Danny Garcia demands $5mil for Kell Brook clash

[elgu]

Right now Brook should be looking for a name that makes him relevant again(Thurman, Bradley,Maidana). Danny Garcia is not it and he isn't worth that much.

Garcia does make him relevant especially since he already is relevant. I do agree that he should fight the winner of Pacquiao/Bradley though before anything else.

Garcia stopped The King Khan on Sky, not Sky Box Office the UK fans know very well who Garcia is.

He is worth £5 pound IMO whether you believe different I don't care. For me if Brook wants to bring Garcia out of the States he needs to pay him more than his worth and lets be honest Garcia is a far bigger name in the UK than Thurman and Bradley. This fight ain't happening anyway, Hearn can't or won't put it together and we'll continue to see Brook face never men such as Chaves, the very fact Rios would have some fans satisfied is testament to the shyt fights Brook has fought since winning the title.

Chino is retired and couldn't make 147 if Floyd offered him another fight, have you seen him lately ?

Rios would have been a bigger draw than Garcia. But for some reason Hearn decided not to pursue the fight. And Rios would have been fine with getting 900K US. Which just shows the figures that have been thrown around here are mere fantasies.

What a load of bs. I'm sure Rios would have been happy for 900k he'd be happy if you paid his dining bill and airfare.

That fight would in no way have been a bigger draw than Garcia, Garcia knocked the fück out of Khan in a fight that garnered a lot of attention in fight week and not in the UK and States alone.

Garcia vs Brook is the biggest fight in the division excluding Khan, Floyd and PAC against Brook/Khan in the UK, period. If Froch versus Kessler was ppv Brook versus Garcia is almost certainly ppv, and I genuinely believe if Haye can sell out a stadium after a lopsided defeat against Klitschko to face Chisora I don't believe Brook versus Garcia selling out an arena is so far fetched, if they put Joshua versus Harrison and chief support Brook versus Garcia that'd do Wembley. The latest talk is Fury Vs Klitschko rematch filling an arena 40k after the drab first encounter of the two, do not underestimate the Brits willingness to be bottle fed anything you put in front of them. They think Hearn is a demi god.

You think Arum will match Brook against the loser, let alone the winner ? No chance.

I don't think Arum will, but I'm speaking from Brook's perspective. He should try to target the winner first. If/when Arum turns him down, go for Garcia. Obviously Porter/Thurman are out of the question until after the summer. Brook could fight his mandatory, Spence next, but idk if the risk is worth the reward to him.

Garcia is not worth that kind of money, not now anyways. Garcia still has Herrera problems and didn't look to spectacular against Peterson. If it were Thurman, Bradley, or Maidana then i agree they are worth paying that kind of money but Garcia has done nothing at 147, and left question marks at 140.

He's the WBC champ and one of the biggest draws ratings wise. If he's not worth that type of money to travel, who is? Kelly gonna keep fighting those IBF mando's?

Brook is in a position where he needs a big name to win the boxing world after almost disappearing since the Porter win. Garcia is not that name and Bradley, Thurman, and Maidana would bring maybe a lesser payday but at least he stops being a joke in the boxing world and he will gain more leverage to make more money in future bouts.

Beating Garcia would make him the IBF and WBC welterweight champion. And Garcia is a bigger name than Thurman while Maidana is pretty much retired.

Plus why do people hate on Garcia so much? They call him a cherry picker when he has wins over Guerrero, Peterson, Matthysse, Khan, Judah, Theophane, Holt, and Malinaggi (I didn't include Herrera). Thurman's best win is what: Guerrero?

Exactly my point. Rios would have far exceeded expectations back when Hearn was trying to negotiate with Rios' team. Then they settled with Chaves, who they eventually dropped. There's a reason why Hearn is fond of making these kinds of fights.
