Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Has Final Say on Opponent - NOT Koncz!

[darius45]

Vargas will be a more fan friendly fight than Crawford. I can see Crawford running all night, away from Pacquiao bombs, just like in the Postol fight. Sad to say, Crawford is boring.

Not necessarily. Crawford only "ran" with Postol because he was comfortably up on points. He would never be that up on points with Manny, so he would have no choice but take risks throughout the fight. Crawford is not Floyd. He will not be able to outpoint Manny so easily. That's why it's such an intriguing matchup. But I don't think Crawford has the power to end Manny, and Crawford's southpaw stance isn't going to frazzle Manny like it does other fighters. If anything it will be Manny cruising on points not going for the knock out.

Seems like Arum wants pacman to fight crawford still, vargas would be a more fan friendly fight. Vargas also has more personality than crawford, so i would think if vargas won in an exciting fight he would be a much bigger draw than crawford, plus vargas will have that mexican fanbase.

I don't believe that you would rather Vargas over Crawford. Forget fanbase, Manny keeps a full house...

You're spot on. Crawford, although winner of his last fight, reminded me as the second coming of Lara and Rigondeaux. Vargas style suits Pacman and vice versa. PPV draws would be way higher than fighting Crawford. QUOTE=hectari;16924967]Seems like Arum wants pacman to fight crawford still, vargas would be a more fan friendly fight.

Not like Vargas is a slugger that has been in FOTY candidates or anything lol. Is he really much less boring than Crawford? Where's his Crawford-Gamboa or Crawford-Lundy equivalent?

translation: Arum wants to be the one to announce that it will be Vargas

Its funny when Arum acts like Koncz isn't his inside man with all things Manny.

[Levi's]

Koncz is not and was not Pacquiao Adviser nor a Manager; he's a General Factotum of Pacquiao. He must have left the announcement to Arum. But Koncz as always trying to be relevant beat Arum to the decision of Pacquiao and announce it ahead to feed his ego.

Arum got final say.... Not manny, not koncz, not jinkie,,, arum

Yes Vargas is good opponent. Bradley was a great win so no need to let a youngster make his name off of you. Don't feel pressure to take tough fights every time.

Just fight to keep rust off before the big one asgainstfloyd
