Brandon Rios has already said Arum promised him the winner. Marquez will be retiring after this fight so he will not fight him.
If Pacquiao loses, he'll face the human punching bag in Brandon Rios and after he beats him down everyone will say "hes's back".
so what were Hatton and Marquez when you paid to watch them fight Floyd?

I did not pay for those fights. Just like I won't pay for Pacquiao vs Rios.
And also atlest Marquez was ranked 2 or 3 on the P4P list, Rios is like number 17 on all P4P list I believe??

u do realize that hatton had previously won a belt at ww, he was a p4p fighter if im not mistaken, he was undefeated and he was the lineal/ring champ at 140, a division rite under Floyd. yea, lets compare him to Brandon ****ing rios.

Yes I agree, but atlest him and Floyd have something in common as far as the fight goes.....but what does Manny and Rios have in common????
Mayweather could even argue that Robert is a TOP WW, in which he is, across all avenues...but Pacquiao can't even argue that Rios is a top 147 fighter, because he's not even a WW.

Can someone answer this question for me....
What has Brandon Rios done to deserve a Pacquiao fight??
And don't bring up Floyd Vs Robert, because although that is not a interesting or hard fight for Floyd, there is ONE thing that Robert has done to deserve a fight with Floyd, and that's he's his mandatory.
But Rios has a steeper hill to climb, he is not 147, has not had 1 fight at 147. And Pac is yet to be a champ so he is not Pacquiao's mandatory.
The only thing Pac and Rios have in common is what???? TopRank.

Margarito was a has been when Pacquiao faced him but Rios is a never will be. At best he might become a decent champ but not much else. But that's all speculation. Given their respective statures today, it's a pretty crappy fight and when people talk about how exciting it would be, I can only assume that they mean they want to see Pacquiao completely dominate someone and cap it off with a stoppage that occurs within five rounds. If you're a Pacquiao fan you bust a nut at the thought of that. If you want to see something more competitve, the thought of this matchup disgusts you.
Marg wasn't done yet, he was done after Pac gave him a facelift. Rios being young and fresh don't mean ****, he doesn't have Marg's reach or workrate and Marg's overall skillset as a brawler in terms of punch placement. How would Rios get in Pac's ass? By coming forward and eating punches? By the time he's ready to retaliate he'd be hitting nothing but air. Kid would get destroyed in 5-6 rounds tops. There's nothing that Rios does better than even a post-prime Margarito, nothing. And he'd be smaller than Pac to boot. Massacre.
hoe is this even arguable? pac wouldn't even need his legs vs a guy who literally walks into everything. everything, pac vs rios is = meteor vs dinosaurs. Massacre
It would be some sort of divine justice if Rios came out of the Pac fight with so much brain damage that he develops Parkinson's disease.
Karma can definitely be a *****.
That's all there is to it when it comes to people defending Pacquiao vs a punching bag. Calling it a fun fight.
Not a great fight, not an evenly matched fight, not a dangerous fight. It's always a fun fight when Pacquiao fights a B class opponent.
As the resident expert on punching bags, I agree.
Oh, I'll deny it.
That version of Marg was done, and Pac was much better than he is now.
Pac sliding; facing a young, fresh fighter who will get in that ass, who unlike Martarito will not make Pac look like a defensive wizard.
You don't want to see that fight?
Fine. Do me a favour, stick to your guns and don't watch it.

You know who these two fighters struggle against? Boxers with movement and angles. You know who they excel against? Fighters who will engage.
This fight will be a barnburner.
nobody is saying pac vs rios is a great legacy defining fight for pac (maybe for rios) but to say it wont be fun is just straight stupid.
i wonder if some of these clowns acting all high and mighty would have a problem with past all time greats fighting boxers with 15-20 losses on a regular basis like they did during the "golden" age of boxing.
fake ass dumb a**holes.
Marg was shot to pieces when Pac fought him, I never once legitimised that fight or even enjoyed it. It had boring written all over it, and that's how it played out.
Rios is young, hungry and will land back on Pac. Size isn't an issue cos Rios boils down big-time and Manny doesn't go past 150 when in the ring.
If you can't see the difference between a Rios fight and a Margarito fight, then that's on you.
The version of Marg that Pac fought > any version of Rios. Try and deny it.
Yes size won't be an issue, that's the problem. If a bigger and better brawler like Marg couldn't do much against Pac, what would happen to Rios who doesn't even have the size advantage?
No that's not on me, it's on you to explain how a smaller and lesser skilled brawler would do better.
anybody who thinks pac vs rios wont be a fun fight is a hateful moron.
Sad part is they're too bashful to call out their idol Mayweather. The guy who everyone says will beat Pacman. They don't want to hurt his feelings.
