    if pac beats marquez with no question marks over the decison or ko, then floyd will never fight pac because pac will want a bigger %, as for the rios thing, well thats big bucks for arum win or lose for pac and marquez.

    I think the reason why Pac is sticking with Arum is simple: loyalty. He probably feels he owes Arum a great deal of service for helping him become one of the most famous athletes in the world. But still, Pac needs Arum as much as I need my parents to cook and clean for me. Arum is already filthy rich and Pac has done enough for him. It's time to try something different. It doesn't mean their business has to end on bad terms. But whatever. It's Pac's life and he can do whatever he wants with it. I just hope he retires soon so I don't have to be distracted by the media gushing about him every damn minute of the day. Tired of his ass. Floyd too.

    I have no interest in a Mayweather-Pac fight anymore so I'm fine with a Pac-Rios fight, though it wouldn't be my first pick for Pac. Not too mention Mayweather and Pac clearly don't want to fight each other.

    Mayweather-Pac would have been great 3-4 years ago but only because they were the two best fighters in the world at/close to their peaks. I always viewed the fight as less than exciting in the ring and Mayweather would have been a clear favorite to beat him but its not often you get the two best fighters going at it and it would have been a huge event so I wanted to see it just like everyone else.

    Now, the fight is still less than exciting, Mayweather still beats Pac, and now they are both clearly past their primes. I'm just not interested in it anymore.

    Since Pac isn't going to ever face Mayweather than Rios is one of the better options left if he beats Alvarado. Pac beats him but its a fun fight while it lasts not too mention Pac is getting older and seems to be losing his desire which gives Rios's chances a boost.

    You could probably name a number of guys from 140-154 who have a better chance of beating Pac than Rios does but not as many would make for the action that a Pac-Rios fight would deliver.

    Well stated.....Let's hope PAC gets in another TOP fighter before ending things on a light touch. Rios would be a great fight to ride off into the sunset after a history making career that PAC has earned.

    Young Mexican American lion is a tougher fight than a slick Afro-americana lion.This fight will be explosive.

    That's exactly what they want though.. Pac to look like a monster again.. They complain that he's fought too many 'boxers' recently, AKA stop fighting people that don't make you look invincible. :-(

    Pretty blatent duck. Calling out floyd when you have a fight signed and allready rushin to sign up another after it. Prob want to avoid the 2 months they spent withou a scheduled fight having mayweather calling them out

    Arums not an idiot but everyone should be able to see what his doing

    Well, it will be a real fight mate. A real fight! Bradley is a pussay. NOW if this fight doesn't go through.

    There's Mathyesse or Maidana.As long as it's a Latino.It will be explosive.We need this in boxing. REAL fight, mano o mano.

    Sick and tired of Borenard, Andre Bored, Floyd.Sick of the slick steroid use as well. Peterson, Berto and Tarver.Heck, I suspect Bradley is on the same **** too.
    :tired

    I'm pretty sure Margo was Rios daddy in the gym, and look at what Pac did to him. Pac would destroy Rios, pointless fight.
