Question Introducing 2 new Boars to my single Boar

Hello All!! I have a question for anyone out there that has some experience in introducing boars. I lost one of my boars several weeks ago, and now that we've all had some time to grieve, its time to get my lonely boar, Gus, a new friend.

I found a little guy on Petfinder that I fell in love with. His name is Tanner. So I called the rescue today to inquire about him and was told that he is housed with a brother and they must go together. I completely understand and certainly would not want to seperate them. But I'm wondering: what are the chances that this will work out?? Tanner and his brother are about 2 years old, my Gus is about 1.5 years old. My Gus is not aggressive. He is a BIG pig, but very mellow. What are the odds that I can introduce two new boars successfully to Gus? I was worried about the challenges of introducing one new pig, but two sounds a little intimidating to me. What do you guys think? I want to give them a home, but don't want to get myself into something I will regret. I would feel terrible if they didn't get along.
