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

[GRUSTLER]

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.

Ha ha ha! He was going in.

I'd rather see Rios/Alvarado 3 than this garbage. On a side note, PAC isn't ducking anyone. The last two guys that beat him declined a rematch and Rios is a bigger draw than Alvarado. But it's still a garbage one-sided fight.

Wow rios vs pac an they still got floyds name in there mouths!
Floyd comin off ANOTHER win pound for pound king holdin belts in two weight classes no losses pacman not even top three in pound for pound rankings comin off a k.o i felt sittin at my hous against the same man floyed whooped!GET OFF HIS D**K ALREADY!!!

The decision went like this. "Which of these two fight the flat footed, come forward with my chin up style that Pac looks like Jesus Christ himself against? Which one will bring in more of the Mexican fan base? Rios? Ok, cool. Make that **** happen." The only question I have is does Pac keep him down for the full 10 count or does he stop him on cuts? Rios just shortened his career a lot.

Cause Alvarado move better than Rios but who cares Manny picked a 140 pounder anyway you look at it, it's cherry picking season.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Rios, Alvarado who cares. Neither is a cherrypick. Pacman got destroyed for heavens sake. What's he supposed to do, jump out of the pot and into the fire??

I mean yeas Alvarado won the fight. But the fight was very close. It's not like Rios looked like hot garbage or got dominated. People are really paying too much attention to that mark in the "L" column this time.

I totally agree with this...I actually believe this to be a solid fight,one that could give us some real fireworks..I really don't know why there is any complaining..

[Rome-By-Ko]

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.

Rios would punish Guerrero at any weight..

[rogdogx]

Pac never ducked or dodged anyone. He fought Margarito, Cotto, ODLH, and Bradley. ODLH was washed up but still had the huge perceived weight advantage. Cotto fight was his real defining moment at the top cuz that was an even fight going in. Margarito was big and relentless. Pac definitely deserved the P4P love he recieved before the losses and he will definitely be looking to get back to the top. Bam Bam better be ready to roll.

Silly old senile fool spouting utter rubbish.

Alvarado's manager said the same thing about the injured hand.

Mike got a very gud way out to save his career in boxing.
