I don't understand how you have 2 California guys and you make them fight in Texas??

Staples center
Coliseum
The Forum
Dodger Stadium
Angel Stadium
Ducks Stadium
Old San Diego Chargers Stadium
Idk but does Eddie Hearn not understand how to promote a West coast battle

You beat me
To it, I was just about to post that. It makes no sense. I am thinking that Hearn assumes the big 47,000+ ticket sales for the spence fight was more
About Garcia than Spence and he’s hoping that Tejanos show up. If that were the case he should have chosen San Antonio or Houston. However neither man is a huge star. I don’t even think it’s a particularly compelling matchup but hey, get that money mikey and retire

Respect to Garcia, because after deciding to be a high profile moving punching bag, he’s re-upped with a tough customer in Vargas.

A good comeback fight indeed, he definitely doesn’t deserve Pac now. Vargas (once he’s been in the gym and wasn’t in loafting mode) is a good solid test.

Respeck(!) Garcia ain’t relegated to just collecting big checks....don’t think he would’ve gotten away with it (the Pac fight) anyway. The outcry from fans woulda been loud & wide...
