    Source?

    If true it's a joke, surely Alvarado is a better option or the guy Bradley just faced for Pac to batter him to hype a Bradley rematch.

    Would have prefered if Alvarado fought Pac. Mike must be thinking WTF, I should get that shot. Also I think Rios would have benefited from fighting someone else hes coming off a loss. Is there a venue confirmed???

    I don't mind the fight. It should be action packed. The winner gets his career right back on track.

    sort of the truth. The guy who wins doesn't get the big fight. Although Rios vs. Pacman is a more exciting fight to be honest. This is a risky fight for Pacman, yet his handspeed is just to much for Rios.
     
  9. Rios getting ktfo. Doesn't have the skill to deal with PAC

    Was hoping for Rios-Provodnikov.

    But this will be a great action fight too.

    Can't find this confirmation anywhere.


    If Pacquaio has 40% left which I expect he has, then he stops Rios. Brandon had trouble with the movement of ALVARADO.

    Good matchup. Pac's career is on life-support having experienced almost three back-to-back losses, and so matching him up with a bitter Rios who's durability is second-to-none, will be a good parameter to see what Pac has left. It'll be an action-packed fight.

    Alvarado likely gets the winner. He'll fight at home, get a big crowd. Rios and Pac fight in Macau and the winner takes on Alvarado.

    Arum gets himself three nice in-house fights.

    Don't feel too sorry for Alvarado. It's not like he's being left completely out to dry. He'll likely be rewarded with a winnable opponent next -- to help recover from the back-to-back wars he's been having -- and still be in the mix for Bradley, JMM and the Pac-Rios winner. Bob Arum has to make the most out of these few WWs he has left. The last thing he'll do is keep one of them out of contention.
