Even Arum told yopu this was a cherry pick

I got a c-note on Rios at +400 I figured it was worth the flier

+400? is that where it's at right now? that's a good bet

That was what I was getting here but yea between +300-400 is what I have been seeing online.

Plus I know I will be able to get money on Rios probably 2 to 1 at the fight party.

Molinares was swinging for the fences with that overhand right

He hit Starling so hard, he didn't even know he'd been knocked down much less out cold.

That's got to be the most amazing and hilarious post fight interviews I ever saw.

On episode 1 of 24/7 he said he chose Rios because he was a come forward fighter and would make an exciting fight...lets look at the facts

Rios is 1-1 at 140 and lost to Alvarado who is a b class fighter...Rios is not even top 5 at 140 and has 0 fights at 147...Rios fights 1 style and can not adjust at all...just come forward and swing..this guy has 0 elite wins on his resume..has 0 noteworthy wins and is not good in any way possible..this is a **** fight period...the only reason i mention this is because all the **** posters hyping this are the same one who try to **** on all of Floyd fights even though he actually fights world champions coming off of good wins...This fight shoud be on ESPN if not NBC..Manny has not won a fight officially since 2011 and has not beaten a ww coming off of a win since 2009...Rios has not beaten anyone worth mentioning period...this is a **** fight and proves nothing

The spelling error in your title is making me cringe.

thats exactly why pacs fans are buying this fight -to see pac win a one sided beatdown. why cant they just admit it.

same thing can be said for mayweather fans son! he has no peers, can make easy work of anyone(thats what his fans say), so why do his fans not admit that they are paying for a one-sided fight?

Not worse than bloating up Marquez 12 pounds for his first fight at WW and then cheating him on the scales by an extra 2 pounds or draining the top name at 154 and making him fight 2 pounds under his usual weight. Or fighting Robert The Ghost Guerrero lol.

Pacquaio fought Marquez twice at 147 (getting KTFO the second time). He forced Cotto to lose two pounds to fight him (he originally asked Cotto to drop to 142, but Cotto refused). Now, he is fighting an undisciplined guy in Rios who lost his 135-pound championship on the scales and has a 1-1 record above 135; yet, you think Robert Guerrero is a bad fighter.

If ****** was against the law, you would be on death row.

So what if it's a cherry pick. Pac has "lost his last three fights" according to the same people who won't shut up about how bad this fight is. People must think highly of Pacquiao to be so expecting of his competition after 3 straight losses.

It will prove what Pac has left. At this point, that's the only question I care about and Rios is perfect for it.

this. pac just got knocked out unconscious in his last fight, he is coming off the longest layoff in his ENTIRE career, and he isn't getting any younger, and yet people expect him to fight the best available opponent??

this fight is obviously a tune up to see where pac is at (whether he can still take a punch and if he's gun shy or not, etc.)...it'll be an exciting fight to watch, but of course this isn't a legacy enhancing fight for pac (unless rios goes on to have an amazing career).

[KickAzz]

Are you being serious or are you mocking manny fans?

I'll assume the latter because you really can't be serious that no fighter ever comes back from getting KTFO.

Did RJJ come back from getting KTFO?

Yeah he fought again, but not at the elite level. You just don't comeback from getting KTFO

[littlemac]

What if Pacquiao gets put to sleep by another light weight
