I would not excatly call it cherry picking since I believe Rios is a very dangerous opponent for Pacquiao wherever the fight maybe held. But the cards are clearly well stacked up against Rios and in favor of Pacquiao. Not only Arum/Pacquiao dictated the place of the fight but most importantly the date of the fight. Could you imagine Rios not having a fight between now and November when he is used to fighting three, four times a year! Imagine the rust in Rios while Pacquiao has all the time to recover from the effects of his KO defeat to JMM last December yet!
BTW, am not seeing this fight happening, at least not Rios as the opponent on November.
Anyone who thinks that Pacquiao cherry picked Rios is taking Rios very lightly.
You don't like the venue [obviously you've never been there before].........really, its Macau China. Its like 10 times better than Vegas. Not just that, you don't get taxed there. Jordan shoes in the US are usually $200 or something close to that. You can get them for $40 US in there. You can get a pair of Nike or Addidas there that Lebron James haven't even seen yet. You still think it sucks.
Cherrypicking? Pac got his azz busted in his recent 2 fights.
Rios KOed Alvarado in the first and lost by points in the rematch. He's not the kind of fighter to cherry pick.
I agree with the others, this is not a case for cherry-picking, because if it was then you should label Mayweather even more so for picking Guerrero.
The issue I see you have is with the venue. But this is more on on the business side more than anything.... greed--the root of all evil.
why is it cherry picking to fight in macau, manny's not from china and even if he was what's wrong with fighting at home like most american boxers or german fighters do . Rios is a good opponent he's well known but very beatable which after two back to back loses is what manny needs
Don't worry.
Pacquiao will find an even better excuse than he had for losing his past two fights.
false, that is not cherry picking...
well, that really tells that you are a novice .... pacman hater
What do you think?
