    it would be unacceptable if he fought vargas next.
    manny should fight garcia next then peterson then vargas.

    it's for the undisputed 140 title(2007 version). it will be the first time a boxer could get the 4 major titles in any weight division ever.

    legacy wise this is better than floyd equaling dela hoya's 6th division title.

    according to arum's statement:
    " I’d like to see him on HBO again so people will become more familiar with Jessie before we put him on a pay-per-view with Manny"
    i may be right that they pursue another title holder than vargas and build vargas up as the last 140 title holder for that undisputed title.

    or pacquiao could do a catchweight fight with crawford for the lineal 135 title.

      Just do it, you're going to anyway. Lets have Pacquaio destroy Vargas so nobody has to hear about him again.

          From Mayweather to Vargas? Seems legit.

          Lol Arum expects us to believe he is really trying to get Mayweather, and if he doesn't, it's Vargas? Why not actually sit down with Haymon and Floyd to talk instead of all of these other characters? Or why not get a better "plan b"? Why not D. Garcia, Maidana, Broner, Matthysse? If the problem is not that he doesn't get along with Haymon then work with him to make better fights.

                Well Arum said no more excuses or ego right? If so why is it a problem for him to speak to fighters who are manage NOT promote but manage by Haymon. Just because he doesn't like working or negotiating with the guy!

                  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
