      Just like ward-gatti, vasquez-marquez, holyfield bowe, and pretty much every mayorga ppv fight (tito, oscar, vargas, mosely, cotto)
      ward/Gatti wasnt PPV...hell Morales/Barrera wasnt PPV

          I was opposed to Rios as a comeback fight because experience tells me after a knockout loss you start easy, and don't jump into a fight with a dangerous opponent. Remember Roy Jones Jr. returning from the knockout loss to Tarver jumping in with Glen Johnson? It was a fight he could of and would of won normally had he not have been coming off a knockout loss. It was a mistake he could not take back.

            I would say yes,I also believe this fight is dangerous when you factor in the unknown about Pac..

                This would be a good fight even if he brutally KO'ed marquez.

                So stop *****ing.

                  It is a good comeback fight. I've said it before, it does nothing for him but make sure he's still able to fight. Manny should decimate Rios with ease, anything less and there'll be talk of a need to retire by many.

                    Call it a confidence booster or whatever, but for someone who lost his last couple of fights and BRUTALLY KNOCKED OUT on his last fight, I don't see why someone can hate on a Pac vs. Rios fight.

                    So I want to know who here thinks this is a good comeback fight for Pac.
                    Replied to thread first, but as for why people hate on it.... it's a PPV showdown, between Manny lost last 2....Rios lost last one. That's why it gets most of it's hate tbh. Like I said Rios "should" be greatly overmatched and easily dispatched.

                      yes it is...rios fight will show us just how much pac has left in him after that devastating KO loss. even though rios' style is tailor made for pac we don't know if we'll be seeing the same old pac who could take a punch and deliver 5 back.
