There's a talk that JMM and Bradley declined a rematch with Pacman because they dont want to stand on a Pacquiao wrath. Hence they decided to fight for lesser purse.
Manny Pacquiao is past his best and Brandon Rios will pull off the Mild Upset?
- No way baby, NO WAY Rios gonna pull an upset. This will be a TKO for the Philippine pride PACMAN
Pacquiao doesn't have it anymore, but he hasn't fallen yet. He's coming back and he has a hit list; on it are marquez, Bradley, Rios, and Mayweather.
Does it matter? If Manny loses, his fans will somehow blame Mayweather.
I think Manny still on his best, if he defeated again in this time, much better to hang up his gloves

It pains me to say that as a Manny Pacquiao fan, but at this point in these two fighters careers, it appears Rios is a rising star and Manny is a falling star. Yes, I know Rios lost his last fight but it was a competitive fight against a talented rising star as well. No one knows how Manny Pacquiao will be after getting brutally KO'd by Marquez. For all we know his punch resistance could be gone.
