Leo Santa Cruz: Golden Boy told me Santa Cruz vs Mares in May 2015

[Aztekkas]

Don't matter what weight, the fight will be exciting.

If they put it on a Cotto/Canelo undercard, you're talking big PPV numbers.

Huge numbers. You are right, I just thought that Abner could pick up a belt at 122 and become a power player at SBW again

[JJRod]

That is the fight that fans want!

It can also help raise a fighters stock. If he even took the fight with Rigondeaux he would get big credit let alone if he was remotely competitive.
He'd learn more from that fight than all these cherrypicks together.

If its about money then why won't he fight Frampton in Belfast? Frampton as I am sure you know does crazy numbers, he has a whole country behind him.
Is it because his team know he losses that fight?
How can you call yourself a world champion if you're scared to risk your undefeated record?

Quigg also a big draw and is a winnable fight for him I don't understand it.

Timing is everything.
I'm sure Quigg, Frampton, Santa Cruz and even Mares will eventually get in the ring.
I'm sure when Frampton KO's Avalos and draws another 16,000 fans like he did against Martinez, then they'll push for a Frampton vs Quigg fight in the UK.
Wouldn't be surprise if the winner of that fight meets the winner of a Mares/SLC fight in the fall of 2015.

Just because the fights don't happen the moment you want them to, doesn't mean anyone is ducking.

At this point I don't think Abner really cares about the titles. He's interested in big fights now. If he beats LSC which I believe he will, he could fight Frampton, Quigg, heck he might even get a fight with Donaire, which I believe can still be a big fight.

Frampton vs Mares is another dream fight for me.. I wouldn't know who to root for Anyway sounds like a plan, I really hope it downs pan out the way you see it.

No casuals will just see a guy being totally outclassed thus knocking down Santa from the pedestal he is on right now

Mexicans love him

Also the loss will take confidence away from Leo

[Vasyl’s dad]

Stub Hub or Staples Center is the only place this fight should be.

[bojangles1987]

Make that **** happen.

[LouIE G]

Great fight!! I think mares will dig deep and pull off a late ko, or close decision.

[MDPopescu]

... If Golden Boy told him, then Golden Boy it is.
... But don't understand what's Santa Cruz's business at the featherweights? Difficult division (with Gonzalez, Walters, Lomachenko etc)... Well...

[The Big Dunn]

Oh this is going to be a damn good fight. Can't wait to see it. This is what I expect from Haymon in 2015.
