Arum already talking about Loma-Mikey not happening

[Motorcity Cobra]

The WBC needs to call that mandatory as soon as Mikey beats Easter Jr

Arum, continued: "[If Mikey Garcia] wants to fight, let him call me, I’ll give him a number. If it’s not good, **** it. I ain’t negotiating."

What mandatory? You can't call for a mandatory fight against another sanctioning body's champ. If the WBC calls for a mandatory, it will be for Mikey to fight the winner of Campbell/Mendy 2

mikey needs to know he's the b-side i think thats what he is referring to. arum knows he has the better fighter and when you have the better fighter you can take risks but wasting time with garcia who doesnt bring the numbers that loma does and wont fight on espn is futile. mikey needs to publically say right now that he is willing to fight on espn and take less money. thats the only way the fight gets done and its pretty simple

Loma v manny by end of the year.

He said something about Mikey and showtime but Loma is saying different i don't think it will go well with Loma's team if Bob wont make it happen but i don't if its him or Todd at this point making decisions.

The WBC belt. Wasn't Linares WBC belt also on the line tonight?

The Diamond Champion doesn't get passed onto Lomachenko? When Linares was Diamond Champ they were gonna order him to fight Garcia.

Linares was emeritus champion because of his injury layoff, came back and is supposed to fight the current WBC champion.

Lomachenko beat Linares, so now Lomachenko is emeritus champion and now mandated to fight the WBC champion Mikey Garcia.

If Top Rank and Loma don't want the fight, they give up WBC belt and Mikey is the full WBC champion.

linares was the wba champ and wbc interim champion if i remember so now loma is in line to fight the wbc champ next if the wbc orders it of course and that will obviously be garcia as thats a prime cherry pick by team garcia

The #'$ are going to have to heftily favor TR for this fight to happen. But honestly if Mikey signs something with Zuffa (UFC) Id bet my house this isn't happening at all. Dana White HATES Arum and Arum enjoys being hated.

I'm pretty sure there was a short window for Linares to use that to fight Garcia and it went out the window, either when he decided to fight Campbell or Gesta, can't remember which one. That belt is now vacant or on ice or something. WBC has ordered Luke Campbell and Yvan Mendy to fight in a final eliminator for the WBC mandatory, so barring another unification after the Easter fight, Mikey will have to fight the winner of that one. But, IBF also has a mandatory due, Richard Commey, not sure what order he will have to take those in, or if he may even be forced to vacate one of those belts. But I do know that Linares no longer held the WBC Diamond belt.
