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

[Bronx2245]

You have to learn to read between the lines, when you're dealing Bob Arum: "If he came in and with not an astronomical ask, of course we’d do it." What's astronomical to Bob Arum? would he say that the $3.5 million he's getting for Lipinets is astronomical? Bob knows that Mikey will continue to prosper without him, so his only reaction is to take away from Mikey's shine! Mikey is a cool guy too. Notice that he didn't **** on Lomachenko: "Garcia did note he thinks Loma would like to scrap with him." Mikey Garcia is a very classy Champion!

I see you support corrupt bob....

Even WORSE he BELIEVES Bob "Yesterday I was Lying" Arum aka Rat FINK!

[Shadoww702]

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.

But they're at least BIGGER than him...WTF is your excuse on Marriaga fight??? FKN HYPOCRTIE!!!

LOL..What are you TALKING about??? They ARE the same size! Marriaga is actually BIGGER and a P4Per Dudes he fought EVERYONE.
We ALL wanted that fight. Sure he lost every round the fight before??? But he was ROBBED! The ref and judges robbed him

He is getting 3.5 million to fight Lipinets.

Wow. Did not know that. I know he got 1 mil for the broner fight. Wonder if the 3.5 mil is part of some bonus Payment, kinda like Spence is getting vs Peterson. Either way, after a payday like that, it's hard to go backwards now.

The only difference is that the first part is true, and the second is a lie.

And you trust the guy that said "Yesterday I was lying, but today I was telling the truth!" If that works for you? Floyd has no problem stating that he doesn't think Davis is ready. I don't have a problem with that either, because Tank ain't ready. However, Tank is not the #1 P4P fighter calling out a kid with no belts! Loma is stuck, with no real good options. Floyd knows that, and so does Mikey! They both have dealt with Arum (so does Oscar, Cotto, Gamboa, and many more) so i'll rock with Mikey on this one!

All is relative, right? If Loma made $1.2 million last fight, then $3.5 million to Mikey would be quite astronomical, yes.
So, money is obviously an issue. Weight category is another issue, for example.
But why lie saying that "Arum won't allow it to happen"?

[Shadoww702]

Arum talks sensibly a lot. What he does is a whole other story.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather: Bob Arum Planning for Bout in 2013

We got Brandon Rios instead.

There was talks of JMM, Kell Brook, Floyd after Bradley 2...We got Chris "Let him out the cage" Algieri


Talk of Crawford... We got



Joe Horn who I've never even heard of before.

Mikey is just name dropping Lomachenko but he's been making excuses for a while now why the fight can't happen. He first said TV ratings (Loma's are stronger now), he said "I already beat Martinez", now Loma has added more names and it's something different.

He name dropped Cotto too with no intention of fighting him.

Arum is a crook but Mikey is no angel. This is the guy who was making great paydays under Top Rank asked for Gamboa got Gamboa and went away.

Mikey just gonna keep throwing shade and name dropping bigger names but fighting guys with the same style. Limited, slow footed aggressive fighters he can light up.

He's easy work for Lomachenko.

...i'll rock with Mikey on this one!

You can rock with whoever you want, no problem. But Mikey is lying about Bob Arum on this one.
Why he's lying, I don't know. Maybe he really believes it, maybe he is unwilling to admit that he prefers money over legacy, maybe something else.

And I respect Floyd for admitting that! You know damn well Bob would never do that. He would blame the other promoter/fighter and say they want to much $.
