    But he isn't, which is why Teo laughed and turned the fight down.

    He’s got a higher ppv than Teo. And that wasn’t Tanks doing. None of these newer guys are bigger than Garcia in terms of marketability. He knows it too and is using it to his full advantage.

    Being champ has nothing to do with anything, this is basic stuff here. Record and resumes don’t matter.

    He doesn't know it, and he isn't using it to his advantage.

    He's tried strong arming the world champion and failed.

    Maybe he'll make someone else accept being the b side, but he hasn't done it with Teo.

    How did he fail? He’s got bigger ppv sales than any of his peers. He’s clearly using boxing as a springboard to something else.

    Well this is boxing. He's failed to secure a fight against a boxing champion. Teo laughed his offer away.

    I don't get finance fans like you. I'm a fan of boxing, so I want to see the best fight each other and prove they are the best.

    I don't care who the A side is, but I do know in a contest between the LWW champion and a guy who just got sparked at LW, the champion is the one calling the shots.

    No it's not.

    $1.5m is an insulting lowball offer for a two-division lineal and Ring Magazine champion, coming from an Instagram boxer who has never even been in a real world title fight, let alone won a world title

    Not a finance fan at all. Hate it but I’m not blind to the reality either. Being champ doesn’t make one the a side.

    Tank shouldve fought all those guys by now too but he found time to face the Social Media star.

    Garcia’s handler was never a serious about this fight. They aren't going to throw him at Teo after suffering a stoppage loss to Davis. That is why he is fighting can crusher Duarte instead.

    Hell, why not? Easy a KO as he could ask for in front of more people than know his name. A tune up fight for a million and a half plus he humbles an "influencer". The publicity is probably worth more than the money. He's gonna waste his prime. 30 years from now you'll be able to buy a used Chevy from Teofimo And His Dog Spot. :facepalm:

    Well you contribute to the issue by perpuating the myth.

    But also, as I've repeatedly said. Teo turned the fight down laughing, so he can't possibly be the B side. He still has his world champion status, Garcia still is on the comeback grail looking for a victory over someone.
