Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Bob Arum Won't Allow Lomachenko to Fight Me

[Ray*]

Bob will make that fight, he's said it multiple times

And you really believe Bob Arum?

[aboutfkntime]

stop it

i'm not saying haymon doesn't pad the records or put his fighters in with soft touches but haymon / pbc have shown they aren't afraid to put their fighters in 50/50 and let the chips fall where they may. In the last couple years they have put together

thurman/porter
thurman/garcia
jack/degeale
degeale / dirrell
spence / brook
quicken / jacobs
mares / lsc
lsc / frampton
jack/ stevenson ( most likely )
wilder/ortiz ( probably)

and probably many more if i actually thought about it, these are all fights that were toss ups with fighters in their prime and not a clear favourite

in the last 2-3 what 50/50 fights have tr put on maybe bradley / vargas and that's a stretch the rest of the fights their a side is the clear favorite

top rank doesn't put these type of fights on. Is it because their stable is so far ahead of the competition or they have carefull match making??

Loma / grj was a great fight with two young elite fighters in their prime but that was forced by the wbo. If not i doubt top rank would go out of their way to make that fight because that's not how they operate


i actually rate lipinets, think he's a top 5 guy at 140 and like the fight. But hopefully if garcia wins he fights linares (who's next fight is a nobody ) or easter or another legit name. We'll see how it plays out

but i doubt top rank want loma / garcia because both are elite in their prime fighters and loma would be moving up and top rank has shown that's not how they do business

dayummm !!!

Where's the outdoor stadium?

Arum will get a WBO title shot for Lomachenko at 135. He isn't looking for that Mikey Garcia work.

Mikey knows exactly what he's talking about.
He's been there and the recipient of Bobfather's protective care.
Then Bobfather offered Gamboa. Mikey left and complained why the Cuban was offered more money than him.
Kills me with these clowns.
They like it when it benefits them, but....

I definitely don't believe mikey who ran from top rank when they tried to make the Gamboa fight and has ran from every real challenge since he doesn't have a promoter anymore. He just wants the easiest fights possible, hed never fight Loma

[jjsmyth87]

Cant wait till Arum calls this frauds bluff and offers him another career high payday to fight loma at 135. Of course mikey will turn it down claiming he got a lowball offer

[DinoCop]

I fear Bob may not see another year. Do everything you can already.

[Curt Henning]

arum will make mikey/loma as soon as soon as all the cuts heal from the jmm fight

[Bronx2245]

Bob doesn't like to be beaten by his former fighters! "Fake Contracts!" It is what it is! It was amazing how fast Loma's people went from "we're moving to 135, to we're looking to unify @ 130, then finally to "Stop hiding Davis from us.'" Bob's ESPN deal it's the gift and the curse for Lomachenko!
