Dan Rafael is reporting Pacquiao-Rios is good to go on November 24th!

[Weebler I]

why doesnt pac fight Ruslan since they dont care rios is coming off a loss? why are they ruling that out so early

Pacquiao spars with Provodnikov. I think that's another cruel fight. At least Alvarado can move.

Glen Johnson looked liked an easy comeback for Roy Jones too.

Ruslan is trained by Freddie Roach.

[Grimgash]

People are still holding Manny to a #1 pound for pound standard even after coming after a brutal KO. It's not his fault he's popular.

This fight would be acceptable for any fighter trying to make a comeback. It's not a title fight or an MGM megafight.


I don't see the issue.

The only issue is its a fighter who's lost 2 of his last 3 vs a fighter who lost his last fight and is moving up in weight. Why is that an issue? That's because it's on PPV. There are no titles, both coming off losses, one guy at a new weight class, and Rios is not an elite. If it was purely a boxing after dark fight it'd get less complaining because it is what it is, a make sure pac isn't shot fight.

Other than Ruslan, you do realize all these welterweight fighter's are Golden Boy right?

And whos stopping that from happing , I know GB would put any number of WW against Manny , its strange you except Bob Arum feeding you any mismatch he feels like while ducking any fighter he likes all based on its with another promoter , Wtf has boxing come to .

This is a give Manny a KO win thats all it is , Top Rank has not pride at all .

Manny is the only one to test Abril not Mayweather like they said yesty , talk about talk is cheap lol .

Did someone refer to Rios as a Bum? Really? Why not follow tennis or bowling something that doesn't take any heart & brains to follow!
Rios comes to the ring with everything he has if you think its not enough thats fine but you need to "learn" what bum means in boxing!
A "BUM" is someone who has talent but doesn't use it! A "Bum" is someone who would rather sneak in the backdoor rather than kick in the front door? A "Bum" is a jerk on the net who talks **** about a pro fighter as if he could whip his azz calling him a bum!
Learn the terminology used in boxing you can't make up your own it makes you and even bigger fool!

Rios vs Manny is a tuff fight for both men! Boith are at crossroads physically & mentally and when both of those concerns are involoved theres alot of work to be done to get ready to fight!
Neither one is looking at an easy "tune up" I believe Manny has the majority of the edges in his corner but when an older fighter comes off a KO that left him unconscience theres serious hurdles to get over and a thorough look deep inside is always a topic of concern.
Rios won't have to be concenered with BS press conferences and can get right to work in the gym. If the reported bout is on they both have plenty of time to get ready and be ready!!! I like it!! Ray

It's going to be a WAR!

The Pacmonster returns.

Can't wait to see how Pacquiao looks and reacts to Rios' punches.

If Pacman can't beat Rios it's time to call it quits.

[Da Hammer]

I'm actually glad Alvarado isn't getting a shot at Manny. Mostly because win/or lose (most likely loss) a Pacquiao fight would be a war and probably shorten his career. He would take a ton of punishment. Payday would have been well earned for him though. And for that part I do feel bad for Alvarado.

Is it a PPV fight? How will that work with the time difference?

Regardless that's not Pacquiao's fault .....that's the fans who buy these types of fights fault.

So Alvarado got screwed...? Great.
