Comments Thread For: Arum: Not So Fast on Pacquiao vs. Vargas, Crawford Still in Play

[darius45]

I honestly don't think manny vs Crawford will be entertaining but he is the best viable opposition for manny of the two fighters. It was such a let down to hear broner,Garcia and thurmans names but ultimately be left with Crawford and Vargas. Once again bob is going bob and give us yet another manny fight people don't really want to see.

Manny/Broner would be the most entertaining fight. Garcia/Thurman play it safe.

But by far, Manny/Crawford is the most competitive fight to make and both guys are under TR so there should be no problems. No way Crawford is able to potshot(and outscore) Manny like Floyd did... At some point a war will break out, especially after Crawford tastes Manny's power.

I HIGHLY doubt we'll get Manny/Crawford and Ward/Kovalev in the same month though... boxing is never that kind.

Like i said before... we'll get Manny/Vargas in November, and Crawford in April.

Pacquiao has agreed to fight Crawford.

Arum: Pacquiao Has Said 'Yes' To Fighting Terence Crawford!

Arum adding Vargas to the mix is a business strategy. He wants more leverage when he starts negotiating with Crawford's team. A greedy team that got $1.21 million in the Lundy fight and refused to fight Postol unless it's PPV. Bottom line is negotiating with team Crawford is no cakewalk.
