Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios

According to Koncz Bradley turned down $6m to face Pac in Macau. He's now facing JMM for less.

 

Pac should outbox Rios easily, he's got too much movement for him, but could be interesting if he gets dragged into a toe to toe war, either way I reckon Pac wins by KO, fun fight though and the build up could be tasty after Rios' Roach pisstake

 

If Mayweather v Danny Garcia was made for September everybody would be ripping Mayweather apart for fighting a guy from 140lbs.

 

Fair enough if you are looking forward to this, we will disagree. But, seriously you are defending Arum, 'Arum gets too much undue ****'!

 

Imagine how many great fights could be made if Goldenboy & TopRank were working together.

Mayweather/Pacquiao/Marquez/Bradley

Matthysse/Peterson/Garcia/Khan/Rios/Alverado

All quality match ups.

 

Considering Pac suffered one of the most devastating KOs of the last 10 or so years in his last fight this isn't too a bad comeback fight. May well need some seriously confidence building after that.

Alvarado probably would have been better wasn't available.

This aint PPV worthy though.

 

Yeah, he's snake but people act like he's this evil old guy stopping fights from happening. Nonsense. Golden Boy/Schaefer are as bad but don't have the same bad rep for whatever reason.

You can't blame Arum for Pac/Alvarado not happening. Pac was offered both, he and Koncz chose Rios.

 

Pac said he would do the blood tests and take 40% split for a Mayweather fight, is that right? Would that good guy Arum not try to cut a deal to make that fight?

 

If you think Arum's to blame for Floyd/Pac not happening

 

With you on that. People on here ripping Mayweather for fighting Guerrero should be tearing this one to shreds, even if it isn't a bad match-up in terms of it being a fairly refined slugger v meathead slugger

 

Very excited for this fight, should be a great night. Macau confirmed??

 

Both sides as bad as each other. You think Arum genuinely tried to make that fight, he is the good guy etc and that is all Mayweather's fault?

 

Good match up should be entertaining for a while at least.

If Pacquiao is back on form it could be beginning of the end for Rios way too many hard fights i thought he may have had an easier comeback after the two Alvarado fights.

 

Same Rios getting ****ed here because off the golden boy bull****.

I've no doubts Rios would destroy Khan and take Peterson out, taking a world title.

Instead hes being lead into war after war, I mean the guy deserves a world title fight ffs.

 

love how people seem to think they know exactly what went on in negotiations for that fight. Both sides to blame end of story.
