    Berto fight was crap also, I hated that fight. Heck, didn't even order it.

    Jessie Vargas is Berto level or below, I don't know if people forgot, but dude had atlest 2-3 gift decisions when he was still under Mayweather Promotions, which is why Mayweather let him go so easy, dude was spoiled goods.

    Vargas is a C+, maybe B- fighter at best. His career highlight is knocking down Tim Bradley, someone who has been knocked down atlest 5-8 times. Nothing special.

      becaue they're fanboys. both are garbage fights.

      the best way to send a message about a fight like these is to refuse to buy them.

        Surely you remember when Victor Ortiz was considered the next Oscar De La Hoya. What happened? Berto was giving him fits before losing that fight. Rematch, he KO's "No Mas" like it's nothing.

        I wouldn't put Berto up there with the likes of Shawn Porter, but he's not nearly as much a bum as Jessie Vargas.

              Because they don't know the significance of being TBE. In the back of their minds Pac is the real TBE.

              Floyd vs Berto was just about right. Hell didn't break loose.

                  Seriously I hope this fight does 0 PPV's. Everyone should Refuse to buy it.

                  I just hope after the Vargas fight that everyone is demanding the Epic quadrilogy Bradley 4 the fans are crying for it. Then Marquez 5. Seriously though why is Pac unretiring for this dull fight?

                  Pacs never even fought a natural Welterweight Thurman KO's Pac retire his money>legacy a$$ for good.

                    what if its a two fight offer and if pacquiao wins, the crawford fight happens?

                    how would you feel about that?

                    what if crawford fights in the undercard vs someone like bradley? or at a later date. kinda like what kovalev and ward are doing?

                      I don't even know why people doesn't like Berto, he is never in a boring fight, his losses besides the Floyd fight, had been wars, he is fast, powerful, explosive and with a bad chin, he got everything you need for great fight.
                      Also, i'm not upset with Vargas, Manny is almost over, he fought the best, Vargas is a good fighter, i'm sure Manny doesn't even wants to be in the ring, is fault of Arum.
