Is this official? I like Rios but this wont last long, he takes way to many punches plus I would assume he'll have to go up to 147 which he's never fought at. Wouldnt go as far as calling this a tune up fight for Pacquiao but it isnt far off.

Pacquiao is fully capable of having a tune up and being ready for Mayweather by the time he decides to fight again.
Conor Manny has other fish to fry first. The Pacman fight there isnt much interest in it what does Money benefit from beating Pacman after he has been beaten in his last 2 fights??? You will get people saying Manny was finished as a fighter. I would love to see Manny going for Bradley and Marquez and try and get the wins there first. Marquez seems to have Manny's number in my opinion. I know what some say I just would want to see Manny get back in there with Bradley. Saying that for Manny its going on 6 months and no sign of any fight being made for Manny yet. Is he taking time out. Also Pacquiao is running in elections in May. So for me any fight wont be made until late September or early October thats if he decides to continue fighting. So that fight depending on Pacman winning his return fight could well be way into this time next year if not late next year. Money has to stay active and will fight maybe 1 more time this year.
All we can do is wait and see whats lined up for the end of the year in terms for a fight with Money. A lot of fighters wont fight him simply because there promotors wont just throw them into Money straight away be it Canelo or even Broner until they see signs of Money fading in my opinion.

He's spot on, just worded wrong 'promoters with solid prospects won't throw said fighters in with Floyd', a good businessman looks at long term gains, the above mentioned would both at this stage be outclassed imo which would 100% curtail future revenues!

It should be straight forward for a Money v either of the 2 fighters named to happen as all 3 are being promoted by Golden Boy but you can see Golden boy saying to both fighters they may not be ready for a Money test just yet my opinion. Until Money shows signs of being on a downward slope or the 2 other lads come out and demand a fight with Money. After the Trout fight I just want to see a rematch. Broner I want to see. I like him cocky side and all. I would watch a cocky fighter like him any day as he backs it up in the ring too.

Anyone watching this behind the ropes thing on sky at the moment? Absolute gold.
Roy Jones, Eubank, Calzaghe and Collins sat round a table proper going at each other! Must see stuff, honestly!

A lot of honesty there which I liked. Suppose that was always gonna be the case with a load of Boxers.
Roy was looking a bit pissed off with the way they kept referring to Calzaghe as the 'best at the table'. Don't blame him to be honest.

Thought it was the other way round to be honest, and Calzaghe came accross better than I tought.
Collins seemed the most bitter, and more like he's got a grudgeor a chip on his shoulder over the jones fight. Jones didn't strike me as being to fussed over it
