Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Roach Discuss Provodnikov Fight Possibility

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After making a successful comeback against Brandon Rios last November, Manny Pacquiao and his team needed to find his next opponent for his first big fight of the calendar year. While Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach expressed that they wanted their chance at revenge against Juan Manuel Marquez, Marquez made it very clear he had no intentions of facing his Filipino arch nemesis a fifth time.

I despise the very thought of this !!!

Ruslan should fight Rios or some GBP fighter or something NOT PAC.

My reasons are Pac and Ruslan have the same trainer and they are in the top three of my favorites AND some body has to LOSE.

WHY do it ? ANSWER: GREEDY BOB

I don't want to see PAC vs Provo. PAC has gone soft as it is, he deft will try not to hurt Provo and just box him to a decision win. Besides, Provo needs to stop calling out all these big names after one decent victory. Why not fight Rios who has been calling him out while he's been chasing that huge payday

I know Manny wants his revenge, but this is the fight I wanted to see. Truth be told, if Manny wanted a BIG PPV he would have chosen this fight instead of Bradley. If Bradley and Marquez had turned me down to fight each other, I would have chosen Ruslan, made BIG money, and then have Bradley and Marquez begging me for a rematch!

if Pac beats Bradley, he's proven he's back
fighting Ruslan after that is just fine
not expecting excitement in Pac-Bradley 2 either way
if it actually turned out good, a 3rd fight there is ok
Ruslan is decent, but he's not that good
if Pac can beat Bradley again, he'd beat Ruslan easy

This fight should not happen, not because they are friends but simply because it's bad business...really bad business. Top Rank is massively limited at 140 and 147 right now, so much so they are racing their guys up the divisions because of it. Ruslan just got to the paydays for him it would be dumb to go in there and lose all of those easier paychecks to fight for one big one. Ruslan is still getting attention from the public, still asserting himself as more than just an ESPN fighter and many critics still deem him that so they'd trash the fight if it were announced. Give it a year or two and make the fight by then Ruslan would have a resume and some defenses of his belt plus a lil money in the bank. I think Manny and Roach know Provo's weakness and would beat him easily so they are ok with the fight, Ruslan better realize he needs to look out for himself in the long term tho.

Ruslan should fight Rios then Pacman vs Marquez 5 if Pacman wins.Put them together in PPV will be awesome!

Friends should not fight for Money!
