His wife and trainer don't give a **** about him. If Robert Garcia cared anything about him he would have either advised him to retire or stop working his corner. Being that he's in dire need of money he will probably continue to get his brains beat in. I couldn’t even watch the whole fight against Sotto. It was just sad to watch. Someone needs to stop Rios from ever boxing again. Give him another 5yrs and we for sure won’t understand wtf he is saying. We've seen this scenario one too many times in boxing. SMH
Ok I googled reported purses for Rios. Note that fighters usually make more than their reported purses. Just the easy ones. He made 3 mill for Pacquiao. He made $800k for Bradley. He made $925k for Diego fing Chaves. $850k for Alvarado 3, $1.25mill for Alvarado 2. All up in his Top rank fights he probably made more than $10million. But keep telling yourself he is poor coz Bob spent all his money.
thats some good money
but hes going to lose at least half of that to taxes and fees
5 mil is alot of money but its also not alot of money anymore...especially if you have a family and you dont know another way of making money
take for example a 2nd round pick in the NFL(keep in mind most of the NFL is made up guys taken in 2nd round OR LATER).....on average these guys sign a 4 year deal worth about 1.3 mil a year with a little signing bonus
pay about 40 percent in income tax...hire a lawyer...an agent fee....other expenses
now buy your mama a new car and house...buy yourself a nice vehicle and a home....then what you have? not alot of money...and you arent guaranteed another contract...alot of those guys find themselves out of the league by then
5 million doesnt go as far as it used to
He's made millions of dollars in purses over his career. If he is broke, it is on him and I won't have sleepless nights about it.
this is just about how i feel. i won't lose sleep if the guy went broke on his own. but life changes and a thug changes, who knows how much has changed from all of the head trauma he took. i loved watching him fight in part because of the whoopins he took even when he won. i'll still have a soft spot for him because of that. i remember that vapid look on his face when danny nailed him. that's some straight up brain damage.
What else is new? All fighters end up broke. That's why Manny Pac is still fighting. It's the reason why Money May keeps on fighting because he is no longer liquid; Since he is not an active fighter anymore. Now he's seeking his third fight since retiring back in 2015.
on another note, people is always quick to call a fighter broke just because they continue to keep on fighting. i dont think rios is broke. he's not shiieting out gold either, but broke? i dont see it.

He has an estimated net worth of 400 thousand bucks and that includes his home and car. He isn't broke but unless he has another source of money he will probably need to fight again to live well with his family. Garcia should give him a job so he won't need to keep fighting. He is better off than Tommy Hearns who is only worth 50 thousand after earning millions. Holyfield earned enough for a normal person to be rich for many lifetimes and is now worth 500 thousand. Too many high paid boxers never save any money for retirement.
Read again. I said that’s what happens when you spend most of your career at Top Rank. Keyword: Most Ok I googled reported purses for Rios.

Why are people so obsessed with fighters finances these days? I just like watching two gladiators beating the **** out of each other I don't give two ****s about their money. I swear boxers are turning into overpaid divas like footballers.
I really doubt this story, Rios is known to invest his money wisely, he also doesn’t spend lavishly, he does have cars as his toys but he keeps his monies well. I don’t believe this at all.
This is funny because Ive heard the opposite that rios has made wise investments and he lives way below his means.
Yeah I remember Pac Rios 24/7.
He had a nice house but nothing crazy. I don't think he's broke.
Because I said so deal with it crybaby. That criminal Arum should of been banned from boxing a long time ago. Of course he went to Al Haymon that’s what they all do when they leave the thief criminal Arum. good so you admit you have nothing. you prove once again you don't know what you are talking about. 100% pure ignorance you are
Lmao at, “I’m remember”.
Get an education you illiterate bum. That is what doesn’t make sense. Maybe you should proofread before making yourself look even dumber. I guess you don't make mistakes lol you prick still haven't answered my question
you have no point you respond with trivial bs. answer the question how is Top rank responsible for rios being broke? he left and went with gaymon

Get your rep up before you respond to me, you irrelevant bum. you have no point you respond with trivial bs. answer the question how is Top rank responsible for rios being broke? he left and went with gaymon
I'm remember when rios lost to feather fisted bradley by stoppage he swore he'd never train rios again and told him to retire. robert garcia doesn't give a crap about his fighters he let pacquiao beat margarito to near death costing him his eye.
