PBC is gonna save boxing, lol.
I didn't expect Danny to dig too deep to look for a challenge. He is still hanging all his glory on those Khan and Matthysse wins. The same fans patting Danny on the back and calling this a good fight are the same folks who criticized Pac for fighting him four years ago after coming off of a KO loss a year prior.

The bottom line is, he fought Thurman. So we can't pretend to overlook that for whatever reason we decide is fact.

Like I said, there are a lot of fans out there saluting Danny for fighting Rios, but slammed Manny for fighting him. Not sure if you were one of them but that s my point.

Originally posted by GhostofDempsey View PostDanny Garcia says otherwise. He said he was offered between $3-$4 million and declined the offer. Even if Arum never add the offer Danny still went on record declining the fight for twice his biggest payday ever.

So as I was saying, you can't say he is living off Khan & Matthysse when he fought Thurman last year. Trying to explain it away with conjecture doesn't change that.

It doesn't change the fact that Garcia/Rios is a mismatch and PBC lost a half a billion putting on these sort of matches. I guess Morales wasn't available for a trilogy.
