Comments Thread For: Garcia-Commey Not Next; Garcia-Spence Negotiations Progressing

Props to mikey for daring to be greasy but for PBC to have said they want to make boxing free for all they sure are hitting the fans pocketbook. December January February ppvs and we don’t even know about March yet. That’s $240 to buy those 3 cards or I could spend $170 and get DAZN and ESPN+ for the whole year.

And these aren’t big pay peer views either. They probably won’t do over a million buys bereeen all 3. 400k pac-Broner 300 k fury-wilder and 300k tips for mikey vs Spencer

Just so we're clear, you're suggesting that PBC will pull in north of $16M (8M for the fighters not including the live gate revenue) in PPV buys per event over a three month window.

That doesn't sound unsuccessful to me lol

I think people need to accept what we're witnessing. People said PBC didn't have a viable business model, but it's looking more and more like UFC everyday. Huge content deal ($125M annually) and consistent PPV revenue (at least $24M from Dec - Feb for the fighters based on your assumption).

This is a joke and it's a ****** move on Mikey's part. The guy is too freakin small for welterweight, hell, he looked tiny when he was sitting next to Thurman during an interview.

Why does Mikey insist on going up 2 weight classes? Is he a dumb a s s or does he see some kind of flaw in Spence? I don't know what to make of this.

Dude should just get the ibf mando out the way and have a mega fight with Lomachenko at 135 next year.

Mikey was the last lineal and IBF 140 champ...

GGG/Brook & Canelo/Khan type of ending to this fight

How sad that the only credible opponent Spence can get to fight him is a lightweight. What happened to all of Haymons welterweights?

Mikey is demanding the fight. Haymon has to keep him happy or he'll go to another network.

And then he went back down to 135 and dominated Easter.

140 is Mikey's limit (he looked pudgy vs Lipintes), he'll get killed at 147.

I wonder who he will actually fight.

He could beat a few of those top guys at 147 for sure. I dont think he beats Spence though. However, he's not "too small" for the class imo.
