I love both of these fights. Mikey vs Pac is winnable, but Crawford? Props to Mikey for his willingness to take on the champs.

He should get back to 135 or 140. I think Pac beats him but wouldn't be surprised if Garcia managed to get a decision but Crawford would beat him up badly. 140 is his limit. Some good fights there for him. Loma at 135 would be awesome.

Garcia is 32 years of age. He wants the biggest paydays before he hangs up his gloves, hence the reason why he competes in the wrong weight class, because if he prioritised on sporting glory, he'd still be campaigning at 135lbs.

Mikey is obviously not too bothered about being beaten, because otherwise he wouldn't be taking so many unecessary risks. He simply wants the pay cheque instead.

Waste of time, he’s a tourist in a division he doesn’t belong in, he needs to drop down and start trying to create a legacy at a weight that suits him, I want to see fights between fighters at their best which means being at your perfect fighting weight not trying to bag big money fights in divisions you don’t belong in.

Translation: Mikey Garcia wants a giant paycheck.

Arum already said that Mikey's financial requirements are unreasonable.

He said that about a potential Josh Taylor fight if I remember right. Maybe they should offer what they gave Khan. $5 million? It would be a better fight. Mikey Garcia is a recognizable name, which Crawford needs as well. I don't see Crawford going after Thurman, Danny Garcia, or Porter, and Spence is still out.

And has already made Garcia look like a helpless infant anyway.

Yep, so if Crawford is not as dominant, then his stock will fall.

Mikey Garcia sued Top Rank.

This week, Bob Arum claimed that he’s not interested in promoting a fight for Mikey Garcia, because he wants obscene money that only DAZN are willing to fork out.

If the rumour mill proves to be correct, it seems as though Crawford will be facing the unranked Kell Brook next, even though it’s been more than four years since the Brit last won a bout at 147lbs. And his only victory over a world-rated fighter happened almost six years ago.

Eddie Hearn claims he’s trying to make this fight.

And Eddie also claimed that he was trying to orchestrate a bout between his man, Mikey Garcia, and Manny Pacquiao.
