Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios (33-2-1, 24 KO) is one of the most exciting fighters in boxing, and one fans have been clamoring to see again since he bludgeoned Mike Alvarado in the rubber match of their epic trilogy.

Timothy Bradley (32-1-1, 12 KO) is one of the sport's most polarizing fighters, and a must-see in his own right. A potential deal for these two men to clash on Nov. 7 in Las Vegas is close, and it would be a strong answer from HBO to the increasingly dominant Premier Boxing Champions stable.

Pacquiao-Mayweather Unlikely According To Sources From Both Camps

PBC has dominated 2015, putting on multiple cards a month across NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN and Spike TV. Some of their matchmaking has been criticized, but since their first card in March, HBO and Showtime have taken a back seat. PBC is run by Al Haymon, whose vast stable of fighters makes it difficult for rival promoters to compete.

If Rios-Bradley can be made, there are rumors that featherweight standout Vasyl Lomachenko will be a co-feature. That is the type of fight card that fans are starting to demand from Haymon and his boxing league of sorts. Rios brings tremendous action, and Bradley, although feather-fisted, isn't shy about returning fire. That is a near-guaranteed war; in addition, it may set up a fight between promising young fighters Sadam Ali (22-0, 13 KO) and Jessie Vargas (26-1, 9 KO).

Boxing Commentator Says Pacquiao vs. Khan Has To Happen

HBO is set to own the fall with two major pay-per-view cards. On Oct. 17 undefeated middleweight terror-and WBA and IBO middleweight champion--Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO) is facing IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KO) in a unification bout at 160 pounds.

On Nov. 21, they'll showcase WBC middleweight champion and future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KO) against Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KO) in a fight that could approach Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao levels of anticipation.

In the non-PPV universe though, PBC has beaten them up. This fall they hope to fight back. On Oct. 3 Lucas "La Maquina" Matthysse is going to face Viktor Postol for the vacant WBC junior welterweight title. That's an action fight, but Matthysse doesn't quite have the name value to make it a major event. Both Bradley and Rios do, and these two cards could remind boxing fans that PBC isn't the only game in town.
