Reason why Alvarado didn't get the Pacquiao fight

good lord what a brutal fight that would be...thank god for in-house fights? :lol1: CO-SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet peeps will b(i)tch about it

yea...let's not kid ourselves and pretend we have an ATG on our hands but as HBO likes to say, we DO have a new 'action fighter' to watch...as long as he's put in there with dudes that dont hold, every fight should be fun Without a doubt. I must say though, Ruslan has come a long way since his days on FNF..... He showed some decent head movement against Mike that I haven't saw him do before, I also like the adjustments he made and that little-step-to-the side to create an angle for the left hook was smart and he found some openings with that. Somodio did very well as well and I was impressed with his composure. Personally I want Rios-Provodnikov next..... We definitely have a new action fighter on the scene and that fight is so ridiculous I can't even begin to comprehend the type of action we would see. Honestly I would feel kind of bad for both fighters, someone would take a bad beating, but they're both warriors and wouldn't give a ****.

Not listening to no 3 hour mess...got ***** to do nahmean? The reason he screwed up the Pac fight is the same reason he screwed up the Malignaggi and Juan Diaz fight----the guy likes to smoke crack and thats a fact. Go talk to some people that actually know him. Alvarado smokes crack??

Mike didnt want none of the Pacman, Alvardo is intelligent enough to know his limits and to be frank I dont think he really wants to be that top guy he just wants to make some money and leave the sport intact. Alvarado missed those negations on purpose, he is afriad of the Pacman. So he ducked a past his prime Pacquiao, in a fight to make a considerable more amount of money, to fight Ruslan instead? I agree with everybody saying that Mike blew his chance, it's always been clear the guy loves to party and has no real dedication for such an unforgiving sport.

Bob Arum has the largest vagina in promotions. same thing can be said and even moreso with fishnet promotions! I find it funny that people praise gb for making great fights, that are in house, yet when tr does, they b(i)tch, even though if you look at tr's in house fights, you get - Rios v Alvarado - FOTY contender, Marquez v Pacquiao IV - FOTY, Bradley v Provodnikov - FOTY, Provodnikov v Alvarado - FOTY contender, Bradley v Marquez - decent fight, next up is Pacquiao v Rios - a high action fight and then probably, Rios v Provodnikov - potential FOTY contender. quit b(i)tchin and enjoy the show!

it was in Carson...a few hours from Palm Springs but close enough to be considered his backyard...and yea, that would be pretty cool if he just went into hometowns and fought...goes to Philly and fights Garcia, goes to Argentina and fights Lucas :lol1: Mexico to fight Marquez lol. I can really see Ruslan becoming very popular. He's on the big stage now and hardcore fans appreciate his style/toughness but going into Cali and Denver and other fighters backyards is going to get him a lot of casual fans too. He's no P4P but I think his popularity will skyrocket with a belt now and fighting guys like Rios or possibly Pac/JMM, etc

it's always fun when Denver loses That crowd was excellent and exactly what boxing needs. I was really suprised at the turnout and they really got behind their boy. Funny thought about Provodnikov though... Wasn't his fight with Bradley in Timmys hoometown too? If so, it would be pretty awesome if he just becomes like the ultimate road warrior and starts defending/fighting for belts in peoples hometown... Hardcore fans would show up because they know it'll be exciting and casuals would come to support their hometown fighter lol :boxing:

Feel real bad for Alvarado. He beat Rios and instead of getting a career payday (more then Ruslan fight) he lost his belt and took a beating in front of his hometown. Ugh

Hometown hero. One time champ. Self destructed in the face of success. I'm talking about Pavlik. I'm sure Alvarado has more functioning brain cells.Sure about that???? He has been in and out of jail, and one of those times I heard it was for stabbing a guy in an argument and who is to say Mike won't do worse things than Pavlik?

The winner of Rios/Alvarado I was supposed to fight Pac on 4/20. Rios knocked Alvarado out but Pac go brutally KO's so Rios didn't get his opportunity. So instead Rios gives Alvarado another shot and loses. Rios/Alvarado are tied 1-1. Neither guy deserves it any more over the other because they both have wins over each other.

no its because Rio is a punch bag with no chance of doing anything against Pacquiao seeing how mike did against ruslan yea mike would have put a beating on pac. good thing top rank cherry pick pillow fisted rios for pac instead.

Alvarado had an injury lol.

Alvarado may be one of those self destructive personalities. Even how the Ruslan fight ended was strange, there are just people out there that can't deal with success or take hold of opportunity. Hope he doesn't begin a downward spiral

And the real reason Mile "HIGH"MIke didn't get pacquaio is because Cocaine is a hell of a drug

The only other time I've seen a ref pull that was miguel cotto vs yuri foreman kinda Bs but at least now we don't have hear the early stoppage stuff

Pretty interesting. Kinda hard to believe he would skip a meeting for a multi million pay day but whatever. If true dude is spiraling down

Only a dumbass like you would believe that why he didn't fight; Tim Bradley has talked ***** about a lack of respect from Top Rank managment and he's getting the fights he wants. Rios having a more fan friendly style is why Mike didn't get the fight its that simple. no, you're flat out wrong, Mike's own management TOLD THIS to Vic (the guy on the phone in the video) this is a FACT, Mike fucked himself over by being a complete insensitive clown towards his own management and promoter are you defending what he did, and think he still deserved the pacquiao fight? **** outta here i'm still betting you haven't even watched the fucking video, you ass

no its because Rio is a punch bag with no chance of doing anything against Pacquiao edit; you're not the real phenom, you're just a clown like i thought Mike skipped out on all THREE negotiating meetings to make the pacquiao fight, and after he beat Rios he got into a LOT of trouble picking fights with fans in the lobby watch the video, i posted the time to skip forward to in the first post
