    The question should be"who isn't excited for it?" Pacquiao is very likely to have slipped even further away from his old self after being ko'd. As limited as Rios may be, there's no denying the fact that he's tough, accurate, and has power in every punch he throws. He's definitely a live dog in this one.

      Rios is terrible. A punching bag for pacquaio. If he cant look good vs rios it might be time to hang it up

        I'm intrigued about the factors going into this fight. It should be action packed as long as it goes.

        The records don't dictate PPV status, Pacquiao's ability to sell does.

            It's a nice action fight. What's not to like about that aspect? Rios can punch and can take a punch and he's never been down. Lets see if Pacman still has it and can stop him.

              yes. it should be a great crossroads type fight between two aggressors with power. pacquiao moves in and out, and rios never takes a step back.


              i just don't like to have to pay 70 bucks for it, but it's manny pacquiao. unless he slips a ton and he fights forever his fights will be on ppv until his retirement.

                Shouldnt be PPV though, even DLH had his fights off of PPV when he was coming off of losses.

                But yes, I'm excited I always love seeing what happens when stars come off of losses.

                    I think both are good fights,but as far as the meaningfulness of each fight Marquez Bradley is better..Not to mention it's a far more even match..

                      i was gonna say meaningful as well, but rios could end pac's career, which is probably more meaningful than whatever other fight outcome. but meaningful for the current rankings, yes. and i could see either fight being more competitive fight night, you can never tell. i didn't think washed up casa would be competitive with jmm, and prov was gonna get stopped on facial damage after s shutout to timmy
