Manny Pacquiao vs Mikey Garcia Next? Opening up the Showdown Between Terence Crawford and Shawn Porter?

https://twitter.com/canelofanboy/status/1366638241328160771?s=20 Pacquiao has been in the gym for a few weeks now and it looks like it will be Mikey as the opponent. There were slight talks of a Crawford fight happening, but that doesn't look to be the case. But what this does is it allows Crawford vs Porter to take place and we know Spence vs Ugas is taking place in the spring/summer time. This is actually better and allows the winners to face off later in the fall or winter. Pacquiao probably retires after this fight, win, lose or draw as he will be running for President of the Philippines. Good for Mikey, the truest businessman of them all. People can say whatever they want about him, but he's a hustler and gets it done. Does not wait for ANYONE and goes out and gets any big fight that he wants. Wanted Spence? He got Spence. Wanted Pacquiao? Looks like he will get Pacquiao. And in between this, he made 7M against Vargas. Much respect to this man!

Until Spence grows some balls Porter is as good as anybody for Crawford. But how much does Porter really want it? He says he wants it but at the same time prices himself in a way that makes it difficult. If he is the Mando to Crawford which I'm not sure if he is or isn't, and Arum isn't interested in paying out on this they can always do what Teo Lopez just did and get it to purse bids. That is if Porter really wants it. PBC fighters seem to have a habit of claiming to want fights that they do nothing to actually back track on once it becomes a reality.

I've always been OK with this fight especially after Mikey Garcia got back on the winning track vs Vargas This is 1000x Better than fighting Ryan Garcia that is for sure

I really dont get all this mickey hype. The guy blatantly ducked gamboa and wasted years of his prime because of it. Then beats a bunch of pbc bums then fed to spencer. Where would the money even come from to pay both of them because they both want more than 5mil I mean DAZN just put up a bid for 3.5M for Lopez vs Kambosos. You don't think they will be able to pay up for this fight? Especially if they put it in the Middle East somewhere? The money won't be the issue here.

Its a terrible fight. Especially since Pacquiao tweeted "his next fight that will keep enhancing his legacy". Mickey does nothing for Pacquiao. His star power literally evaporated after getting schooled by spencer. People dont even know he had a comeback fight against vargas. This is literally just a money fight mickey doesn't deserve then he will retire. An absolute trash fight Only fights to enhance his legacy would be Spence and Crawford. He wasn't going to fight either of them. Just because Spence dominated Mikey doesn't mean Pacquiao would do the same. Spence has longer arms and was able to keep Mikey out of distance the entire fight. That won't be the case with Manny. It's a good competitive fight.

Looked like Mikey was getting a HJ during the interview.

Porter is pricing himself out. He thinks he's worth more than $2M, and he's not. Okay then.

If Spence and Crawford come through in their next fights, they are likely headed for a showdown later this year. And you can't say no one wants to fight Crawford when Porter has been calling for that fight and his father met with Arum. There are no boogeyman out there. Porter is pricing himself out.

Smfh what a waste of time. First Pacquiao fight I'll miss in a long time. It is not a bad fight at all. Mikey has the style to give Pacquiao some issues and they have long sparring history. Mikey has also proven to have a very solid chin so he's not going to get destroyed this fight or anything. Pacquiao doesn't owe the fans anything else, any fight he gives us is a win. I'll gladly take this fight.

It's as good a fight as any that can be made right now. No one wants to fight Crawford, the risk isn't worth the reward. I wouldn't mind seeing Thurman come back for a fight with Spence later in the year. If Spence and Crawford come through in their next fights, they are likely headed for a showdown later this year.
