    The Floyd fanboys are very very irritating. I wish people could just appreciate Floyd and Manny. Instead of this bull**** over every thread related to them.

    Alvarado earned a shot because when you fight Pac you get a big payday. Titles aren't what he's concerned about, money is.

    2 guys coming off losses to be on the PPV. I swear only Manny could get away with this. His fans are disgusting.

    He's been with Don King. I'm pretty sure that's still the case. Plus, he has a fight coming up and a looming matchup with Kell Brook that HBO still wants.

    Arum can set up Rios/Pac and not have to worry about anything.

    I'm neither a ******* or ***** and can see the entertainment value in this matchup, plus Pac's name recognition will clearly drive PPV sales.

    These two guys, even coming off losses, will provide much more action than we saw in Floyd's main event. Floyd will always be the more polished fighter, but Pac will always provide the casual fan with more excitement.

    I provide exciting fights with my brother but that doesn't mean it should be PPV. Floyd was fighting for a championship

    **** it the more I think about it the more i'm interested. I feel bad for Rios though he went two 2 wars with Alvarado and is going to get crushed by Pac.

    You don't have any name recognition. Read my complete statement. Manny is still one of the best, if not the best, known name in all of boxing.

    Well known guy who provides entertainment + lesser known guy who is entertaining = PPV.

    It's market forces. People want to be entertained and will pay for it. There's no such thing as earning a PPV shot. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to buy it. I pass on quite a few PPVs.

    Wlad was also fighting for a championship, but championships don't bring entertainment value by themselves.

    Yeah well I only pay for match ups of relevance so this bad boy is a streaming affair. That bum Shiming will probably be on the undercard too :lol: :verysad

    Because Floyd schooling a C- fighter was of relevance.
