Is Arum cashing out with Rios?

[RingGeneralship]

I think Bob realizes Brandon isn't going to get any better and that he's a one trick pony who is coming off a lost but still has gullible fans who like his style. The fight makes sense on that alone , I mean honestly its a win win for that scum Arum because u get one last big fight out of Rios and keep manny relevant or one last money fight for manny and trick casual fans into thinking wow this rios guy. But it will more than likely be the former than the latter because someone explain how this fight will be different than Margarito with manny just destroying rios , so I believe bob is just cashing out with rios.

obviously he's putting Rios in a no-win fight, but he'll still have the Alvarado trilogy fight (Mike will win that fight even more convincingly than the rematch)

feel bad for brandon but he'll make some money at least, i feel even worse for Mike

No Rios is going to be the next Gatti

[King Jaffe Joffer]

Yes, he is.. Rios is the next Vargas.. Without the boxing skills. He will be completely ruined by Pacman.. Alvarado is gonna stop him.

Arum wins both ways if pac loses arum makes a new cash king if pac wins the. Pacquiao is back in the mix. Arums an ******* but he is smart.

this fight is not worth the PPV...

I don't think you can call it cashing out. I think Arum realizes Rios will be a draw whether he is winning or losing. He is on his way to being a Gatti/Judah type gatekeeper. He will always have entertaining fights due to his style but will never be considered one of the top guys out there.
The days of gift decisions from Daddy Arum are over however...

There's not any other guys I know of in top rank, Rios can deal with. Might as well go out with a boom. Rios should have been thrown in there with Matthysse, Broner and Garcia, but he chose to be apart of a promotional company with a very weak future in store for him.
