Danny Garcia wanted to fight Sam Eggington

[Fitzy901]

Was offered Gavin or Eggington by Hearn and came back with a measly 100k offer for Eggington.

Source is boxing news online.

Hearn said this in his latest IFL, I almost collapsed

I could see Gavin working as u tune up for Garcia, former top level ameteur, British champion, world title challenger and arespectable looking record on paper. He also has the skillset and solid enough chin to be competetive for a few rounds.

But I can't see his fans standing for Eggington as an opponent, particularly after the Rod Salka fiasco.

Might of been a world title challenger but never earned the right to challenge for the title,it was a british affair to line the pockets of the hearns and brook

[Taansend]

The title is misleading.

I doubt if Garcia has ever heard of Sam

[Fitzy901]

His team was offered the choice of the two, they went away and had a look and came back with "we like the Eggington fight."

[tigermoth87]

Is anyone actually shocked that Garcia went for the easiest option?

[emallini]

This exposes the keyboard warriors on forums. Garcia has people working for him who find him fights. HE DIDNT CHOOSE EGGINGTON YOU CLUESS FUCKS HE HASNT EVEN HEARD OF HIM.

Doubt he had heard of Rod Salka either

I'm aware of that, I'm just saying that from a marketing stand point he could do a lot worse than Gavin, as opponents go.

Eggington fits the profile for a Garcia opponent. Doesn't seem interested in fighting the top guys. A lot of noise and not enough action as usual from his camp. He's a good fighter but he's not as good as his arsehole of a dad tells him he is and he's rode his luck in a few fights now.

I don't think you can talk about being a keyboard warrior lol. Didn't you get run out of Salford?

No one outside of the Salka family had

There's a Sam Eggington fan club in every state in the USA! They are known as the EggHeads and if you cut them they bleed Sam Eggington

[THEBUTCH]

No disrespect to Eggington, but Garcia is way out of his reach. Bradley Skeete would be more feasible, but even then.....

[PredatorHayds]

I'm under the impression that Garcia is happy to take keep busy fights hoping he gets the Mayweather comeback fight.
He's not taking any risks jeopardising that.

Same mate. Certainly seems that way. Plenty big fights to be made at 147.

[magwitch]

Garcia is a good fighter, I like his confidence in himself, but I thought Lamont Peterson beat him by about 3 or 4 rounds tbh. Where’s Peterson at in his career now? Still operational?

I believe his Dad plays a big role in him fighting subpar opposition, he's all about guiding Danny to the easy money. Shame as i like Danny as a fighter, he really needs to be doing more with his career.

Yeah I'd agree with that. He is a good fighter but his dad is that much of a pudendum he puts me off lol.
