That's absolutely ****ing dreadful. This will generate zero interest and rightly so.

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 don't think it's a duck, but more Arum dragging things out for as long as possible... Vargas isn't Manny's last fight... so who else is Manny POSSIBLY going to fight after Vargas if not Crawford... Rios 2, Bradley 4? There will literally be no one left.

This fight though is a slight to the fans. Manny doesn't care. Arum doesn't care. Crawford doesn't care if he knows he'll be getting the Manny fight down the line in April. Only the fans care.

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

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.

Didn't Crawford's team say "**** Pacquiao, he had his chance" ?

[The Akbar One]

So Pacquiao is going to fight the left overs of the guy he easily beat, who beat the left overs really easily. Yeah Arum, you make a whole lot of sense. This is a *****ty ass fight. Pac should get a stoppage though.
