Bob Arum: Ruslan is waiting for Pac/Rios winner

[Hougigo]

But the understudy has a close relationship with Roach and Pacquiao. It could still happen but it would be awkward.

I guess, I'm sure Arum would exploit this somehow into the promotion.
Former sparring partner, best friends...... the guy who softened up Pac for Marquez

[The Big Dunn]

Ruslan and his promoter want Marquez, not Pacquiao.

It's Bob who wants Pacquiao v Provodnikov.

If manny wins that would be the next logical fight. Then the winner gets tim again.

This is why I'm really confused as to why this is even being talked about much. And I was pretty sure Ruslan had no interest in fighting his friend and Roach.

Bob Arum made a deal with the devil man

[The Gambler1981]

It is promoter talk that has no downside, it is a fight between exciting guys if he can make it happen. If not he associated Manny's name with Ruslan helping to build his name.

If it happens Arum is cool with that and if not Arum can deal with that also.

Why is bob arum arum already lining fights up. Let PAC dictate his own fights.

I wonder how long before a ban....

[TheRegulator]

I doubt Ruslan will fight Manny because they're both under Roach. idk if Ruslan's official trainer is Roach but Pac would take the W no doubt. The brawling tactics for Ruslan leaves Pac to capitalize on every mistake, Ruslan would just eat too much leather.

[MexicanMauler]

Oh man! Imagine the pressure of knowing that your reward for winning the fight fighting Ruslan.
