Vargas to Kellerman:"I'm sorry I'm not Russian! I'm sorry I'm not from the Ukraine...

[Motorcity Cobra]

"Sometimes he (Max Kellerman) says things that are just very, very ignorant. I can't control what he says, but it's just ******ity! It seems that he already wants to take credit away from me. Yeah, I'm going to beat him. Oh but if Jessie Vargas beats him, it means he (Manny Pacquiao) is washed up. But if it's another fighter, he's the next superstar." The Las Vegas based champion doesn't understand why he's not receiving respect from someone who has seen him in action from ringside, and who supposedly understands the business of boxing. Vargas is su****ious that maybe his image doesn't fit Kellerman's idea of the next HBO PPV star. - See more at:

"I'm sorry I'm not white...I'm sorry I'm not black. I don't know if I'm marketable or not, but I can fight. And anyone who can fight and has the guts to face anyone should be given the proper respect," Vargas professed to "Tha Boxing Voice". "I'm sorry I'm not Russian! I'm sorry I'm not from the Ukraine! I'm sorry I don't look like you. This is who I am and I'm proud of it! I will win on November 5, and I will give you an action packed fight!" -

The only problem I have with this fight is that it's PPV.

Boxing fans needs to boycott PPV's. Enough of that crap already.

I don't know what's more cringeworthy, that statement, or the thaboxingvoice.

mega cringe all round

I agree. I have no problem with Vargas getting the fight. I just can't see myself paying for it at the moment. If I come into some extra money I'll buy it. I just can't justify spending that much for two PPV's that close to Christmas and thanksgiving

I don't understand why he had to bring discrimination into this. The problem is Bradley just took you too school minus one punch in the last round. Manny already embarrassed Bradley damn near 3 times. Vargas hasn't beaten anybody good enough to justify being one of Mannys last fights.

Manny can fight who he wants but don't start crying because anybody with a brain that watches boxing knows Vargas doesn't deserve this fight.

Oh he deserves it, it's just that nobody thinks that he can win.

WHY THE ****CK IS EVERYONE PLAYING THE RACE CARD???? It's the media influencing this epidemic of race baiting rhetoric. God damn partisan politics.

It's always like that.
If you beat a fighter, half the people will praise you and the other half will say you beat a fighter on a bad day or past his prime.

If you lose to an old fighter you just weren't any good and never deserved the chance.

It comes with the territory. So he needs to quit crying about it.

Kellerman is pretty knowledgeable about boxing but not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He can be very arrogant and disrespectful and he was disrespectful to Vargas who has a right to be pissed off at Kellerman.
