Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Arum is NOT Going To Allow Lomachenko Fight!

[deanrw]

Did you read the part about Arum saying it will be on ESPN

How much you think is ESPN budget for the fight

That is all a guessing game right now. All I know is that the fight is doable as long as the fighters do not over price themselves. Neither guy is a star. Mikey might think he is Floyd #2 but he is not. I am not sure about Loma but I have yet to see him bark about money.

Both make 2-3 million a fight and I doubt one of them would take a massive pay cut

Only way I see it on ESPN if it's PPV which they said they won't do

Bob "the mummy" Arum won't give Mikey a chance to make any real money ever again, especially in a tough fight against his future superstar, Lomachenko.

I'm a big fan of Mikey but I think this is a bit of BS from him. He doesn't seem real keen on making the fight and every time he talks about it, he always mentions problems and obstacles in the way of it potentially happening. Loma has said on numerous occasions that this is the fight he wants. Bob is greasy but regardless of the conflict with him and Mikey, he knows this fight would be huge and would do huge numbers.
If Mikey really wanted this fight next, he would've been talking about it before the Easter fight instead of wanting to move up to WW to face Spence, which is admirable but a step to far if you ask me.
Mikey was pissed when Linares decided to face Loma instead of him, now Loma has the upper hand at LW even if Mikey also unified. Easter was not at the level of even a slightly faded Linares. Now Mikey wants to one up Loma but Spence? He's the only one in his camp that wants that fight and for good reason.

lomo said he doesn't want Mickey, at least not next. We ALL KNOW bob will NOT make this fight happen but your here defending lomo. Snap out of it or do some research if you are a casual.

If he wants an easier opponent after surgery that is fine.

But then some of these posters around here need to stop pretending that he was ever going to fight Mikey next. He wasn't.

Before he got injured he definitely wanted the fight! You sound like a Loma hater. Loma is constantly stepping up weight and looking to challenge the best to be the best. Why would you doubt he wanted to fight Mikey? Mikey is not the boogieman, Loma is. Mikey is a great boxer but Loma has exceptional skills.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]


Since WHEN? LMMFAO!

I'm not saying Loma wouldn't or couldn't win, I'm just saying that the risk of him losing vs Mikey is too high for arum. Mikey has too much bad history with top rank for arum to potentially give Mikey the opportunity to get his best win which in turn would be a real setback for arguably arums most popular current fighter.

Yep, I can’t argue with that train of thought

[Noelanthony]

I give Lomachenko a chance of beating Mikey. Lomachenko is faster, better foot work, and he can box. The concern I have for Loma is size, and Mikey is really good at setting traps. Linares caught Loma, so it is possible for him to get caught. He has to box to perfection at 135 to compensate for size. Beltran isn't going to be a walk in the park imo, contrary to popular opinion on this thread. That guy is a suspected ped user, and he hits like a mule.

Agreed....

#1. I'm talking about opponents that generate risk. vargas was with top rank at the time, he would've had options with algieri (and no way was algieri a threat to win that fight) and mathysse was no risk. Floyd, he waited out until he could milk more money out of pacs prime and then made the fight when there were no other money options that would come within a fraction of what that fight would gross. Mikey is a huge risk for Loma so don't expect to seem arum take it.

bob arum stopped the fight in 2009, you lied about T.B.E.

In the first 47 seconds he even tells YOU.

Mikey is full shyt. Arum never protected Manny, signed him up for one dangerous opponent after another. Arum cares about money and if there is money to be made matching Loma with Mikey he will make the fight. Mikey is the one who is shopping for the best deals in town. So if he prices himself out he only has himself to blame.

No YOUR full of shyt. He protected him from T.B.E. & you are just like bob talking about Mickey "pricing himself out." Mickey makes more than l0m0.

Why would anyone want to imagine & pretend? No thanks....lol....bob has got to go

Why would anyone want to imagine and pretend???you are a Wilder fan are you not?? Isn’t it your vivid imagination that tells you Ortiz will KO Joshua? Not only that but pretending that it is perfectly normal Ortiz is WBC no 2 contender even though he was knocked out less than 5 months ago.
