Manny Pac vs Vargas official thread

[powerpuncher]

The fight is tomorrow and I haven't seen anybody mention it on here. I will end up streaming it, but I'm not really that interested. Vargas is game but he is by no means a great fighter. Pac will be his normal self and beat Vargas very comfortably in a non exciting fight.

This is PPV and just a joke fight.

To drum up interest Arum is mentioning GGG/Crawford when in reality Manny would be happier at this level.

[Kel]

If I'm up I'll stream it, otherwise no, not fussed at all.

[vidgil]

I forgot this was even happening.

It's pretty sad that we're at the point where nobody cares about seeing Pacquiao fight!

And it didn't have to be this way! He could have fought Crawford or another real threat, but instead they chose a decent boxer with mediocre power... an easy 120-108 night for Pac!

That they have the nerve to ask people to pay to see this nonsense is sickening! Hopefully it does 12 PPV buys.

Is there drug testing for this fight?

I'll admit I'm getting the ppv. I'm also burning twelve hours of vacation time to see the fight. It is a mediocre fight but I was a bit surprised to see how quiet talk of the fight is. I guess Arum is content with having the loyal idiots like me who will pay for the fights. Despite the lackluster card I am looking forward to it. Where is @pacfan our friend in the Philippines who always pops up around manny fight time. It is tradition talking with pacfan

only for the people who buy the fight S:

I can't justify paying for this fight. A big name should only land a PPV fight if they are fighting g another big name. I'm hardly interested in the fight whatsoever but I'll stream it. If it were free, I wouldn't really mind the fight as much.

No not really, I don't rate Vargas that highly and can't see any way he wins, would be very surprised if he's even competitive. Anyone seen Magdaleno(sp), does he have a shot to beat Donaire? Probably most interested in seeing Oscar Valdez again, even though he looks to be in with a soft touch as well.

This fight belongs on ESPN, not on PPV. There is no interest whatsoever, and if Pac loses, it isn't much of an upset, just means he's old (which we already know). Floyd-Pac was horrible as a fight, but may have been exactly what the fans needed to start pushing back on these outrageous PPVs. Since that fight PPV fatigue has set in and less and less fans are paying to watch stay busy, non-competitive fights. I used to never miss a PPV, now I only pay for Ward-Kov level fights. Floyd vs Berto?!?!? Manny vs Algieri?!?!? Canelo vs Smith?!?!? No thanks.

Just remember thinking he isn't as good as his brother who Flanagan just steamrolled. Seems to have a lot of nervous energy and afterthought jab. Walks in to flurry and can be wide in last fight and might seriously be out of his depth with a focused counter punching Donaire.
