Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Confirms Talks With Team Pacquiao, Wants Spence

[Madison Boxing]

i will piss myself if he fights pacquiao which would leave spence hanging out to dry which serves him right. and i better not see any crawford fans like big dunn complaining cause theyve been looking for him to fight the corpse of pacquiao aswell, so lets not be hypocritical.

Yeah it's hard to spin this favorably.

Pacquaio deemed a terrible opponent and disgraceful of TR to give the much smaller Lomachenko this fight (I still think it will happen next year) but he's a great opponent for Crawford or Garcia? Nobody calls for Spence-Garcia yet Mikey gets a ton of praise for pretending he wants it and Spence gets no criticism for it happening whereas a lot of folks called for Loma-Rigo then trashed it AFTER the result didn't go as some wanted.

Spence really is being played though if it doesn't happen which it won't. He is in need of a big high profile fight and Thurman doesn't want to fight him, the Crawford fight is hard to make and Garcia has been name dropping him. For him to get played and end up fighting Collazo or something would suck. I think Spence deserves better.

i got to disagree with the last part mate i have no sympathy for spence at all after his whole 'im taking care of my side of the street' speech, its his choice to fight bums and delay going after crawford so this is whats gonna happen. cause im tellnig you now the garcia/porter winner arent going to fight him straight away after that which he shoud know, most fighters go through a pattern of one bum, one good opponent, rarely two hard ones in a row.

I think the "take care of this side of the street talk" is just reality. I think he's under those instructions. I think all those guys are and there is an order of fights there. It sucks but it is what it is.

He wants to fight at year's end, so does Loma. Problem solved

Loma don't want no part of Mikey in December and Arum has already had an opponent picked out for Loma for his next fight since Beltran won the title.

The 40 year ole version of Manny Pacquiao got beaten up by the likes of Jeff Horn - the same Jeff Horn who couldn't manage to win a single round against Terrance Crawford.

What is with this fascination with KOs? What does it matter that Garcia's last three wins went the distance? This is the sport of BOXING - not the sport of Knock Outs. Decision wins count just as much as KO wins - and last I checked, Pacquiao has problems with right handed counter punchers...

When you KO and opponent, they will say it was a lucky punch, but when you dominate an opponent for 12 rounds they get mad cause there was no KO. Manny could never KO Marquez, once Marquez KOs Pac, it was a lucky punch. Brook was dominating Spence and Spence got lucky that Brook injured his eye when he lost by KO according to Brook fans.

Either way he's taking his first "L".

The reality is that any top fighter who wants to fight Loma or Bud would have to agree to Arums terms or there is no fight. Which means accept the money offered and fight on ESPN. No way Arum allows those two to cross the street and fight on Showtime even if it meant making more money. Lower tier fighters advised by Haymon have agreed to Arums terms because Showtime has not invested money the way they have on top tier fighters like Spence, Mikey, Broner, Garcia and Porter.

Unless Mikey is willing to fight Manny in Asia, he will have to deal with Arum. This all proves Mikey is full of it. He is just playing games hoping Showtime and Haymon offer him more money for his next fight vs josesito Lopez.
