Manny would be the favorite probably but Swift could probably pull off the upset. He's younger and bigger with a lot less tread on his tires. It wouldn't be a shock in the least if he beat Manny in a 12 round decision.

Nah Arum in cash out mode, look how short that so called retirement been, with Manny being a politician a lot of stupid shyt comes out of his mouth he was talking about hanging nikkas last week, Arum can't risk future millions on a loose tongue Manny...

As far as Swift goes, he's a stylistic glitch for Manny, he's a come forward counter puncher, that's accurate enough with super precision to get close and land bombs without jabbing, the jab is the key here Manny a counterpuncher in his own right counters and get aggressive once he takes away and parries his opponent jab, when his opponent doesn't use one he selectively flurries darting in and out ala margarito and Rios, but swift at that elite level, Swift is the wrong fighter to play those games as he'll punch right with manny countering mid combo, Floyd manhandled and Lil manned Manny, Garcia and that natural welter size mauls him
LOL, Danny ain't Floyd breh. He ain't punking Pac. Pac in a clear decision.

in a way Garcia reminds me of a Juan Marquez in terms of counterpunching. Not only can he catch you with a good shot but can turn up the pressure for his opponent to make some mistakes....then WHAP!.. u got caught.

I still think Manny beats him due to experience alone. Manny should know Swift's style right off the bat.

WTF is with these PBC dudes passing on multiple millions and a shot at becoming a PPV star? First Biscuits and now Swift...that shyt makes no sense.
And I know the PBC guys turning the fight down is making Arum happy because he is desperate to have Manny fight the winner of Postol/Crawford. I think the only problem there is that Manny isn't going to fight anyone who is not bringing something to the table in terms of name recognition and fan support.

So the odds of his fighting the winner of Postol/Crawford will rely heavily on just how that PPV does. And I hate to be a naysayer but I don't see that card making more than $37. No one gives a damn about the fight or those fighters in the grand scheme of things.

Same goes for Vargas. No one is going to give a fukk about a Manny vs Vargas PPV. Just like no one will give a fukk about a Manny vs Crawford/Postol PPV.
Hopefully Allah Haymon realizes that a win over Manny is good business for PBC and can cajole either Biscuits or Danny into taking the offers being made.

4 Million is an insult to Danny.

It's gonna be Jesse Vargas. They're gonna sell it like it's Manny's 12th World Title attempt of something.

PPV buys gonna be :trash:

But we're not gonna hear anything until after this weekend.

4 Million is an insult to Danny.

Not necessarily when you look at the bigger picture. Danny's not making $4-5 Mill against anyone else not named Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao (and I'd balk at him even making a guaranteed $5 mill w/ Floyd). It's kinda like the term goes "Less is more". Danny making $4 mill with a small upside on PPV % is still his biggest payday and against still one of the best fighters in the world. A win over Manny even now though puts him directly in the driver's seat for a Floyd fight where he can legit ask for $8-10 Mill guaranteed purse (which I doubt he'd still get). He can't expect to fight the Bertos of the world and make the same type of money and or ask for more than what he's never gotten in the 1st place. None of the guys at 147 are gonna make 8 figures fighting either Manny or Floyd right now let alone the rest of the 147 division.
