Smart move by Garcia & Pac.. You know Tank mad af about losin his money grab fight. He could always go see - Loma, Telfemo, Haney, or Shakur..

Why is that?
Garcia moving up two weight classes to fight Manny, who is clearly the better fighter. Garcia holding a 135 belt hostage, Manny holding a 147 belt hostage. Loads of talent at both weight classes that these guys can fight. If they want to make a cross promotional fight, they should have done Spence vs Crawford Like the people have been asking for. There’s a laundry list of why this is a black mark for boxing.

Why is that?

Manny is a champion in a strong division, but:
  • Hasn't fought since July 2019.
  • Basically overlooked other champions/contenders for a Connor McGregor fight.
  • Agrees to fight Ryan Garcia, who isn't a champion, and fights two divisions below him.
Garcia vs Pacquiao is essentially birthed out of the imaginations of fair weather, casual fans. There's great matchups to be made for both fighters, and to end up here feels like a cheapening of the sport.

Pac should give up his belt - but these cherry pick bouts is all he should be lookin at. Garcia gon get paid for losin to a legend.. That's smarter then get knocked out by Tank - for alot cheaper

Garcia got an interim title I think, he's not the world champ.

But that's another thing too. Everyone got a belt. The WBC got Teo as a franchise champ, Devin as the world champ, and I think Garcia as the interim?

Them titles don't mean shyt, and the organizations did it them damn selves.

I think you’re right. I know Haney is supposed to be Garcia’s mandatory but he was making a fight with Tank then scrapped it for a fight with Pac.

Waaaay too many belts in boxing. It’s overload.
