Dumb photo everyone knows Pacquiao also is unable to read and only has a 3rd world elementary school education. Caption should be I too can not read, let's fight for RIF championship

Rios has not been the same since the Alvarado fights and then that beating PAC gave him who can blame him not wanting to fight Provo.

Quite an accomplishment to win a World.

So the money gotta be right huh? And people said Provodnikov was the one ducking. Im sure Rios would get paid more to fight Ruslan than he did to fight Chaves.
