You guys are going to love this brilliant idea that I just came up with while eating dinner earlier tonight.
How about after this third fight of theirs, Rios and Alvarado each sign to fight each other 5 more times: once more in 2015, twice in 2016, and twice in 2017.
Here's the kicker. They shouldn't be allowed to fight anybody else during this time period!
This would be a first in the history of boxing and each of their fights would be guaranteed to sell, not to mention become fight of the year candidates. The May fight should be as an undercard of a major PPV involving Pacquiao, Floyd, Cotto, Canelo, Golovkin, Klitschko, etc. For the pre-Christmas fight, their fight would be the Main Event.
This type of contract has never been done before. Both fighters are guaranteed to make a lot, and they may just find their names alongside Carmen Basilio, Tony DeMarco, Arturo Gatti, Mickey Ward, Jake LaMotta, and others.
The organization that sanctions them can give them a belt called something like "WBC Emerald Belt" to fight for.
