R. Garcia on Why Rios Gives Marquez ‘A Hell of a Fight’
One fighter who might have missed out on a huge payday is Brandon Rios. According to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, the former lightweight titleholder from Oxnard, Calif., was in the mix to fight pay-per-view kingpin Manny Pacquiao next spring. “I’m picking Pacquiao to win, because that’s who I want to fight,” the 26-year-old Rios (31-0-1, 23 KOs) said Friday night.
