    Who wouldn't watch a Pacquiao fight if you call yourself a boxing fan?

      Because Pac-Rios is two fights coming off loses...one two in a row and its 70$. Rios is moving to a new weight class as well. That's the hang-up.

        It's not about W/L. It's about who draws.

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

          he fought stevie forbes off of ppv, but that was a complete tune up. rios is at least in his prime and a world class fighter. it's not a tune up. i'd have to check the boxrec to determine which oscar fight was off ppv prior to the forbes fight. it was a while back, for sure. prior to vargas i'd guess.

            rios has been down before.

            his chin is still iron. one of the best in boxing.

              i honestly think garcia will throw in the towel before pacq kos rios! he'll want to preserve rios carreer. regardless pacq wins comfortably.

                  Delahoya was off of PPV vs Gatti, Coley, Rivera, Carr, Forbes, Gonzales I'm sure.
