Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia's Father Says Pacquiao Deal is "Very Close" - Provides Details

[Fire4231]

What the **** is this Bull Slitz. So we don’t get the very appealing highly lucrative Tank vs Garcia but we do get an “exhibition,” fight between two active boxers? One currently an active champion?

No wonder boxing revenues are down, they are failing to make the great fights. Trash, Trash, trash. Oscar knows Ryan is his last big potential earner for a while. As result he is 22 and already being forced to duck fighters. Really liked Ryan but the promoters always push you to not support them. The kid doesn’t even have a legacy yet. Btw- Not paying for this isht.

This is why you will never be a fight promoter. You couldn't see opportunity if you ran face first into it.

Educate me where's the opportunity

Educate me where's the opportunity

You want me to explain to you the upside of fighting and beating an ATG like Manny Pacquiao?

Its funny you say that because he had a 144 CW with Algieri and it was stated by Roach they were testing the waters for 140, they never went there, Oscar said he could make 147 same 7lbs and it ruined him, Manny been at WW for 20 fights now I think 140 will hurt him today, as I said its easy to say you can do it.

Funny thing about weight, doesn't matter what weight you are the guy your fighting is the same weight there abouts because of the division, a flyweight fights a flyweight, when he grows into a LW he is no longer a flyweight if he weighs 135 he every bit a LW.

Today Manny is a WW people try to make him out to be a flyweight its totally irrelevant today because he grew into the divisions.

It depends upon the fighter. Donaire seems to have made the transition to a lower weight level(bantamweight) from a higher divisioin successfully even though he is 38 y/o already. He is even contemplating on going down further to superflyweight to win a regular world championship in a 5th weight division to improve on his legacy of being a recognized world champion in 4 weight divisions.
