    Well which one is it ? Loma ducking Garcia or Mikey wanting to take another route because of $$$ ?

    Its hard to compare Top Rank or Golden Boy to PBC. Al Haymon doesnt run his company in a traditional way. He eliminated the promoter out of the equation and got hundreds of millions of $ from a hedge fund using Mayweather's name and selling the false hope of turning boxing into the UFC with his PBC belt that never materialized. He was brilliant but nobody can repeat that feat

    I say lets wait for 2019 to see what will happen...but you already hit the ground running with your " Loma making 1M and Garcia demanding 3-4 times that" BS

    When did Garcia make 3 -4 M purses ? Against whom ? He never headlined a PPV as far as I know

    you are right, i am wrong, for some reason i thought i read that mikey was making several million vs spence, but now i cant find where i read it.
    both mikey and easter walked away from their first scheduled fight because neither one was getting what they wanted, both confirmed it. as soon as the promoters saw these guys werent budging, the funds became available. tell me, if i look in your post history, will i find any posts from you suggesting mikey is ducking anyone like i would with the idiots i mentioned?
    as far as al and arum, all that is the kind of excuse you accused me of being the type to bring up. the money is there for the fighters, whether the risk is worth it to the promoter is a whole other story.

    Don't let this fight not happening distract you from the fact that Adrien Broner clowned his way into a fight with Pacquiao before Amir Khan did.

    Khan vs Broner in England 2019.

    God no. I expect him to do his best Mayweather 2013 , chicken wing , Andre Berto broken shoulder roll all the way to a UD loss.
    Broner doesn't know who he is as a fighter anymore. Pacquiao should be easily victorious. I just feel for Khan ,who literally begged foryears for a fight with either Pacquiao or Mayweather.

    No, you're probably right about Mikey making 3-4-5 M vs Spence but he wasnt making this kind of money before. And it is a PPV fight, same as Garcia vs Loma would be. Before this, his biggest purse was probably against Broner. I'm not a Garcia hater, I like him, you can waste your time if you want, but what triggered me was you saying Mikey makes 3x more than Loma and I dont think thats true. He'd have to be a superstar to make that $$$ on a regular basis

    Arum was very public about his offer to Mikey. There's a video with either fight hype or Seckbach, and Bob was saying " if Al or Robert call me my offer is 2M +PPV %, same as Lomachenko, and if they dont want it they can F off , I aint negotiating"
    I remember people were saying that Arum doesnt want it because he wont budge. So I am curious to see if Mikey's purse against Spence is comparable to that.

    ok, sounds reasonable. if mikey loses to spence, i expect him to ask for no more than 3 million, as he will still hold the belts loma wants and he will be in the ppv club, but loma is still his true super fight. i dont think 3 million is unreasonable for a fight of this magnitude for either fighter. if he gets stupid asking for money, i will call him out on it myself.
    i saw a video of robert talking about crawford vs mikey when someone asked him about it. robert mentioned that they have been in talks with top rank about loma vs mikey in 2019 and they were all in agreement that it will get made. some guy from top rank( i forget his name), walked over and confirmed they were all on board. robert said jokingly that arum didnt even mention crawford for mikey, it wasnt even a consideration.
    i think both camps want it, too much money to leave lying around. thats why i mess with the lomasexuals when mentioning the things loma says that contradict their fantasies about him. but i dont accuse loma of ducking.

    LOL. You’re Mikey’s chief apologist.

    And your KO prediction is hilarious too. More likely Mikey will quit like he did against Salido.

    It could be so... Well, at least Loma wants this fight. Mikey, for whatever reason, is definitely not too excited about it.

    Still might see it although after Spence gets through with him Mikey might be damaged goods.

    I see you’re still trying to get some credibility around here by throwing my name around. Keep trying, puñeta!
