Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Selects Jessie Vargas, Rules Out Crawford For 11/5

Now.

I'd like to hear the "Pac Squad" explain to the class why this isn't an outright, DOWNRIGHT duck of Terrence Crawford.

I'll wait.

I think at this stage Pac is just fighting for money. With that said, the Crawford PPV did less than 50k; at least with Vargas they can try and sell a young Mexican warrior against him.

Im happy for Vargas, hes getting paid & fighting the best unlike the other scary WW champs pricing themselves out. Hopefully Vargas can pull it off & shut the haters up.

Did Thurman price himself out? How much would a Broner vs. Pacquiao PPV do vs. a Pacquiao vs. Vargas PPV do? This fight won't even be in America. Bob isn't taking a hit on his third straight PPV. He'll get a nice fee from China or Dubai if he's actually serious this time.

Was always going to be the fight as was the first name from Arums mouth , Manny is guaranteed of getting the win while Vargas is expendable .

Lol f ppv #s f purses. These pbc fighters need to start manning the f up. Hell look how long it took for fights "one time" a year Thurman to fight Porter. Porter is the only no non sense guy on that pbc roster, maybe spence but hes still wet behing the ears.

I have to agree, good for Vargas after that mishap with Brook. I don't have a problem with this fight, it's a good scrap.

Typically as a rule, I never believe a word Michael Koncz says

[Eff Pandas]

Zero f#cks given about this fight. Don't see the point for Manny & I don't see how Vargas earned a shot at Manny or even old Manny. Although TC probably made this fight a foregone conclusion by wanting 140 or nothing last I heard cuz who's TR got that they can even use.

“I don’t like Crawford’s style. I don’t believe it’s a style that suits Manny,” Koncz said.

Asked if that meant Crawford was too fast, or too defensive, Koncz said, “His style! Leave it as his boxing style.”

Weak ass fight if true

I like Vargas and I'm rooting for him to pull the upset.

Same here. War Vargas!
