Who said it's going to be 50/50? Of course Loma would get the bigger purse. Where do you base the purse from other than their recent ones? Loma has been getting $1 mil per fight while Garcia got $250k, $350K in his last 2 fights. Exactly why this is an easy fight to make for Arum.

i'm talking 50/50 in terms of winning. I'm not concerned about the purse. We all know Loma is overpaid and will get a nice purse regardless. I'm talking about Arum putting his top fighters in 50/50 fights against fighters he doesn't promote.

Pac vs Crawford

Lomo vs Garcia

So you think this is an easy fight for Mikey? What are you even saying? Aren't you one of those people who is pushing for this fight? Why be negative all of a sudden?

Is 50/50 an easy fight? That means either guy could win/lose. I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. Arum has been in the game for damn near 50 years. I'm going by his past actions. He rarely puts his fighters in 50/50 fights with fighters who aren't promoted by him. If it's a PPV he'd be more willing to do it but this isn't a PPV fight. If it's a mandatory he'd do it but that's why his fighters fight for the WBO. He controls the WBO and they aren't going to call mando's unless Bob approves it.

Why are you even complaining? Weren't you guys celebrating when Mikey was leaving Arum? And you now expect Arum to provide fighters for Garcia?

Assuming you are right about Arum not being amenable for 50/50 fights for his fighters. Now give me a list of fighters at PBC that would accommodate Mikey's needs for the rest of the year. He probably needs 2 more fights this year. Name 2 PBC fighters that would fill the 2 slots.

I hope Mikey Garcia unifies at 135 then fights Lomachenko before he goes up to 140.

The winner of that one becomes a legit contender for the top P4P spot.

You got some big hopes...too big.

[SterlingStained]

loma would be ****** to not to concede to fight pac at the very least at 140lbs.

boxers today are so short sighted....just like broner and garcia saying no to facing a faded pacquiao.

loma should concede to a 140 fight vs pacquiao.

that is a very very winnable fight. You want to face a living legend, beat them, then the rewards come after.

fighters today want everything....


loma has the skills and body frame to top out at 147 plus he is physically bigger than pacquiao anyway...same with crawford who doesnt want to go 147 right now despite being perfect for the weight class...

too much babying going on. that's why boxing has been forgotten by the mainstream sports fans.

Currently, WBO super featherweight belt-holder Vasyl Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) is scheduled to face Jason Sosa, who holds the WBA "regular" title, on April 8th on a card that will be televised by HBO. But, Lomachenko and his team have designs are bigger fights against the marquee names in the sport.
