Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Reacts To Mikey Garcia's Claim on Lomachenko Fight

[kafkod]

Floyd said that like 2 years ago lol. Loma was trending on twitter all because he mentioned Floyd name. He got the most RTs and comments off of Floyd. He knew what he was doing. All I’m going to say is twitter trolling always comes back to bite you in the aśs

He said it this year, after Davis beat Liam Walsh.

['b']

He is getting 3.5 million to fight Lipinets.

I heard that one - how the heck can they afford that? Does Mikey really bring in that much?

If that is what we can expect the price to be for a Loma bout, then this is going to take for ages just based on Arum's lowballs to others fighting Loma.

“I really resent using the names of other fighters that way, saying “he won’t fight me, the promoter wont allow it.” Bull****! If he came in and with not an astronomical ask, of course we’d do it. Loma beats the pants off Mikey, he says Garcia is too slow. Now, Garcia could disagree. But there’s absolutely* no impediment to Lomachenko fighting Mikey Garcia. Vasyl has designated Mikey as one of guys he’s happy to fight. Garcia has to call us up, say he wants to fight Lomachenko, do we have a date, yeah we do, then the question is, how much do you want? You have negotiate, if the price is right, we do it, it’s not rocket science.” -bob arum

Can you guys see it or do you guys just ignore it? Like I have said a few times already, bob uses this tactic to get out of a fight.

He knows now that fighters are speaking up in this "new age" & not like fighters were before saying nothing through media & getting screwed over in the money....PBC is giving the fighters more change so bob is feeling the pressure that's why he had to follow PBC & go to espn, kinda like the nfl "copy cat league."

lmao arum had programming on espn for yrs before pbc. So i guess with your kind of thinking that means pbc copycatted top rank lol. Pbc had opportunity and laid eggs. Now they on showtime. Life goes on

LOL...I don't support anyone. I just know Garcia. He leaves top rank, then talks about fighting Loma, Manny, Crawford etc. Then he targets weak opposition. It is not hard to see.

No, that's what you are saying but the truth is that MULTIPLE fighters have took that man to court & that alone should tell you the deal. Mickey wants the fights but he also isn't going to get bullied & cheated at the $table$.

Apparently it was offered to Keep Mikey on the Showtime/PBC arena. If Mikey is talking GBP and Top Rank fighters to gain leverage with purses from Showtime, he is doing a perfect job LOL.

[IMDAZED]

No because Garcia just said it out in the air without even trying, while he himself is lining up other fights to fill up his 2018.

“I know Bob won’t say anything positive about that. I don’t even know if [Lomachenko] is actually interested in facing me. The way I know Top Rank works, they’ll have somebody else in line for him to win a title at 35 or maybe even at 40. Most likely, he’s not gonna wanna face me because Bob won’t allow it.”

He is doing exactly what he was trying to accuse bob as doing LOL

Or, he was telling you why he wasn’t chasing ghosts in the first place.

[MexicanStyle#1]

Mikey is the total package in boxing!!! Classy, articulate, honest, skilled, disciplined, humble, educated, charismatic, ... the complete opposite of the typical 98% of american boxers!!!!

Well then he should not have showed up for a meet and greet and talk Loma as a potential opponent in the first place knowing full well he would have to negotiate with Bob.

It is one thing to throw out names, but don't do it with no attempt to negotiate.

espn & hbo in the last few years have been hurting in boxing. PBC & Showtime took over. PBC & Showtime have been putting it down, the only match-up I don't like so far is DSG/Rios cuz Bam Bam is punch drunk, Danny can pop, has good boxing skills & Rios shouldn't be fighting anymore for health reasons. That fight will end in a K.O.

He was asked about Loma and he answered. An answer that is pretty obvious to anyone who has seen Arum work over the years (spew one thing to the press, act the opposite).

Sounds like your beef is with the media since they brought Loma up.
