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

[jjsmyth87]

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.

Lol now I know you really don't have a clue what your talking about. The December HBO card with Tim Bradley, every single fight featured a top rank fighter vs. A fighter from a different promotional company. Even golden boy fighter Mauricio Herrera was on that card. Mannys last opponent algieri wasn't top rank. Yourikoris gamboa got out of his contract with top rank and bob arum still had Terance Crawford fight him when nobody else would work with his promoter 50 cent. The only guy in this industry that doesn't do business with top rank is al haymon. They are trying to screw over everyone else and just be the dominant people, they even tried to screw over golden boy, why do you think Oscar de la Hoya aligned with bob arum now? Because shawfer was a snake and was working for haymon while Oscar was thinking he had all these fighters in his stable but most of them aren't even signed with golden boy like Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman ECT. Bob arum always works with other promoters dummy you really know nothing.

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

Yeah the ESPN fighter if the year and the universally recognized lightweight king who just beat the number 2 guy in the division with ease is such a cherry pick right? Lol and you can't say he's fighting smaller guys because Terance Crawford drains all the way down from 155 to 135 to make weight so he is bigger and taller than pacquiao. Hes also another undefeated champion. You may be the only person in the world who feels that is a fall from grace, but for the rest of us that would be another marquee win for pacquiao, unlike mayweather who only has a couple of those.

u do realize arums the one that said it first right even after mayweather and pac started talking so to act like its just delusional fans is dumb

No you have your facts wrong. Vargas was on the undercars of the Manny algieri fight and beat DeMarco, but was the first fight shown so he was at the bottom, anyways after the fight he was calling out pacquiao at the press conference and they asked arum if he couldn't get mayweather would Vargas be plan b. Alls arum said was he would be on the plan b list why not. What's he going to say to a dude he promotes no absolutely not? Of course he is going to want to make his fighter happy and say he'd be a possibility that doesn't mean he's a front runner by any means.

Timmy's last 5 fights: Chaves, Pac, JMM, Prov, Pac.

Haymon stable:

Garcia- Salka, Herrera, Mattysse, Judah, Morales.
Broner- Taylor, Molina, Maidana, Paulie, Rees.
Thurman- Bundu, Diaz, Soto Karass, Chaves, Zaveck.
Khan- Alexander, Collazo, Diaz, Molina, Garcia.
Maidana- Floyd, Floyd, Broner, Lopez, Martinez.

I'd say Bradley has had a better run over the blue chip Haymon guys at 140/147. He's fought decent comp every time up and has secured himself financially. He even "beat" 2 hall of famers along the way.

This must be a bad dream this is not reality.

Your avatar is hilarious!


Pacquiao cannot plead ignorance to a Jessie Vargas fight. He is a grown ass man and the 2nd biggest boxer on planet Earth! A disgraceful bout...again.

[Thomas_Hearns]

Terrible fight I hope he retires.

You don't really believe any of what you wrote makes Pacquiao-Crawford a good fight, do you? Trolling aside.

As a PAC fan,and you can quote me in this,if he fights vargas,he loses all credibility as a boxer. There are plentybof fighters other than this trash that he could fight. He could fight khan,danny Garcia,Lucas matthyse,maidana,provodnikov,shaw porter,kieth Thurman,brooks. **** it fight Adrien broner,or paulie god damn malinagi,but please don't fight this clown. I'd rather see PAC vs Bradley 3 or pac vs algieri 2 rather that this ****.

LOL...Because YOU says so??? Some of you guys get on here and at like you're the promoter/HOF voters etc etc.
