Why did Arum go after the 2 most hated & B-level PBC welterweights?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Broner & Garcia probably bring in the most PPV for Pac, plus he has the best chance to win against either according to most

Spence is a big prime WW, he is essentially still unknown and a huge risk. Thurman poses a massive threat and while being in the most watched fight in 2016 and 2nd most watched in 2015 his crossover appeal isnt as established as Broner or Garcia.

No reason to put in Porter no name recognition and he lost his last fight
Plus I'd think Bob wouldn't want Manny to deal with Porters size and aggresivness for 12 rounds

Biggest financial upside with least amount of risk means Danny & Broner would be Arums first choice

And he can sell good vs evil with either one of those fighters. Especially with Broner that's why he was his first choice. Loud mouth arrogant black guy. The casuals would eat it up.

Yeah for sure, Even though I Think Manny's untarnished Gooden boy image has lost a bit of its lustre the past few years that would be the selling point and I think Broner would do a great job selling it.

Broner should be the front runner for a Manny fight. But I'd be suprised if Crawford / Vargas don't get the nod.
