The truth of the matter is that they needed Broner to sell the fight. After Manny made those remarks about gays his public image took a hit. Having a loud mouth black guy who everyone hates would make Manny look like the good guy again. Good vs. Evil. It was Manny vs. Floyd all over again. That and Broner being an easy win is why they wanted him. Broner knew damn well what they were trying to do and that's why he asked for $10 mil. If you're about to make me play the bad guy I want to get paid like an actor because that's basically what your're doing, paying me to act. Anyone that really wanted to see Pac vs. Broner or think Pac vs. Broner is a better fight than Vargas vs. Pac is the exact type of person they were going after with the Broner fight

And we lost all respect for Manny. Three out of four of his last fights, the public did not ask for or want: Algieri, Bradley III and now Vargas. The one fight the public demanded, Mayweather, was an enormous letdown.
Seriously, what does fighting Jesse Vargas prove at this point? The fight will bomb on PPV, and rightly so. There are so many great fighters out there in and around 147, yet Pac is fighting the 9th or 10th best. Jesse Vargas is a nobody, a nothing. This will be a pointless, one-sided fight that does not enhance Pac's legacy one iota. And his shameless swerving of Crawford is unforgivable.

Originally posted by Cgarcia View PostThat's why Pacquiao is the real TBE, and real cash cow when it comes to opponents. They demand money Floyd would laugh at giving. Danny Garcia's dad wants $20 mil for a Pac fight and $10 mil for a Mayweather fight. That also tells you who is the riskier fighter. Broner wanted Floyd without even talking about the money.

The same morons who spout the "a-side doe" nonsense saying GGG should have taken a 90-10 split at 155 vs Canelo somehow think its just peachy for the idiot Broner to demand $10 mil vs Pac. Its laughable. Quite predictable, but laughable just the same........
Broner, like him or not, would do an incredible job of selling the fight, almost as good a job as Floyd did selling the ODH fight.
I'm not saying he deserves $10 mil. I think its no different then TR paying Tim Bradley more than they did Rios or ALgieiri since Tim had more name value that would push sales higher?
