    Seen this somewhere at Univision in Mexican site

    Nacho talks about there being no point to a 5th fight with Pacquiao.

    "We're interested in a puncher, like Brandon Rios."


    Also mentions that Juan plans 2 more fights before retirement, with the first coming in September.




    I always said I'd love to see him school Rios. It'd be a tear up. :bbb

    Perfect match up for JMM. Rios will become a "good boy".

    Pointless fight to be honest...Rios brings nothing to the table, no titles, nothing...Not even that "0" of his means much, since everyone knows Abril popped that cherry last year only to get robbed.


    At least we'll see a highlight reel of sick combinations/counters/uppercuts/body shots from JMM. :good

    Whatever float Marquez boat but at the end of the day it's still the same job for way less money. If I was Marquez I'd fight Pac a fifth time at 50/50, make 15-20 mills and retire.

    Rather watch Rios Vs. Pacquiao & Bradley Vs. Marquez...
    (Double bill) With the winners squaring off in Dec.

    ^Yeah, I know too easy.

    Whatever JMM wants to do at this stage in his career is fine by me. Fighting Rios might look like the first JMM vs Juan Diaz fight I suspect.

    You realize that JMM doesnt even have the need to keep fighting right. He is already very wealthy as well as has a job working for ESPN Deportes. I am sure after he retires he will be working there full time as he is as good an analyst as he is a boxer.

    The guy is set.

    All talk - he'll fight Pacquiao. He'll make $2m for Rios if he's lucky and make over $10m for Pacquiao

    He made well over that fighting Diaz years ago and before he got the exposure he now has. I think he makes at least 5 fighting Rios. That is PPV worthy and Rios is somewhat of a name.
