Comments Thread For: Arum: I Have No Confidence That Rios Can Make 140

[Beercules]

He can't make 140. He said he feels comfortable at 147 so fine, let him fight at WW.


When did he say he doesn't want to make 140? Last I remember he said he belongs at 147

Rios wants this fight at 140 and says he can make the weight. Why is Arum getting in the way?

Basically He wants the fight with Provodnikov but Prov's team turned it down because they think hed screw up on the scales, and their promoter agrees

He said he feels too small at welterweight. You can watch him say it here:

Once upon a time they used to sell punching bags in the 100lbs, now you will never see them again.

Really pisses me off that arum talks so much s!!! About his own fighters. Rios is somebody who has given his promotion some spectacular fights and he starts with this. Unless it's manny p, lomanchenko, or cotto u gets no love from arum. I've heard him bad mouth Bradley,rigondeux,rios and Chavez jr and those are some of his biggest names. Can't wait till the other guy takes over

I mean he's just calling it like it is. I wouldnt take anything the garcia camp says seriously about whether rios can make weight or not they just want a payday, how many times did a garcia fighter fail to make weight last year? Rios got caught with a diuretic against pac and blamed it on VADA giving them a dirty glass LOL.

[MaskedMurderer]

Rios is not going to appreciate this from Arum.

I think Rios is going to leave Top Rank when his contract is up, Ive been watching alot of ellie videos in my time and before Rios used to respect Arum and all that but now in all his recent videos He always Fuck Arum and this and that and he been showing up to alot of GBP fights and he never shows up to TR fights lol.

Arum is probably right. Fans can't ***** about fighters missing weight and complain when a promoter says something like this. I don't see why Provodnikov-Rios couldn't happen at a contracted catchweight anyway. It would be worth it.
