    Whats the real reason Loma hasnt fought Mikey G or Davis yet

    Ik Floyd is the decider in Davis so maybe he tryna build up the Loma clash 🤷*♂️. Idk about Mikey he he could have taken Loma instead if Spence.

    Mikey doesn't have a good relationship with Arum and Mikey wasn't confident he could get the deal done.

    Plus when Mikey signed to fight Errol, Lomachenko was recovering from surgery.

      Davis ducked the Lomachenko fight. Mikey only wants in-house fights for big money.

        Bob is not going to do business with Mikey after everything that happened.

        The Davis/Loma fight doesn't happen until its closer to a 50/50 fight. No way Floyd was going to make it when its an 80/20 or more in Loma's favor at this point in Davis career.

          Mikey just did a PPV against Spence and he’s possibly going to do another one against Danny Garcia. He’s clearly focused on money.

          Why deal with the headache that is Bob Arum when you’re doing just fine.

          Arum proved he has no plans to make Garcia vs. Lomachenko when he called Mikey the clear B-Side, which just isn’t very accurate.

            Bob Arum.. If Davis and MG were top rank Bob would have made the fight already so he can get his 30 percent from each fighter. Bob loves double dipping.

              Tank and Mikey want no part of Loma.

              Everyone knew Garcia vs Loma would be a huge fight but Mikey went up to welter to get his ass kicked by Spence because he "saw something". Plus there's the issue of Garcia's relationship with Top Rank. But, Loma would most certainly tell Bob, "I want that fight, make that fight. It's a unification. Offer him a good deal." Bob doesn't mind, he'd get to be involved in a huge fight. Mikey didn't want it.

              Tank is still young and I guarantee Haymon is saying to him: "You can fight Loma in 4 years when he's 35 and you're 29. Just keep fighting B and C-level fighters and making money while you're young. Why risk derailing the hype train?"

                  Bob is notoriously bad at making big fights outside of TR. Every one of Bob's big draws except Manny had their biggest fights outside of TR. Thats not a coincidence. The Mikey situation is even further complicated cuz of how Bob effed up 2yrs of Mikey's career.
