Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Have Agreed To Fight Jessie Vargas on November 5

[IR0NFIST]

When an opponent was still uncertain and offers were sent, we found out very quickly who truly wanted the fight. Three candidates were in line for the biggest opportunity of their careers, two priced themselves out and one refused to meet at the designated weight class.

Seated in obscurity was Jessie Vargas, newly crowned WBO welterweight champion, and the only man who was willing to answer the call. If anyone is to blame for this match-up -- it falls squarely on the laps of those self-entitled divas that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has given birth to.

It's such a garbage fight it might not even be on HBO PPV.

Even team Crawford didn't want it.

The greatest ducker and cherry picker in boxing history continues his trend of cherry picking fights he and his team know he can win. A brief history to those *******s who truly believe that Pacman only pees Orange juice and poops Strawberry Cheesecake with walnuts:

Brandon Rios: An absolute garbage fight. Rios was coming off a loss and was a 135Ibs fighter for fcuk's sake. Rios is a human punching bag to top it off
Algieri: Prior to that fight, nobody on this planet knew who Algeiri was and it was a catch weight fight. One of many.
Mosley: Was coming off a UD loss to Floyd. How the fcuk do you justify fighting a guy that was just completely beaten up?
Hatton: Got destroyed by Floyd then spoon fed by Arum to Pacman.
Cotto: Weight drained to fight at 145
Oscar: Weight drained to fight at 147
Clottey: WTF!! Another puching bag that just came in for a paycheck
Jesse Vargas: Why? Why not Crawford or Thurman or Brooks or a real WW?

Pacman's record is littered with rematches after rematches (Marquez x4, Morales x3, Barrera x2, Bradley x3) - 12 fights Total.

Lastly, why can't Pac fight a true WW?? How is he considered an all time great when he has done nothing to fight real contenders.

Well said.

Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao confirmed on Wednesday that he is coming out of retirement to fight World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Jessie Vargas in November.

if this fight be pac's last obligation to bob for 2016...for me, let it be the last and pac should stay retired as a fighter after jv.....

i am aware the lure of the $$$ will be very difficult for pac to resist....knowing that people depends on him....and that he will need the big money again when he pursue his political ambitions.....

i have no problem with pac helping people out....but i also believe he should also retire from politics after his senate stint....

I love manny .. my favorite boxer over the past 10 years or so.. but I'm really starting to not be a fan anymore. After he stunk up the Floyd fight and now that he keeps taking these lame fights against no hopers , I'm really starting to doubt this guys desire to be the best.

He clearly is trying to collect checks with the minimum amount of effort now..

Yeah my thoughts exactly. I'll always be a huge Manny fan but this here lately is weak as f**k. It's a blatant soft touch cash grab. This fight is as meaningless as it f**king gets.

And how can they put this on PPV? I mean there's no f**king way, right? If Pacquiao/Bradley bombed then how do they think this one will do? This **** is 100% guaranteed to have horrific PPV numbers.

I'd actually be completely fine with this **** if they put i on regular subscription HBO...but we all know that's not happening
