Comments Thread For: Vargas Places Himself in Historic Spot With Pacquiao

[GRUSTLER]

In all honesty, I think Pac doesn't care and relies on his team to do whats best for him.

As long as he gets his allowance, purse, paycheck whatever it may be- he's happy.

I think that is definitely the case because if he wasn't content with the set up then he would have broke off like Oscar, Mayweather and Cotto to keep more of his own money.

You think its a coincidence Crawford said hes moving up to 140 at the exact same time pacquiao said hes moving down to 140 if he can't get mayweather? You have him or kell brook, even provodnikov would be better and they don't fight for al haymon and they qctually have hype behind them and have headlined big cards. Manny hasn't fought anyone who hasn't at least headlined or co headlined an HBO card, why would that change all of a sudden? Algieri was his least known opponent in 10 years and he still beat the feared provodnikov on the headliner of an HBO card. Jesse Vargas isn't even an option for pacquiao and if I am wrong I will be very disappointed myself and wont watch it either, but its not going to happen

With the exception of Brook, all of those fights suck. Crawford? Oh Manny. What a fall from grace.

Re-signing with Top Rank just made no sense.

This must be a bad dream this is not reality.

Why would any fighter want to sign with Top Rank considering they won't work with no other promotional companies just baffles me. Bradley would have had a much better run with Haymon/Golden Boy.

Oh i get it...like Floyd is excused for his cherry picked career. His cheating. Sucker punching. retiring while the WW division was super hot and there were no more bums to fight with fake ass titles. For ducking Margarito Paul Williams Manny and Prime Cotto as well as the DLH rematch.

But his Ortiz Baldomire Guerrero Canelo Maidana fights are GREAT FIGHTS huh?

:AOR:

All named are waaaaaaaay better than Algieri and Vargas , you cant talk about cherry picking and gloss over Mannys career , he is the king of cherry pickers .

It was the right move financially for Bradley. He'll make better paydays with Top Rank than he would have in the logjam with Golden Boy.

It was the wrong move as far as landing any good fights, though, and very disappointing for Bradley fans.

How many other boxers can you say have made more money than Bradley over the past 2 or 3 years though. I know it's not about money, or not supposed to be at least, but to the boxers it is. The guy is basically set for life, has his wife as manager, owns his own gym and auto business.

Why? They've been good to him, if there's one group of fighters not working with other promoters it's the Haymon fighters.

how can you manny pacquiao,
first ballot hall of famer,
bona fide ATG,
fighter of the decade,
fight chris freaking algieri and now jessie vargas back to back???
that's disgusting.
you deserve to get whatever hate you get for agreeing to this fight.

Relax. The guy's just one of the backup fighters being considered. Geez, you're acting like the ignorant dog next door that barks at the same people for years. Wise up.
