Does Rios party hard? I know Robert is always at clubs and stuff I wonder if rios needs a life style change.

he was drunk 2 months before the fight against pacquaio, if he want the video interview where he is drunk, let me kno and ill embed it

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes former champion Brandon Rios, is not confident in Rios' belief that he can make the junior welterweight limit of 140-pounds.

Rios has been pushing for a fight with WBO 140-pound champion Ruslan Provodnikov, who returns to HBO on June 14th.

Enjoy the way Rob Arum degrades his fighters.

How Did he degrade him? He spoke an obvious truth, the guy is not making 140 again. If the fight is made at 140 he's coming over even on diuretics, and it becomes the promoters problem

Rios rehydrates to 160, he doesn't belong at 140. 147 should be his weight class and if he can't handle it then he simply isn't good enough. Sick of these fighters with insane weight advantages boiling themselves down since they aren't good enough to fight opponents their own size.

100% agree

Boxing needs to bring in rehydration limits because it's getting ridiculous!!

They already have them but no one enforces them.

Chavez says he can still make 160. Should Arum let him?

"I told Chavez that he's destroying his credibility with this weight nonsense," Arum said Monday. "He said, 'If I had to I could make 160 pounds.' But that's f---ing nonsense that he said that. He can say whatever he wants but it doesn't mean s--- to me unless he makes the weight.

How dare Arum stand in the way? I guess it's time for Chavez, Rios, and Rigo to join 50 cent's SMS where they can be treated with respect.

he's saving Provo for Pacquiao and Bradley and rightfully so, Provodnikov has earned bigger fights. Bob should just be honest about this one
