Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia's Father Wants Him to Fight Pacquiao, Not Spence

[Shadoww702]

Bob Arum just said yesterday "Garcia doesnt take chances" " Garcia wants to fight Spence because Spence will beat him and then Garcia can say I got beat up by a guy to weight classes higher"

That makes ZERO sense??

Then he goes on to say "Mikey has a commitment contractually, or Morrakly to Showtime and Loma does to ESPN" "But if we can do Floyd/Pac we can do this"

I like Mikey and Pac fight. It won't happen though. Pac will probably fight Horn again.

Manny doesnt want THAT, because he already could've had that fight if he REALLY WANTED THAT.
Manny doesnt have the type of skills at this advanced age to beat a "rough fighter" everyone ages, Floyds skills allowed him to continue to beat guys as he got older, Manny is still relying on speed and reflexes, which slow down at his age. He damn sure doesnt want to be in with a PRIME fighter at a weight class which Mikey is comfortable at

Mikey needs to listen to his pops and brother. If he fights Spence, his "0" will go & he may take damage like he's never seen before.

[HURTFEELINGS]

Mikey will Spence then lose and go on to fight Bud because he believes he can really beat Crawford, because he believes he did in the amateurs or golden gloves....

Once Loma beats either Pedrazza or Beltran hopefully the boxing community comes together to make these 2 give us the fight we all want to see.

ESPN gave Mikey some shine this past week in the fight buildup. Schaeffer seems willing to work with Bob. I think it would be a big fight in Vegas or LA.

I doubt it happens but I will try and remain positive.

I would probably have a heart attack if Bob Arum, Haymon, Schaefer, ESPN, abd Showtime ALL got along to make this fight.

None of the Garcias mention Loma they scared.

Mikey should at least try for Pacquiao. That's also a PPV fight but he has a better chance against him than against Spence.

Actually it occupies Prograis and keeps Bob from having to make the prograis/Ramirez fight in the immediate future.

TR gets a guy in the WBSS (the #1 seed at that) and can have Ramirez defend against Orozco on ESPN. Prograis can win all the other belts and then TR has a huge unification fight.

Win win from where I sit homie! Got give Duboeff and Bob credit on this one.

Oh, most definitely! In fact, I give Bob a lot of credit for the ESPN success! HBO has been very weak without TR! However, Prograis is not signed to TR, so Mikey vs. Prograis is still much easier to make than Mikey vs. Loma or Crawford!

Ok I thought he signed the deal with TR and thats why he headlined. Ok so maybe they can make it after the WBss.

I don't believe Prograis signed with TR. Bob wanted to promote him so that he can build up Prograis vs. Ramirez! If Prograis was signed to TR, he wouldn't be in the WBSS Tourney. You know Bob wouldn't let that happen!

He's signed to DiBella.
