GBP: "If You Want Mares, Give Us Rios for Matthyse"

[thewinfella]

Bob Arum will not allow Brandon Rios to fight anybody that may scupper his plans for him to fight Manny Pacquiao, never in a million years!

Matthyse Rios would be a toe to toe war!, im talking all out offensive warfare what a fight!

[Hatesrats]

Smart move by GBP's avoid Mathysse Vs. Garcia
(the REAL fight @140)

Sadly TR has other plans for Rios.

[No10Point]

Matthyse Rios would not be an all out war.

Matthyse would become the boxer puncher as Rios has only 1 way to get the job done.
Matthyse has known power so IF Rios was walking through that ... well we know it's not natural for baseball players to hit so many home runs ...

U knew? GBp would only agree if rios fights lucas in which is a great idea. I personally rather have rios vs garcia cause i still believe rios would destroyed overrated garcia. But lucas i feel is a better fighter then garcia so lucas vs rios would be an all out war. Gbp is being very fair to arum. But arum of course will still turn it down.

what? are you high? that is a good compromise. This is a business after all and Arum just muscling GBP into losing money on an event just to make a fight is dumb first of all.

How about Garcia faces his mando matthysse.

and mares faces his mando terrazas

both are action packed fights and all are highly ranked in their divisions.

Garcia is already fighting Judah. This is a "in the meantime" fight, that I would love to see.

Best thing said on this thread.

It seems like Oscar's way of saying "You want Mares because you think he'll get beat by Donaire so give us Rios because we think Matthyse will beat him."

Regardless, I'd love to see both fights.

[Heavy Handed]

Damn!! I would love for this deal to go down! Should be co-main events though, what a card that would be!

[MollyWhop]

fair play.

Exactly. Oscar also knows that Arum will never come close to letting Rios do anything until he gets his in-house fight with Pac.

This is a deal killer.

This is a deal killer.

It's no more of a deal killer than Arum's disingenuous demand that Golden Boy have nothing to do with a Donaire-Mares promotion or that Mares simply wait out his contract if he really wants the fight.

True. I was merely commenting on the quote in the title.
