    Disagree.

    Top Rank offered Danny Garcia and Adrien Broner $4 million to fight Pacquiao (both declined and lost to Thurman/Garcia for way less money).

    Top Rank is known to offer lowball offers for fights. Broner is/was a draw, offering him 4 mil for Pacquaio was a **** offer to be fair. Same for Garcia, Garcia had belts why did he need to take a lowball offer. Why did Top Rank offer such a **** amount to Salido for the Loma rematch. It’s not like Loma was a draw and he lost so he wasn’t the A side so he most certainly didn’t deserve almost double that of Salido especially considering Loma lost. Also offering M. Garcia peanuts to fight Loma even though Mikey is clearly the draw between the two them.

    On the Salido case: The A side is the bigger draw. Logic says that would be Loma since he has had the higher ratings. And supposedly the 750k would have been Salidos biggest purse.
    But that is in the past now.

    And how is Mikey clearly the bigger draw? You got numbers to back it?
    And was there ever an offer made to Mikey? I know GBP offered Mikey the Linares fight but supposedly Mikey made more fighting Lipinets.

    Bro Loma was the A side in the first Salido fight guess what Loma lost so now in the rematch he’s the B side in negotiations point blank period that’s how boxing as always worked. B side gets screwed on most negotiation points then if they win they get to dick over the other guy the 2nd time around. Also it doesn’t matter if 750k would have been his biggest purse, 40 million would have been Pacquaio did he had accepted the flat fee.
    Go do your research Mikey was offered the fight but him and bobfather said the same thing basically. Mikey wanted more money than they offered, bob said it was too much. Which is always Arums excuse when high profile fights can’t be made.” I was lying that time ,this time I’m telling the truth”

    Not really. Did Salido get to **** over JuanMa?
    Mayweather-De La Hoya was supposed to happen at 147 but fell apart due to the money.
    Alvarez-GGG ended in a draw but in most eyes Alvarez was still the A side.
    Well, Pacquiao-Mayweather was PPV so there was upside to the purses. That's not the case with fights on regular ESPN. But your point still somewhat stands.
    I can't find anything real on Mikey vs Loma.
    All i found was Mikey's team making dumb comments and Bob complaining about nothing.

    Dude, Mikey Garcia walked away from Linares and Cotto. Mikey's a diva, plain and simple.

    I mean if walking away from deals that don’t fit your best interest makes you a diva then you’re correct. But that makes GGG, Canelo, Joshua, Wilder divas along with a huge list of others

    Broner is out of that. Garcia is sort of not in the picture much. Porter. Really Thurman is the guy who could move on and see how he does vs. the Spence or Crawford level.

    But Mikey's not a superstar and not as big as Golovkin/Canelo/Joshua. He doesn't have a Canelo/Wilder to make a PPV superfight. And Loma doesn't bring the same magnitude of interest as Golovkin/Joshua. He should have fought Cotto and he would have that massive name on his ledger.

    Those were just some diva comments by Arum. Nothing about actual negotiations.
    Nothing about dates, venues, network or numbers.

    The only one of those guys I'd call a clown is Broner. One Time is just Done Time. So he's into married life and has made enough dough to never need to work again. Fine. Wish he would just call it a day and hang em' up. Not a clown, however. Porter? He'll fight any welter except Spence apparently. Nothing wrong with that if he's not holding a belt hostage. Danny Garcia? His old man's a clown and he's got at least one W I don't think he oughta' have. That doesn't make him a clown though.

    All that said, I sure wish Al's fighters would fight more...
