I don't think you understand what you are talking about. The article does not refer to the level of opponent, but to Roach stating that Pacquiao is fighting nothing more than a journeyman on a 60 dollar pay-per-view. Mayweather knows how to sell his opponents and his cards, whereas Roach always plays down their opposition to the point where you wonder "why should I spend 60 dollars to watch Pacquiao stop a journeyman in four rounds."
With Mayweather we had a decent undercard to both shows so even though Floyd was a heavy, heavy favorite people bought the PPV for the overall event. This undercard for this show is horrific. I can't even believe Verdejo, Shiming, Ruiz facing stiffs is part of the card with so many other fighters under Top Rank's stable who could have been on this show in competitive fights. The best fight next to the main event is Dib-Gradovich, which tells you everything you need to know.

btw i dont know why people say something sh it on their opponent
if i was a player or trainer id rather praise them to make their victory looks bigger
these are mind games camps play before the fight. they know rios can be dangerous. they are trying to get under his skin. you can tell its working because of rios reaction the last few weeks.
Pac is fighting Rios....Roach is taking **** about Rios....how did Floyd get some name drops in here?!?....dudes kill me with always trying to link Floyd and Pac together.
I'm not saying this should be a PPV fight but Manny is coming off of a devastating KO loss and is fighting a dangerous fighter who's going to be looking for a KO.
Is that really worse then calling a guy who became a champion by beating Matthew Hatton, fought 40 cab drivers and then fought one decent guy in Trout- "The One?". Canelo beat Trout and then got a Mayweather, he beat one top 10 guy and then fought May.
How much worse is Fighting a "journeyman" on PPV then fighting a literal "hype job" on PPV?
Rios was as much as a champion as "3 division champ" Robert "Mr.interim champion" Guerrero and Canelo
What's the difference? Besides the fact that Manny is coming off of a KNOCKOUT loss
Did I say he was a A fighter no. If you really think he won't be remembered then you must be crazy. He is the kind of fighter who will be remembered for his fun and action packed fights.
