NEU » for his November return. Koncz told

Andy Reginald Dinh issued a response Tuesday afternoon regarding Riot Games co-founder Marc Tryndamere Merrills comments from Monday, saying Merrills points convey an out-of-date perspective which doesnt take into account the current state of the esports ecosystem.Response to MarcRead: https://t.co/RLMbdRfc0Z- Andy Dinh (@TSMReginald) August 23, 2016Merrills comments sparked outrage and disbelief Monday afternoon after he wrote, Love me some Regi ... if hes so concerned about the financial health of his players, maybe he should spend more of the millions he has made ... paying [his players] instead of investing in other esports where he is losing money.Dinh promised a response via Twitter. On Tuesday, he addressed Merrills thinking that the League of Legends Championship Series was a major profit investment for Dinhs organization and whether or not he was underpaying his players.First, Dinh stated The reason why I started to invest in other games was because LCS left me no choice. The relegation system is unstable and risky for everyone, other publishers are more collaborative and provide more opportunities for teams and players to make revenue.Moving to his next point, he wrote that the LCS was stagnant in compensation and player stipends and that, despite the longer schedule with more games, the pay scale hardly budged even though the cost of player salaries, content production, support staff and housing costs are spiraling up.He defended his pay scale and claimed to be one of the top organizations in player compensation and post-retirement care. Dinh then reiterated his points from the original interview about how the timing of the patches deeply impacted both players careers and team choices.These points were mirrored in a video by outspoken League of Legends caster and analyst, Christopher MonteCristo Mykles. In his video, he said Riot was outdated in its treatment and payment of commentators, outlining a trend in Riots esport that extends to players and talent alike.My vlog on Tryndameres post on Reddit:https://t.co/yu6ZM6tuFa- MonteCristo (@MonteCristo) August 23, 2016It is not known if Riot will issue a response.Michael Young Rangers Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs.

Or has he? It depends on who you believe.Pacquiao, 37, will come out of a brief retirement to fight Nov. 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas in a pay-per-view view headliner. Michael Koncz, Pacquiaos adviser, told ESPN via text message that Vargas is the choice to be the opponent.Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, however, told ESPN.com later Thursday that Vargas is not necessarily the opponent and that Terence Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs), who unified junior welterweight world titles with his dominant decision win against Viktor Postol on July 23, is still in the running.Arum and Koncz are scheduled to fly with each other to the Philippines on Sunday night to meet with Pacquiao in person, go over the deal points and get his official decision on who he will fight.When told that Koncz said that the pick was in, and that it was Vargas, Arum responded, Why would I go to the Philippines if I already had a deal and a decision on the opponent? If everything was set and arranged, why would I go over there for two days? Im not going over there for the food. I am going to find out what the f--- is on Mannys mind and its not easy to talk to him on the phone and we have to talk about a lot of things. Among the issues is the opponent.Michael can say whatever he wants but I havent talked to Manny about any of this.Arum added: Michael feels strongly about the opponent, but thats Michael, not Manny. And Manny has the final say. Theres no reason to be cute. I have no idea who Manny wants to fight yet, but its up to him, not up to me and not up to Michael.Arum did say he has an agreement in place with Vargas should Pacquiao pick him. Arum said Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) and manager Cameron Dunkin came to Arums Las Vegas office recently and worked out the particulars, but that everybody knew the deal was contingent on Pacquiaos approval.Were ready to go, Dunkin said. I talked to Jessie [on Wednesday] and hes very excited. He really respects Manny, really respects [Pacquiao trainer Freddie] Roach. Jessie has already been training and getting ready. This is a chance of a lifetime. He just wants the fight. He really believes he can win and soo do I.ddddddddddddHes 27, in his prime and as great a fighter as Manny is, hes got a lot of things going on. Jessie is very, very confident hes going to win the fight. Theres no doubt in his mind.Dunkin also co-manages Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs), 29, of Omaha, Nebraska. Arum said he has talked to Crawfords attorney about the outline of a possible deal to fight Pacquiao because Terence felt there might be a bit of a conflict for Cameron because he also manages Vargas, so he asked us to speak with his lawyer, which is what we have done.Pacquiao, who was elected to a six-year term to the senate in the Philippines in May, will fight while the government body is in recess. However, he plans to train in the Philippines, doing his senate duties by day and training by night before the recess. After Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs), boxings only eight-division titleholder, outpointed Timothy Bradley Jr. in their third fight on April 9 in Las Vegas, he announced his retirement.However, few believed it would stick and just a few months later he and Top Rank began making plans for his November return. Koncz told the Los Angeles Times that the site for Pacquiaos return is up in the air. He said it could be Las Vegas or Dubai, where supposedly there are investors interested putting up millions to lure a Pacquiao fight.Arum, however, told ESPN.com the fight will definitely be at the Thomas & Mack Center.Do I have meetings in Los Angles with people who have interest doing one of Mannys fights in Dubai? Yes, Arum said. But Michael is mistaken. Even if we went there it would not be for the November fight. If we went there it might be for a spring [2017] fight.Of course, a fight next spring could also be a possible rematch against Floyd Mayweather, who outpointed Pacquiao in their May 2015 welterweight unification bout, the richest fight in boxing history. Although Mayweather retired following his September victory against Andre Berto, few believe it will stick and that the prospect of another enormous payday against Pacquiao and the chance to run his record to 50-0 will be too much for him to resist.
