    I'm just saying - everyone besides Alvarado and Rios are signed to Golden Boy. Alvarado isn't allowed to fight due to medical reasons. The only two other available opponents are Marquez and Bradley who are signed into a fight.


    Is there really any other choice, besides Pacquiao sitting out for the rest of the year?

    Popular top 10 fighters, none. His promoter has burned the bridge with GBP, who dominate 140-154 with having the top fighters there. Pacquiao ruined a 5th fight with Marquez by low balling him, and Marquez rightfully chose to fight Bradley, who at this point is the tougher fight any way. As well as a refreshing style match up, a lot of us are tired of watching Marquez schooling Pacquiao and getting robbed, and a lot of us are satisfied with Marquez knocking Pacquiao the F out.

    Khabib, and I don't know who is Abregu signed to. Those two are the only available top 10 fighters from 140-147. Unless he has the balls to step up to 154 and fight Vanes Martirosyan.

    i personally dont think so.. either rios or alvarado and im happy with either guy getting a shot aslong as there are no bull**** clauses (like a re hydration clause) then its going to be a great action packed fight

    I think pac is the harder fight for Jmm as far as bodily damage, he was getting pretty banged up. Bradley is gonna be a more tactical approach.

    Could've tried to redeem himself against Marquez but Manny priced himself out (again)

    This is the dude that "fights for honour and the fans" don't forget :lol:

    Right now i dont think so.

    JMM chose to fight Bradley instead, Alvarado is out for the year due to injury,the other main welters are with GBP so that's not an option due to the all TR/GBP feud and refusal to work together, so the only two options left would be Rios or Provodnikov, either one of them would be good, they picked Rios i think its a good opponent for someone who's coming of a hard brutal loss and it will be a great fight IMO.

    If Bob Arum would stop being such a ****ing idiot, he could have fought many decent names at 147 or at 140 coming up.

    Can we just cut the bull**** about potential opponents being ruled out because they have a different promoter?

    Shits ruining the sport. Maybe it's time for Pac and Arum to start dealing.

    Marquez wanted to be paid right vs Manny. What, Manny can't afford it?

    Jesse Vargas will eventually be a Manny opponent.

    So Pac is just going to fight the same two or three guys over and over again until he retires?
