No he was simply quoting something Rios said himself

Rios: I'm not gonna be a punching bag

Rios gets his arse destroyed in the fight and gets hit by virtually every punch Pac threw

Max: You said you weren't gonna be a punching bag, did you prove something tonight?


Nothing wrong with the question at all. Rios can't handle the fact that he's a shite talker and can't back it up in the ring.

Frick Brandon Rios. If you gonna talk that kind of trash, at least throw some damn punches.

The real question is who is left for Pacquiao after he beats Bradley again*? Floyd will never happen as long as Manny is with Top Rank so what other good fights are out there at 147/154? Pacquiao-JMM 5 is the obvious answer but fight fans know that in addition to the KO in 4 (even though he was losing that fight), JMM won fights 2 and 3 despite the judges.

Manny clearly won the fight with Bradley but after the Martinez fight Bradley controls the next big fight. Does he take a fight with Floyd or Many? Floyd gives him the best pay day of his life but he might feel more comfortable fighting Manny?

I was really surprised by the Bradley win over Martinez.

I wish Bradley would say he will only fight Pac or Floyd if they finally fight each other.

Bradley-Pacquiao II
Just finished watching the fight. Not surprisingly (to me, at least), Pacquiao was dominant. After the first fight with Bradley, I said I would never pay to see a rematch between them. But now I really want to see that fight.

I think Pacquiao will beat Bradley/Cotto/Provodnikov or whoever else he fights next. In a couple years or maybe sooner, people will again be calling for a matchup between the two best fighters in the world: Mayweather-Pacquiao.

The fight will happen....Arum is suddenly talking up the fight now since he knows Pac's career is winding down. Arum never wanted the fight in 2010-2011 because Pac was a $ making machine and he knew Floyd would crush the hype and the dollars would suffer.

Arum will cash out Pacman after he gets another 2-3 more wins and his popularity is soaring again. That fight will also end the promotional "Cold War" between Top Rank and Golden Boy.

It's just sad that we won't get either of them anywhere close to their peak

Yes....in May 2011 that fight would have been the biggest event boxing had ever seen. Nothing else in sports would have mattered that weekend.

Pacquiao returning on April 12



Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38KOs) is back in the hunt after dominating Brandon Rios over twelve rounds in Macau, China. Pacquiao snapped a two-fight losing streak. In 2012, Pacquiao lost a controversial twelve round split decision to Timothy Bradley and then he was knocked out cold in the sixth round by Juan Manuel Marquez last December.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum announced April 12th as the next return date for Pacquiao, and this time he is going to fight on American soil. A Las Vegas venue is likely.

The Filipino star would not reveal his targets, but his trainer Freddie Roach was more than happy to reveal the boxers he wants Pacquiao to fight. At the top of the list is undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., but that fight is the most unlikely of the bunch.

“Personally, I want Marquez but the thing is I can’t be sure if we can get him to fight us. Bradley is there. Obviously Mayweather is a guy we want," Roach said.

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum told reporters that he plans to sit down with Pacquiao to discuss the options for April.

“We’ll sit down and we’ll figure it out. If you figure something out in light of a big victory, you usually make the wrong decision. We’ll talk to Manny, we’ll talk to Freddie but I know that we are tentatively scheduled for April 12, hopefully in the United States," Arum said.

Yeah, the fact that Bob Arum has already set Pac's next fight date before even talking with Floyd's people speaks volumes
