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

[Bronx2245]

I'm not sure it's a case of Loma "ducking" Pac. He just arrived at 135 one fight (2 months) ago. I think it's hard to duck someone who is two divisions apart and I haven't heard Loma really talk about that fight. If Pacquaio comes down to 135 and Loma refuses to fight him then sure, but until then it's a bit premature to label especially since Pac has all but said he won't fight again in 2018 and Loma is currently sidelined after surgery and a serious injury. I think it's clear he's fighting the Beltran-Pedraza winner next in December. Not a great fight but a unification fight and Beltran is still a better fighter than Easter who Mikey is getting a ton of praise for beating.

Pacquaio-Floyd was a joint HBO/SHO card. It wasn't showtime exclusive.

When fans become fans/haters of promoters it can cloud judgement and thinking too much.

I'm not sure that Beltran is better than Easter. Not at all!

There's no one in the world that Loma can fight that brings more money than Pacquiao! That an opportunity of a lifetime, and timing is everything! Pac is coming off a KO win! If he doesn't accept the fight, IT'S A DUCK! When Oscar said he would come to 147, did Pacquiao take the fight? When Cotto agreed to 145, did Pacquiao take the fight? If Loma is scared, ask for a rehydration clause! People are on here hating on Mikey for going to 147 for Spence, but seem OK that Loma won't go to 140 for a 40-yr. old Pacquiao!

Floyd and Showtime was the lead promoter/network for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao! Floyd made $300 Million, Pacquiao made $150 Million! When fans accept Bob Arum and Don King tactics, which they've done to far too many boxers, then they become accomplices to the crimes!

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"

And let's not forget how those negotiations went! Remember the face-to-face in Miami? Remember the "fake contracts?" Seems to me someone was trying to kill the fight, while still "negotiating."

Dude stop it. Anybody here with half a brain knows Mikey will wipe down Manny at this point. Stop trying to sell either fight. We know the outcome. Spence will fold him and Mikey will fold Manny. If I was him I would Manny Pacquiao then Danny Garcia. Mexican vs PR then move back down and sell ppvs.

Not 100% sure if Mikey beats a “motivated” Manny let alone wipes him out. I never bet on a fight before but that may be one I really bet on.

Remember the 40,000 "Temporary" Stadium that has to be built OUTSIDE on the streets of Las Vegas???

Im still waiting on that..

IMO Easter vs. Linares is 50/50.

Don’t think Mikey can beat pac either

[sicko]

Hell Yes that is a BIGGER and BETTER fight IMO also Pacquiao is a SMALL Welterweight so as far as size goes a much more even match up.

Would rather him stay at 135 maybe fight Ray Beltran and hunt down Loma. 2 Of the very Best P4P fighters in boxing that is how Mikey Solidify Legacy

[Boxing lives]

Pac-Man should leave Mikey alone at this stage. Go after zab judah or something. Fight victor ortiz who actually went the distance without quitting last time. Or if your really feeling ballsy fight Amir khan. Leave the other guys alone. ActuallY Broner would also be a great fight.

Prolly get busted up more in a pacquiao fight than a spence. Spence has a 1punch k.o. Artist while pacquiao is accumulation of left hands.. mikey has balls if he really is fighting spence hats off! Till no contracts sgned its still a bust

[Reloaded]

let's make this fight happen. I will even give an odds 2:1 in favor of pac.

What excuse will you use when Manny loses, this aint a washed up Lucas M taking a dive.
