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

[Foreign Soil]

Plan B, doe.

[BennyST]

Arum got wind of Haymon trying to get the Cotto rematch.

There's a bit of good news. Freddie Roach will finally be training someone to fight Floyd. The bad news, it will be Miguel Cotto.

@RickGlaser1
Hearing Haymon has reached out to Miguel Cotto's attorney talking rematch. And we all thought Floyd-Manny was being negotiated! SMH! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
Haymon's a snake in the grass, if he opts for #Floyd-#Cotto rematch rather than Floyd-#Manny mega bout every fan should boycott it! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
Lucky Haymon doesn't have your home address, he'd levage your Thanksgiving turkey on Floyd's behalf just to stay away from Manny! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
If your a #Floyd fan you know in your heart Floyd-Manny isn't happening, & #Manny fans don't wait for the Floyd-Manny bell to ring! #boxing

Yeeeeaaaaah....because we all know that Arum is truly doing all he can to make it happen. Right? "peeleft:

Got nothing at all to do with Arum that the fight can't be made. Arum is super keen to do it and will bend over backwards to make it happen. It's all Haymon's doing.

Algeri rematch > Vargas fight.

Rick Glaser as a source?

It's a contingency plan in case Haymon succeeds in getting Cotto rematch Floyd.

Sure that's why it was being set up months ago.

Why not?

He's always been right on the money.

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.

Well, BHop already did it, but Undisputed is Undisputed.

You don't need all of todays titles. It's just the same as giving one of the top ten contenders a random title. The guys who were Undisputed back in the mid 2000's had already done it.

It's not a greater accomplishment than that just because today instead of being the 5th ranked top contender like they would have been, you're called the WBO champion instead. It doesn't change the fact that you're still just the 5th best fighter behind the champion.

Having one extra title to give to a guy that would already have been beaten in the climb to the Undisputed title makes no difference.

Like when he said Alvarez-Mayweather did 1.8 mil?
