    It will be. Just wait.

    If Danny Garcia wanted the Broner and Khan 2 fight on PPV, I expect him to demand the Thurman fight on PPV.

    Danny Garcia (32-0, 18KOs), who holds the WBC welterweight title, is waiting for confirmation of his next fight. Garcia captured the vacant title back in January with a twelve round unanimous decision over former beltholder Robert Guerrero. The belt became vacant when Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced his retirement last September after decisioning Andre Berto.


    Former unified junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (31-0, 17 KOs) is very interested in a rematch with his former rival, British fighter Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs). The collided on 2012 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan got off to a very fast star and swept the first two and a half rounds before getting clipped late in the third. He never fully recovered and suffered two more knockdowns in the fourth before the fight was waved off.

        Any guess how much money would Danny and Angel want for the Thurman fight?

          Danny said he doesn't even know how much he's being paid yet

            No clue, but I'll bet your 46,614,179,217,911.78 points that the fight isn't a PPV.

              Because PBC is trying to go with free television.

              I do think there's enough money to be made on PPV though.

                He's expected to focus on his upcoming fight first before tackling the Thurman talks, so that's understandable. Any guess how much would the Garcia's want for the Thurman fight? Just a guess. $5 million? $10 million? $20 million? I would guess no less than $5 mil.

                  The way he said it I don't think he has a say in how much he's being paid. He said it before the fight was announced. He said the fight is done and it's happening but not sure when or where or how much he's being paid yet. I think for PBC vs PBC fights they don't have a say. Thurman got paid less for Porter than he did in his pervious fight. Remember Charlo vs JRock purse bid was called by the IBF and it was ignored by PBC

                      Latest news say it's on Showtime, not PBC.
