We are six days away from fight time and the return to the ring of future Hall of Fame boxer turned politician Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao comes back from his seven month retirement on Saturday night when he takes on Jessie Vargas live on PPV.
Top Rank may be going it alone for this PPV, without the help of normal partner HBO, but they are still producing preview videos to build up the hype. Here, check out their official preview: “Countdown to Pacquiao vs. Vargas”. The video highlights the preparations of Pacquiao and what he has been up to since his April fight with Timothy Bradley, plus shines the spotlight on the relatively unknown Vargas, particularly highlighting his relationship with trainer Dewey Cooper. For fans who don’t know much about Vargas, this is a good chance to catch up on him.
“Countdown to Pacquiao vs. Vargas” is available here, and can also be seen on the official Pacquiao vs. Vargas website here.
