Wasn't expecting this but that's a good fight to make both punchers obviously Garcia is the more technical but fighting at home might be some motivation for Roger. Maybe the winner can fight Shakur but probably not as Arum didn't seem too interested.

As proven before, haymon doesn't mind making smaller fights with others while he prevents big fights

Who are the promoters making the big cross promotion fights happen?

I gotta check out this Garcia guy again. No idea who he was but he gave a real professional effort against Colbert - maybe he was flat in the last 3rd of the fight but still all business

It’s funny because if you look at all the recent big cross promotional fights like Crawford-Porter, Fury-Wilder I, II and III they all involved Haymon.

yep.

These guys don't realize that a fighter with a name's career there's been millions of dollars invested into their careers. Why a business is reluctant to send them over so someone else can profit makes no sense to them.

Yeah Bob’s always shown he’s willing to work with anyone if the money is right. I’d guess he’s worked with essentially every notable promoter/manager of the last 30 years if not longer.
