Why do people think it will be hard to make Matthysee vs Rios/Pacquiao?

Why should GBP do that. Go ask Bob Arum to take some step aside money and see what happens GBP doesn't have to do anything like that. They were willing to do it for Marquez and seeing how they would have lost out on millions of dollars, I doubt it would be a problem with Matthyse and the chump change he makes. This isnt an uncommon practice on boxing, and happens from time to time.

if you can fukin Make Vanes vs Lara you can make Matthysse vs Rios! Let Top Rank and GBP Bid for it like that did the Vanes vs Lara fight!

I can see a scenario in which Top Rank pays GBP set aside money, gives Matthyssee a 400-500k payday, and promotes the fight solo in order to make Rios vs Matthysse or Pacquiao vs Matthysse. Why should GBP do that. Go ask Bob Arum to take some step aside money and see what happens GBP doesn't have to do anything like that.

Yeah, Pacquiao could fight whoever he wants even if they're with golden boy. It's everyone's dream to fight Pacquiao and I doubt Oscar would be such a dickhead that he would deprive one his fighters from fighting Pac over a stupid fued. With the lesser known fighters is more complicated though.

The only way Matthysse vs. Rios happens is if Matthysse beats Garcia, gets the WBC title and Rios becomes the mandatory. That way the fight would go to purse bid and GBP and Top Rank wouldn't have to work with each other.

Arum isnt leting Rios anywhere near Lucas. Rios makes hime money and Matthysse will beat him and doesnt make alot of money anyways. Rios Matthysse is bad business for Arum long term. He doesnt care about good fights just making money.

It makes more business sense than Pac vs Clottey/Margarito... Margarito was considered the plaster man and hadn't won a significant bout in several years. Clottey has never had a fan base whatsoever and was coming off a loss if I'm not mistaken. Pac vs Mathysse beats a lot of things that I've seen Top Rank do in the last few years. Arum kept 100% of the revenue and was lead promoter in making Pac/Clottey and Pac/Margarito. If he makes Pac vs. Matthysse, he would have to pay GBP a go away fee or co-promote the event and share the revenue. Why do that when he can make Pac/Rios, which will do better numbers than Pac/Matthysse, and still allow him to be lead promoter and keep all revenues in-house? And on top of that, it's a high risk fight. If Matthysse wins, Arum's cash cow takes and L and he receives no benefit of Matthysse's future success. Its like Matthysse would have Pacquiao's name to launch his career but Arum won't benefit from it. The only way Arum will work with GBP if there is an incentive for him to do it.

Matthysse is a popular fighter on here, but lets be real. Why would Arum throw Rios or even Pacquiao into a high risk/zero reward fight when he can just skip the risk and make an in-house fight that will appeal to a huge audience, do big numbers and give Rios the highest payday of his career? Matthysse vs. Rios/Pacquiao makes no business sense whatsoever from Top Rank's perspective. Pacquiao vs. Rios does bigger numbers than Matthysse vs. either and Arum wins either way. The only non-inhouse fights that makes sense for Arum are Mayweather or Cotto vs. Pacquiao. The lack of incentive for Arum to make these fights will make them extremely difficult to make.

good fights, but they wont make them happen. its about how much money they can make not how good the fights are now adays, what you saw yesterday (rios/alvarado) was something rare. Yeah but do you realize how little Matthyssee actually makes for his fights? I doubt Rios makes much either, and that means there wouldn't be huge purse but big ratings for those fights.

Starting to think Rios vs Alvarado was set into motion long ago to set up Pac/Rios in April.... wouldn't be surprised now if it happens Pac-Rios would only not happen if Pac loses to JMM, Even if he loses am sure Pac would still fight Rios in 2013..

Easier said than Done, If only it was that easy; I'd like to see Rios vs Danny Garcia IF he beats Morales!
