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

Riis is a bigger name than mathysse and donaire is a bigger name than mares so Top Rank holds all the cards here

I'd say Oscar would be better off negotiation for a Garcia - Rios fight that GBP promotes solo, than trying to force a Rios Matthaysse fight right now.

Totally agree. That's a more realistic offer. Mares needs Donaire more than Donaire needs him, and Rios needs Garcia more than Garcia needs him. Both are more or less equivelants of one another. Rios-Matthysse is not. That is an offer GBP know TR will not take up.

Actually they don't. Winner could get a shot at Mr Crispy who is the best at 140.
