Comments Thread For: 'Fighting Words' - Wanting More From Danny Garcia, Gary Russell

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by David P. Greisman - We should want better from Danny Garcia and Gary Russell Jr. because they are better. Garcia was the best junior welterweight in the world and is now competing at welterweight, where he won a world title in January. Gary Russell Jr. is toward the top of a very talented pool of featherweights...

Lomachenko had gary drunk towards the end of the last round and that scared gary ....he talks about Lomachenko but wont ever fight him again or will price himself out the typical Protection Boxing Cowards way.....PBC wanted to establish a brand....a reputation and it went sour on them...Don King would have churned that roster that Protecting Boxing Cowards has.....danny "Tropical Mexican "garcia is another one that got taken to the proverbial "deep water" and got drowned by Maurice Herrera but was given a gift hence the name Danny "gift"Garcia....

Haymon has spoiled them and now they want more money than they deserve to fight.

Gary needs to STFU about Loma...you can't fight Loma the 2nd time, he will guaranteed beat you even worse than the first time once he has learned you.

Should be in all boxer's contracts that they fight a certain amount of times a year or forfeit a percentage of their next purse - that would go to a worthy cause. Lets say Garcia only fights once - whatever his next purse is he only gets 75%. The other 25% is split between active PBC fighters.
Say he wants to jack up the next purse to recoup th e25% - let him sit on the shelf more - next purse if he fights only once in 18 months is down to 60% of purse.
Also they get a bonus if they fight 3 times a year.
IDK - someone needs to be more imaginative and get this sorted - the sport needs to attract casuals (so purses get to be higher) and it never will if champion boxers fight once in 18 months.

You are right about Don King, tune-ups aside, but it seemed like he matched all his heavyweights against one another instead of this babysitting/diva era we are going through now.

Boxing is in the toilet and its because of attitudes like these 2 part time fighters. They want multi million dollar paydays for even tuneup bouts.

Look at Broner. He scoffed at a $4mil offer to face Pacquiao. What are his alternatives?

Golovkin gets a pass though.

He'll probably get 3 million for Burns.
