Comments Thread For: Brandon Rios a Free Agent, No Longer a Top Rank Fighter

[al-Xander]

Not a good time to be a Haymon fighter if money is all your sole reason of leaving Arum. Rios and Mikey were already getting an average of $900K per fight. Mikey's first fight with Haymon earned him a mere $200K or something. At least, Rios left not because he was ducking somebody. Mikey left because he was asked to fight Gamboa.

Rios should just retire. But fights against other bums like lopez and guerrero could be fun.

[Francis M.]

Rios was always a warrior. I just hope that he can come in shape so that he can find out if he really has anything left.

The only fight I would want to see him in is against Victor Ortiz because they have real life beef.

If that can't happen, he should retire. Rios has had a very successful career, financially.

He's a bum and anybody half decent at 140 or 147 pummels this punching bag including Guerrero and Ortiz the quitter. Rios is trash.

Agree with this guy but I would love to see him fight another bum like himself, Guerreo. Two clown boxers going at it with 0 defense

Rios vs ortiz is the only fight i would care about for Brandon. Was fun to watch a few years back but im afraid he's a bit shop worn.

[Larry the boss]

Rios vs

Ortiz
Guerrero
Porter
Garcia

[brettWall]

Rios vs

Berto
Guerrero
Karass
Kamegai
Collazo
Lopez
Bundu
Broner
J Molina
Provodnikov

So he still does have lots of options as undercard fighter.

BoxingScene.com has received confirmation that former world champion Brandon Rios is no longer bound to a promotional agreement with Top Rank. The contract was set to expire in December, but it appears that some form of a mutual agreement was reached to allow Rios to break away earlier.

Perfect kat for Al and his boys.......dude's got a name people will tune in to watch (as long as it's free) even if there isn't much left there ala Chris Arreolla...........

[turnedup]

He better manage these paydays better than he did the Pacquaio money. This is the retirement stretch unless he can miraculously pull of an upset and catapult himself back to headline status. Hell get fed to the loser of Garcia vs Thurman though, I could see Haymon trying to go for the P.R. vs Mexico angle even if Garcia wins.
