$25k... Damn. :/

- Trip Expenses
Taxes
Las Vegas...

= $3 dollars to buy a bottle of water on the plane back home.

Rios cashing in nicely. Then again, he is a good action fighter and HBO knows people like to watch him.

Going with Chaves on this one. Not sure why everyone is picking Rios by KO

Did I miss something?

You were probably one of the guys saying Manny would walk through him and have him no chance lol, missing something or not doubt anyone can change your mind that he's a C class fighter, but Rios is my dude, he is similar to maidana and ruslan in that he always brings it, he has heart courage, and goes out on his shield. He can put anyone down if you give him that chance, it's a great fight and one Rios can easily win in fashion if he can force his fight, I don't think it's that out of the question

He always brings it sure but he was outboxed by Mike Alvarado, lost to Abril and I doubt he hits as hard as Thurman.

So how is he going to KO Chaves?

Lets hope Chaves doesnt spend too much of the purse in Vegas.
