Comments Thread For: Provodnikov: No Interest In Pacquiao, Maybe Rios at 147

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16KOs) has no interest in facing Manny Pacquiao in a future fight. The two boxers are both trained by Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California. Provodnikov considers Pacquiao a close friend and worked as a sparring partner in several of Pacquiao's past camps.

Provodnikov was ringside on Saturday night in Macau, and watched Pacquiao win a dominating twelve round decision over Brandon Rios (31-2-1, 23KOs). After the fight was over, Provodnikov was mentioned as one of several possible opponents for Pacquiao, who returns on April 12 in Las Vegas.

Ruslan is all class!!

Pacquiao is running out of opponents. Tim Bradley is the only option left and I don't see that as a big selling ppv.

It'll do decent but nothing out of this world. I think it'll do better than the first one. Bradley has gain maybe 6 more fans since then and everyone wants to see manny get his revenge so it will do a lot better than the first one.

Cool, I didn't want to see that fight. Just release some sparring videos for anyone who wants to see it.

Rios v Provo would be a great fight.

Not a lot of people turn down multi million dollar fights like Ruslan just did. Respect.

This pretty much puts to sleep the manny-cotto 2 rumors.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't want a bradley rematch, JMM 5, or cotto rematch. I don't want REMATCHES.. pac has limited time left in this sport. i don't care who it is, let's find a new opponent and bring us something new!

I think ruslan can very well end Brandon's career tho if this fight happens. I mean rios has been in some major war and bob is suppose to make rios vs Alvarado 2. I don't know how much more punishment rios can take.

Nice knock would love to see him knock Rios the **** out

I know this is crushing news in Tardland but that fire that's missing that everybody talks about has been gone ever since PBF shined the light on Pac & PED usage!!! NO KO"S SINCE THEN!!!! Shots that crippled dudes before are slightly above average shots now. Has NOTHING to do with Manny's drive cause he's hitting these dudes as hard as ever, the super-power is just gone. I wonder why? Could it be because he's submitting to random testing now? Hmmmmmmmmm.
