Even Arum told yopu this was a cherry pick

Yeah, one got outboxed in a competitive fight and ONE IS COMING OFF A KTFO LOSS. But a loss is a loss I guess?

so you wanna pay to watch two fighters coming off loss?

I am but i dont want to and would prefer to pay for winners

No, manny made a mistake when he dropped his hands pressing for the KO when JMM was clearly hurt. In the 1st fight Manny had JMM down 3 times in rd 1, he couldn't finish him. You can't blame these on the matchmaker. If anything it proves the matchmaking was sound.

Manny got robbed. He won fight easily vs tim IMO.

Maybe they shouldn't have matched him against that guy that's so troublesome for him 3 times, then one little mistake and he's asleep. Should have gone for someone like Guerrero with little to offer. Or Khan, whose glass chin would make him la lesser threat So clearly TR matchmakers sometimes fall asleep.

For a comeback fight off a KO like that, rule #1 is pick a guy with no power, not a hard punching, iron chinned, relentless bruiser much bigger than your guy. Breaks every rule

Yeah it's rare the A-side guy gets robbed. Not sure it was a TR inside job, just a possibility that they thought his time was up.

do you think the fight might be entertaining?

I doubt it. Unless Pacquaio has declined greatly.

Otherwise it's just going to be one sided beatdown.

I hope so. I dont think much of Rios and i have said many times this is a double edged sword fight for pac. He wins he beat a low ranked jr WW who has never fought at 147 and is coming off loss and if He loses hes done

But i do hope its fun. Awful undercard adn two fighters off loss and PPV is my main problem with this fight. If it was just HBO than im all in

[The Big Dunn]

I guess nobody remembers that pac is coming off a KTFO loss

yeah he is. he's also -$450 and a 4-1 favorite. this fight, on paper, is a blowout. if you don't like watching blowouts on paper-be consistent.

Pac is coming off a KTFO loss... You don't come back from those. Watch RJJ vs Johnson. So for you, it should be entertaining

my kind of entertainment

From a neutral standpoint, I wouldn't find a one sided beating to be "entertaining" per say whether it's Mayweather-Guererro or Pacquaio-Margarito, for example. Neither were entertaining fights IMO.

If Pacquaio's declined then it could be entertaining but I doubt he's declined enough to let Rios be competitive with him.

I doubt it. Unless Pacquaio has declined greatly.

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