Brandon Rios explains boxing business

fawking ellie sechback calling provodnikov scared. the fvck is this idiot on? the dude is a beast and would fight anyone. somebody should jump this dude. I appreciate Eli and his videos, but he bites the hand that feeds him way too often. He's in tight with Robert Garcia, but he's also stepped on Brandon Rios toes before, and wasn't welcome. Something happened that changed that, then he has the situation with Freddie Roach. Eli should be smarter and not burn so many bridges. He should also educate himself about the sport as well.

And people always wonder what Haymon does lol Al Haymon didn't make this happen !!! What is your real problem with Al Haymon+??

It's amazing how fans continue to say dumb sh1t. It's like the years of "Mayweather is scared of Pac" BS. You don't think if Mayweather and Pac were both Top Rank fighters, that fight would have already happened a long time ago. Oh, you mean like the Margarito Mayweather fight happened when both were with Top Rank? Like that?

Its funny how Ellie was trying to discredit Provo like that to get Rios's acknowledgement, but then Rios just shuts him up by completely disagreeing with him and calling Provo a warrior. Ellie really does try to suck up to everyone in the Garcia camp.

rios would know how to speak properly and not drop f bombs every sentence if he knew business. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

If you were a top prospect would you respect a guy who holds you career in his hands if he let you dictate and tell him how he should do his job... There is no "Boss" between manager and fighter, its a partnership. You're missing my point. If a fighter really wants to fight fighter B than he gives the green light to his manager to make the fight, doesn't mean opponet A's manager is going to agree to make the fight, unless manager A's fighter says to make the fight. A manager is always supposed to look out for the best interest in his fighter and not his own percentage. If i was a fighter and my manager was getting me paid well and i was winning, i'd have no problems in how he's doing his job. But, If i get baited into fighting fighter B by all his fans and the fighter than, i talk with my manager and tell him i want him to make the fight. Sure he'll tell me the pro's and con's and how much money he is making for me by chosing who i fight, but i want a challenge. Whether he changes my mind or i still go after opponet B will be up to him to change my mind, other wise, when i want to call the shots, i call the shots.

Top Rank and Top Rank ... Lol I think you missed his point. they were all under the same promotional company thats when froids va-gina started to flap extra and paid his way out of fighting threats

And who pays the manager? The fighter. Who is the boss? The fighter. The manager looks out for the fighter, protects him and is suppose to get him as much money as he can get for him without matching him in a tough fight. Thats a managers job! But!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........ .............The boss(the fighter) can always say make the fight regardless of the managers opinion. Thats a fact! But, if you have a good manager and he getting you paid well for lesser fighters, than i too would allow the manager to do his job. I get to have a longer career and my bank account grows. The manager is there cause he supposed to know the ins and outs but to say the manager calls the shots against what the fighter says, i don't belive that.

just like he stepped in the ring with margorito and prime cotto ...... nah man froids is a straight f/ducking b1tch Top Rank and Top Rank ... Lol I think you missed his point.

well , there have been fighters, ATG's even that viewed floyd as being scared of pac .. it's true being scared is not always a reason why fghter A is not fighting fighter b but in some cases like floyd to pac and others , thats exactly whats going on... fighters dont have a STANDARD set of balls....

So most of you dumb ass fans will stop saying things like "_______ is scared of fighting ________" Rios at 2:10 explains it perfectly, something I been saying here for a long time. In boxing, unless you are a huge mega star like Pac, Mayweather or JMM, you don't get to choose and pick who you want to fight. Most of the time, your manager, MANAGES your career. Imagine that, a manager, managing. Rios is a real warrior, he gives Provodnikov his respect. Just because a fighter can't pick and choose who he wants to fight doesn't mean he can't turn down a fight that is offered to him. You don't honestly believe a manager throws whoever he wants in front of his fighter without consulting him, do you?

Rios should be talking about punching bags instead of this.

Who the hell takes what Rios says seriously? I don't even think he knows what he's saying half of the time. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Seckbach the snake trying to stir drama and drag Rios with him. Good to see Rios gave him a clear lesson on that topic.

Ellie set him up and Rios could've ran with it if he wanted, most guys would've. Respect to Rios for keeping it real.
