That's true. Turning down VADA and USDA before the JMM-Bradley fight is pretty su****ious.

Good overall card, That's a good night of boxing

except for mikey and gamboa this is a bum fight"peeleft:

[kombayn]

Marquez vs. Alvarado - Winner gets Pacquiao/Bradley 2 winner.

Provodnikov vs. Rios - Winner gets Pacquiao/Bradley 2 loser.

The Losers of the two fights above then face each other. I suspect that we will see Alvarado/Rios 3 toward the end of the year, loser gets dropped by Top Rank as that would be 3 or 4 consecutive losses.

Why is this not being bashed?

Marquez is a Mexican warrior, why is he fighting Alvarado?? Why not fight Ruslan???

Marquez is coming off a loss.

Plus the fight would be in L.A., two fighters of Mexican descent would be a much better draw than having Ruslan on the card.

In other words, it's Arum's way of setting up Marquez-Pacquiao V. Give Marquez a fight he SHOULD win to get him back in the winner's circle. Pray for Pacquiao to beat Bradley to make him seem like the old Pacman is back. Cash a check for a V'th fight. Eat some chips and call it a night.

Oh yeah and that Provodnikov guy. Yeah, we'll let his career marinate.

Pacman fought Rios, are you flips crazy? too much mercury in your diets.

Marquez won't fight him again ANYWAYS.

In that case it's not about money.

He destroyed that fool... end of story.

Only after both Bradley and JMM turned town the rematch with PAC.

JMM has a history of taking these softer fights. JMM talks about legacy and chasing a 5th division belt. In all actuality, he hasn't really earned a 4th division title.

Beating Provo would legitimize his claim as champ in 4 divisions.

Finally a good card from TR. Like it. Alvarado a C level fighter who just lost to an ESPN staple fighter so dont see him winning but at same time i dont see ruslan wining either.

Conspiracy: arum feeds someone way down totem pole to ruslan he wins and many think hes better than he really is and gets pac in a joke of a fight

[Doctor_Tenma]

Marquez is coming off a lost in which he gave a really good account of himself against a top P4P, this is inexcusable really.
