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

Donaire refuses to fight Mike and vice versa.

I guess that also works for stablemates Pacquiao and Provodnikov.

Danny and Ruslan are smart guys. They know they are good enough even without fighting Manny or Floyd. They can create their own destinies.

one of the biggest controversies in the history of sports and a decision at one point that people thought it would kill boxing.....and a rematch to that mixed with a revenge storyline for pacquiao wouldn't be a big seller?

Nope. People will remember sitting through the first fight and won't want to do it again.

It's incredible to believe but Pacquiao has just about run out of marketable opponents with Top Rank. Unless you think people will pay for Pac-Alvarado?

Roach said that. Pac didn't.

It just so happens that the boxers you have in your ****** pic are always exciting and people like them. I´m sure you like fighters that fight like girls. Wildcard gym? More like Wild***gym.

Exciting? Sure. Top class fighters? Not even remotely close.

As soon as I started following Provodnikov I always knew that he'd never face Pac. BOTH are under the same trainers and BOTH are good friends. lets not forget that Ruslan was Pac's sparring partner in preparation for a fight.

IMO I feel that a rematch with Bradley would be nice or matchup with Rios. Idc which fight he takes but I know mosdef a matchup with Rios would mosdef create fireworks like Rios v Alvarado and I have an itching feeling they could be bigger.

Both Ruslan and Rios are very similar I feel a matchup between these two would prove who is the better user at the style.

Pac and ProV will never fight, two of the fiercest and nicest guys in boxing.. Seen these two spar back in the days, Prov got quicker chasing boxer now because of Pac, Prov could even touch Pac during sparring session and Pac wouldn't hit Prov but I thought Pac wobbled when he got hit though, but just twice and that was the last and Pac became more elusive..Prov should fight jam.

Man wond what direction theyll go with now
-Pac-Bradley 2
-Bradley-Provodnikov2
-Provodnikov-Rios
-Rios-Alvarado2
-Pac-Alvarado (wouldnt be surprised guy coming off a loss )
-and now if Sergio dont want it you cam add Cotto into that shuffle with either Bradley, Or Rios or Alvarado..
With pac, cotto, ruslan being with roach and bout same weight class. It leaves arum with less options, n hopefully open to work w. golden boy. Lol but long shot

I think PROVODNIKOV is saying the truth,exactly what i felt watching MANNY last fight,he has the deisre to fight but he doesn't want to hurt his opponent,really dangerous situation for him fighting with that spirit.

i forgot what round this was in but it was towards the later half of the fight when rios try to hit manny and he missed and he had to turn around quick because pac was already behind him and pac could have hit him but i saw pac stopped then just gave him a lil tap like telling rios come on i could have got u there.

what kind of fighter asks to fight a guy coming off 2 losses rather than the biggest money fight he can make. There is nothing to applaud about that.
