Comments Thread For: Rios' Coach on Brook Shot: Motherf***er Has To Pay

[NEETzsche]

i don't really mind if this fight falls apart, it's not very interesting to me. but then i have no idea what is the plan b. diego chaves? devon alexander? the only interesting opponents for brook are thurman and khan, really. maybe sadam ali too

Why do people act like this is a bad fight? Rios has a good chance, that is of course unless they rob him in the UK. I hope this takes place here in the good ol' USA.

Brook is the champion. Why would it take place in the USA where Brandon Rios has staged one of the worst robberies in recent memory against Ricar Abril?

And why would any fight take place in the UK after the millions of robberies that have occurred over there, especially against Americans? If Rios does travel there then his trainer makes a good point. He needs to get paid. It's bad enough with the rumors of Brook being on something.

Because that's where the champion and the money is. America has staged some of the worst robberies in boxing history and Brandon Rios has been a part of one so you're not really in any position to talk.

Rios isn't a big draw in the UK, so the money's always going to be shorter. If Rios had bigger/better options at the moment Garcia would just walk away. The fact that he hasn't means he doesn't have better options which puts Hearn in the driving seat re. negotiations. That's the business, stop ******** crying about it.

Plus, let's face it, Rios will just be cannon fodder for Brook. He's a walking punchbag. He's ok against less skilful fighters but Brook will just use him for target practice all night long. This total mismatch will resemble the Pacquiao fight. Rios should take whatever Hearn offers and be grateful he's getting a title shot that he's done nothing to warrant.

Oh wow, now there's a glove issue too? Why are Brit fighters such lames? Rios isn't even a power puncher.

Oh, choosing gloves, that's a British thing is it? Twat.

Nah, robberies is a Brit thing. Gloves are a Brook thing apparently.

I guess he doesn't want Brandon "Hands of Stone" Rios to land any punches with his special (commission approved) Mexican gloves.

Gloves are always part of a championship negotiation... even if the boxers have a seemingly free choice a concession has been made for that to be the case because the incumbent calls the shots.

You are extremely naïve if you think there's any single thing that won't be used for bargaining.

Brook thinks he is Floyd and Hern thinks he is Haymon

Kell Mayweather and Eddie Haymon
