Maybe Koncz checked the wrong box again...

Arum has the final say, not Paqcuiao. Who is this old man fooling?

Arum has the final say and I have a feeling he messed up negotiations with PBC fighters to keep money fights in house. I want to see Pacquiao-Broner for entertainment purposes, itll be a fun ride from press conferences all the way to fight night.

Seems like Arum wants pacman to fight crawford still, vargas would be a more fan friendly fight. Vargas also has more personality than crawford, so i would think if vargas won in an exciting fight he would be a much bigger draw than crawford, plus vargas will have that mexican fanbase.

Vargas seems like a good dude but I honestly hope it's a haymon fighter. Crawford is way more of a challenge for manny but I think it will be less entertaining of a fight.

Koncz is useless. Name one useful thing that can be attributed to Koncz alone.

I don't know about fan friendly, but definitely...Mexican friendly. And Arum knows it. It will be Vargas for that very reason. And once he's milked all the Mexican money, Manny will be about 70, with rumors of his retirement.

Of course Manny has the final say on his opponent but when Arum only offers you Vargas.....Manny's choice is pretty easy.

Crawford not good for Pac, doe... not good at all...
