Even Arum told yopu this was a cherry pick

[mrlopez]

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

Sorry but your hate is down right stanky son! This is going to be a great fight. If you dont like it, dont watch, b-i-t-c-h, talk or post about it. The majority of fans, especially casual(which more often then not purchase the ppvs) like slugfests and seeing some one get ktfo.

Hopkins also said floyd was the greatest of his generation and a top 5 ATG. Did you agree with that? Didn't think so.

you have no idea what weight rios will rehydrate to yet you speculate 160. geez.

no you're not.Manny is the overwhelming favorite since they announced the fight. pac fans are just trying to make this more than it is so when pac wins they can pretend being surprised and act like the win was a huge win.

Hopkins is a Floyd fan, not so much a Pac fan. ATG ratings are a matter of opinion, no way to judge that against the reality. It's even more fluff than the p4p rankings of the day, since it's completely untestable. OTOH his Rios opinion is gonna get a reality check real soon.

I didn't speculate at all, just reported on his remarkable fight night weight when he fought Alvarado at JWW.

Please stop telling me how I feel about this fight. I do think it's very dangerous, and won't give Pac many p4p points if he wins, but I'll be greatly relieved.

Like I said, did you agree with BHop then? no. So its probably ok if I disagree with bhop on his opinion of the Rios/manny fight.

That was that fight, yu have no idea what it will be for this one.

Sorry, i find it hard to believe any pac fan genuinely thinks Rios is a dangerous opponent even with manny coming off a KO loss.

I hope you're right and Pac makes easy work of Rios. If his chin is gone, or he is gunshy he's gonna be in a lot of trouble. I thought it was reckless matchmaking from the beginning

TR matchmaker Goodman is in the HOF and is widely respected for his matchmaking prowess. There is no way his matchmaking is reckless.

yea, he knows how to put together a thrilling match-up, how to make his money

your problem is you probabley think he's scheming against pacquiaos opposition just feeding people to pacquiao

pacquiao has never beat marquez clearly, and got ko'd in the last fight
a 5th fight was team pacquiao's first choice coming back
the floyd stans(+rome) think bradley will outbox pacquiao if they ever rematch, and that was the second choice

pacquiao has been with TR for how long?
moving to 147, fighting hoya and cotto

pacquiao isn't his own boss like floyd is always proclaiming to everyone, saying he chooses who he fights and how he isn't looking to fight anyone tough, and is afraid for his health or.... you get the idea, it's a long list

No I don't think that at all.

he easily beat tim IMO. JMM/Tim didn't get the money they wanted so they went in another direction. Rios was chosen for business and professional reasons. I get it.

Manny is not a helpless peasant, he has input on who he fights.

a floyd fan complaining about a cherrypick...****ie, you my boy but please STFU

[IronDanHamza]

It's obviously not a legitimate win for Pacquaio.

It's a comeback fight.

He's coming off a brutal KO so it's understandable and even then it is still a little dangerous for a comback fight because Rios can punch.

[brick wall]

weird...people who don't buy pac's ppv fights are the ones complaining
