    If he stays on HBO he's gonna waste his prime years getting constantly matched up with bums like Rios while missing out on all the potential WARS he could be having if he was on Showtime. Imagine Provodnikov vs Matthysse, Provodnikov vs Maidana, Provodnikov vs Thurman. Man those would be some entertaining fights!

    People need to chill the **** out & get the off GBP hype train coz thats all it is pure hype.
    Provo just fought Timmy a guy who beats everyone over at GBP not named Floyd with ease, then he gets a straight title shot against Alvarado & now there's a very good chance he gets Marquez next another guy who smashes the GBP team. TR also have got young guys ready to step up soon in Crawford, Verdejo, Garcia & Gamboa also there's Allakhverdiev, Vargas & Guerrero if he jumps ship.

    what's the point if he only has a couple of lucrative fights with top rakn?

    it's better to have more options and get paid well with multiple fights. It will accumulate to a larger earnings in the long rim

    Provodnikov was his own man last I heard.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Rios vs Provodnikov.

    He takes Broner asunder.

    I honestly wouldn't like to see him vs Rios not now anyway, i fear for Rios in this fight and in fact in his career he takes such beatings every time even when he wins, no trolling or joking i'd fear for him with Provodnikov Rios is tough as nails and Ruslan could deliver a real prolonged beating and Rios certainly doesn't need another one of them.

    Provodnikov is making a **** load more money fighting main events on HBO than anything GB would be willing to pay him to fight on their network.

    Provodnikov just finished beating the Hell out of Bradley, left Bradley on the canvas, slurring his speech, dizzy for a long time. Who would you rather have been, Provodnikov or Bradley? I would have wanted to have been Provodnikov, Bradley's brain will never be the same..........

    No one would have heard of Provodnikov if it wasn't for the TR/GB feud.

    And i'm not sure he fits the showtime profile, which is much more US-centric than HBO, especially lately.

    Agreed...HBO is more about non-us fighters.
