Comments Thread For: Arum Discusses Why Alvarado Missed Out on Pacquiao

[LilCzar]

Don't Matter

It really doesn't matter if Pac fights Alvarado now or after Rios. TR can only make fights with Pac, Rios, Alvarado, Marquez and Bradley. Eventually they'll all fight each other anyway because there no other options.

Pac better take Rios seriously, if not he will get put to sleep again.

Because Rios makes for a better clash of styles in terms of excitement and the fight being winnable for Manny///////////////////////

Even when it makes sense and it sounds believable, Arum is such a lying scumbag that we can't go with what he says most of the time. Even if it sounds good.

damn I wish I could hit you with the green...PERFECTLY said man!!! LOL

This was a Team Pac decision. Nothing to do with Alvarado injury. Kind of ****** to think Pac is ducking Alvarado. Rios is the type of practice target he needs to gain confidence. Alvarado will move more and that is not what they want right now.

good post green k sent

if it was any other fighter i would agree ! but manny is special, what better way to come back than against a top notch opponent ! bernard hopkins said how risky this fight is and hes an all time great! unlike what mayweather did by comming back against a light touch like the ghost , manny decided to go balls to the wall and fight a animal

You love mentioning Floyd's name where it shouldn't. What does he have to do with Manny vs Rios. You sound like a cheerleader.

Alvarado just lost his lottery ticket...

Lmao!!! ******est comment I heard in a while .. Pacman is way more than a brawler , he still has the ko power , trust me nobody would want to trade with him .. Alvarado and Rios doesn't even matter is going to get annihilated .. Alvarado would outbox him lmao!! That had me dieing .. Good one lol

Not saying that Rios or Alvarado can beat Manny but them dudes can **** and Manny has been ****** up in fights before so there is a good chance if he is not fully there after the Marquez KO that he could have a long night. Manny is the favorite of course but coming back after brutal KO in a lil less than a year lay off could have a negative affect on him. I'm curious to see him back in the ring.

you want to know why i mentioned floyd ?!! well ill tell you why !! because floyd and manny are the 2 kings of welter weight right now ! and both have had a long layoff inbetween fights , but when floyd came back he choose a light touch in guerro ! but manny on the oher hand choose a dangerouse , heavy hitting lion ! mannys fight is a guaranteed action packed firework filled extravaganza !!! but as we all saw last week maywether fght was a snoozefest ! and me calling it a snoozefest isnt because im a hater that was the general concensus from the people that was actually in the stadium that night ! thats why they started booing as early as the 2nd round! and i bet anything that mannys fight wont be a disappointing bomb that sells 700k like maywether

Ummmm..... hate to break it to you but Floyd and Marquez are the two top WW's according to just about every boxing list. Manny dropped down. Also, Guerrero proved himself at WW and Rios didn't. Actually Rios lost his last fight and Guerrero won 2 at WW. Also, not totally sold on Guerrero but he is better technically than Rios. So you are wrong.

Hrrrrrrgggg I totally read that in Hulk Hogan's voice.


Anyways, pointless Floyd hating aside, I read on ESPN on Dan Rafael's blog that PPV tickets are going to be super cheap - for the Chinese anyway. Us US guys gotta pay the full price.

"The fighters will hold news conferences in New York and Los Angeles to promote the fight, although they are not yet scheduled, and they will also go on a five-city publicity tour in China, where the fight will be the country's first major pay-per-view, for a cost of what is equal to about $4 or $5 in the U.S., Arum said."

First world problems man.
