good numbers.. but i still think rios isnt that good, he was in there against a very shot fighter,,,since arum said rios will get a big fight i have a feeling that if cotto doesnt face floyd rios might

Rios cotto would be a great fight. Cotto is an in and out fighter and Rios looks like he is using his length alot better, and was going In and out a little bit on Alvarado. Rios would put up a decent fight. If Rios pulls in one more fight with these kinds of numbers he could get a real big fight with any of the top guys at top rank. Bradley, cotto, Marquez, Terance Crawford at 140, Mikey Garcia is moving up but they share the same trainer. Chris algieri is signed to star promotions. I think algieri would beat Rios. Rios could fight provodnikov, that would do really well and be exciting. I'm looking forward to Rios next fight

Another interesting thing about these numbers at the 1.3 mill peak, they are just about the same as the Wilder/Stiverne fight, and these were welters.

Agreed...you would think those numbers for Rios/Alvarado would be even higher considering HBO has over three times the amount of subscribers that Showtime has...

Nice. Maybe last year's ratings will prove an anomaly rather than a trend.

Hopefully.

I wonder if more people are watching or people actuall bought into the trilogy.... The last fight being the worst of it

Or, boxing is gaining new fans and bringing back old ones, hopefully shaking some of the poor fools who actually still watch MMA as if it could hold boxings jock strap.

The big fight may be with Bradley. Unless they go with the Ortiz fight as there is bad blood there with the whole Garcia thing. I have a feeling we'll see that next.

That fight not gonna happen as much as we want it to happen, it just not. Haymon wont allow it on top of arum and haymon beef cause haymon has plans for ortiz and makes no real sense for Rios to fight Ortiz so his manager and promoter will steer him into bigger payday fights.

If Haymon lets him... most likely not, saving him for the Berto/Lopez winner

Thats exactly what it going to save him for probably give ortiz another bum to beat on to keep his name out there somewhat till its time to rematch the winner of berto/lopez

1.2 million people witnessed a slaughter.
.

Yup and boxing made alot of new fans and Rios made a ton of new fans even converted pratically every Alvardo fan at the stadium into a rios fan.

Too bad "mile high" decided not to show up and quit.

Mike needs a year off and then he can come back on ESPN.


"Great camp doe" gets his ass beat "Didn't train doe"

I've learned this from Twitter -- some 8 hours ago.

Rios in tip-top shape

Garcia was right when he said they didn't find Alex Ariza more effective than they were, using the old-fashioned way of conditioning. One less expensive overhead.
