Danny Garcia demands $5mil for Kell Brook clash

[elgu]

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?

The hate is all his fault. He had all the momentum in the world going for him, and he could have even fought Mayweather. Then he goes and gets beat(Herrera) and doesn't rematch him. Fights Salka in one of the most embarrassing moments in modern boxing. Almost gets beat by Peterson, and chooses to fight Guerrero of all welterweights.

Living off one victory and then proceeding to fight bums, and then overpricing himself to compete in any dangerous match(The Haymon Way). He has no sense of competitiveness. That an a dad like his will get you hated on. I want good boxing, not one sided beat downs.

Rios, Chaves, Bradley, Thurman etc those are some of the names that Hearns has thrown out over the last 18 to 24 months and none of those names happened.... Pinch of salt really

Angel Garcia had said his piece about this.

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.

Not one of those three fights will happen, not this year anyway. If Bradley wins or loses he won't be defending his belt overseas afterwards, why would Bradley travel to the UK when he's trying to establish himself a ppv draw in the States in the vacuum left by Floyd. Thurman is busy and Chino is obese.

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.

Spence will likely fight Garcia or Broner next IMO, if he overcomes Algieri of course. Thurman who knows where he fits in, he could very well meet either of those or Brook, I'm sure he'd travel to the UK but I think Hearn will be looking at Garcia as the weaker link with his poor showings the last 24 months. Thurman is likely perceived as the more dangerous less risk averse plus Angel Garcia really hypes a fight well.

Nice payday
