    Lightweight to WW seems to be the hardest jump in the sport. I soo want Garcia to win, but he's going to get beat up.

Same with Ward and Kov. they never sold tickets the way both Mikey and Spence have. And Kov and Ward never a big draw among the Mexican and Latino fans.
      I expect Spence/Garcia to have at least 40K paid attendance. I wouldn't be surprised if its above 50K.

          Spence EXTREMELY OVERRATED and Garcia knows this. Spence has started believing in his own hype, and the ONLY reason he has a belt is because he has fought smaller guys and got a rebound Kell Brook that GGG broke for him.

          Garcia, walks around at 165lbs. Spence walks around at 178. Despite the 13lb muscle mass advantage, Garcia has a better chin, better skills and more heart.

          Garcia will get robbed of a decision victory in this fight. Haymon will protect the African American.

            Hmm not sure about this, if Mikey could pull it off that would be amazing, but, a lose lose situation for Spence.

              if they sell it for $30, it has a chance to do numbers.

                Beyond those three PPVs, you still get the Charlo brothers doubleheader, Keith Thurman's return bout, Porter-Ugas, Leo Santa Cruz coming back, Garcia-Lopez, and that's before we get the Showtime schedule for the first quarter and the FS1 schedule.

                Sad to see folks ***** about a first quarter schedule that will likely deliver 10 good fight cards and 3 more to pay for, lol.
                You sound bothered that PBC is straying away from what they said they were about. Defending their actions doesnt make it better though. All you have to do is realize the “free tv” angle was a scam.

                  A bit disappointed that this fight landed on PPV. It makes sense now why PBC signed boxers seem inactive.

                    I agree. As much respect I have for Mikey for making this move, in the back of my mind I was actually hoping he come to his senses and pull out.

                    It’s very probable that this fight turns a great fighter (Mikey) into damaged goods.

                      Yeah am not even going to defend that shit. The reason why I like PBC was the fact that they came in and offer good meaningful fights on free TV. Now they seem to have change that model. Three PPV within the next 4 months! I really hope they all bomb. Boxing need PPV to die.
