny is in on it too and I doubt we will ever see him in with a non top rank fighter..just won't happen..

the coward never wanted Floyd in the first place, Manny is a C level fighter and he should continue fighting people on his own level e.g. Vargas.

Pacquiao is an embrassement as are his fans

Arum says he is willing to step aside to make to let the fight happen.

Bob Arum is willing to step aside to let Mayweather vs Pacquiao happen

When it comes to negotiations Top Rank President and Owner Bob Arum is tough and fair, but this time around after five years of trying to make a mega fight between his fighter Manny Pacquiao and pound 4 pound champion Floyd Mayweather, Arum is willing to step aside to make the fight happen.*

Karceno: Hi Are you doing today, I heard a rumor that you are willing to step aside to make the fight happen is that true?

Arum: "Yes, it's true, if that's what it takes to make this fight happen for the public then, sure."

Karceno: So you are willing to not have the Top Rank logo on the biggest fight in boxing history?

Arum: "Look if it makes business sense, then why not, it's been long enough I'm willing to do my part to make the fight happen for my fighter, and for the people, that's what Top Rank do."

Karceno: So what about this Floyd buying you out for ten million dollars?
Arum: "Completely not true"

Karceno: Then there is this Muhammed story about buying the fight is this real or a joke?
Arum: "His first name is Akbar, and he is no joke, it's very serious."

Karceno: That must be one heck of a check
Arum: "I'm not going to talk about numbers, but if it gets the fight on then we are all for it."

Karceno: How close are we to getting this finalized, just a percent?
Arum; "Who the f*** knows, we've done our part the rest is all on Floyd now."

Floyd groupies are the fooking worst lmao! Lets see what they say about this.

Actually, Vargas is plan A and has been plan A all along. Arum is doing the same thing he did a few years ago. He is pretending to negotiate a fight with Mayweather while scheduling another fight all along. He did it a few years ago when he told Margarito he would be be fighting Pacquaio next. He then pretended to negotiate a fight with Mayweather and even created a phony countdown clock for Mayweather to accept terms for a fight in which negotiations consisted of Arum sending an email to the president of HBOsaying this is what we want for a Mayweather fight (including a 14-day cutoff for drug testing). Mayweather's team never responded, but that didn't stop Arum from creating a phony deadline for Mayweather to accept terms.

After Arum pulls the plug on negotiations for a Mayweather fight, he will put Pacquaio in the ring with Jesse Vargas with a promise to try again after the Vargas fight to negotiate a Mayweather fight. The clowns on this site will again refuse to pull their heads out of the sand and claim that Mayweather is scared to fight a guy who couldn't hurt Brandon Rios or knock out journeyman, Chris Algieri.

What we have to say about this is that you are an idiot if you believe it.

A Mayweather/Pacquaio fight doesn't need investors and Bob Arum damn sure isn't going to withdraw from participation.

So if Vargas is really plan A, who is plan B? Michael Perez? (Oh no won't be him, he's on GB)
