Comments Thread For: Duva: Pacquiao-Vargas PPV Will Effect Ours - Still an Easy Choice

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The fact that Manny Pacquiao's next fight will be airing without HBO's backing - the first time since Pacquiao fought Shane Mosley in May 2011 on a pay-per-view distributed by Showtime - has a lot to do with the fight that follows it two weeks later.

i honestly dont think it will affect it much ones got the hbo machine behind it and is arguably the best fight boxing can make the other is manny against an overmatched foe

[Combat Talk Radio]

Will they choose Manny? I'm frankly not so sure. Kovalev is up there even if Ward isn't, and Manny choosing Vargas might very well have turned people off. That and the fact he won't have any LGBT people tuning in.

Uh, rest your fears there Kathy... TR TV airing a fight that even Pac fans refuse to talk about is not going to threaten the most anticipated fight of the year.

The LGBT won't affect anything because LGBT make up a fraction of the population. Some say 10% but that's rumored to be a big overestimation designed to increase their political power by exaggerating their numbers. I've read the truth is more like 1% or 2%, certainly below 5% based on what I've read.

I can't believe Arum was really angry at HBO. What were they supposed to do? Postpone Kovalev vs. Ward due to Senator Pacquiao's schedule?

Im gonna get both, think the pac vargas fight will be more entertaining, wards best chance to winning is gonna be to dull the action which is what i think hes gonna do.

One of these fights is meaningful and important, with historical consequences.

The other is just a cynical attempt to squeeze money out of as many suckers as possible.

I certainly know which one I'll be watching.
