The Situation At 140

[Alpha]

I also heard a rumor that they were looking at a WBSS at 140, including Mikey, Ramirez, Relikh, Flanagan/ Hooker, Broner, Lipinets, Prograis and Taylor.

That line up sounds awesome.

Those series are a good idea for divisions without much going on. Good way to drum up interest.

I reckon Garcia should look to wipe out this division, because if he goes up to 147, I reckon Spence and Crawford will have way too much for him.

Do you think there are matches at 140 that will pay well enough to interest him?

That’s a very good question, but I look at it a different way. Within 1-2 fights at 147, he will likely get overpowered and beat and “exposed” and his value quickly diminishes.
Whereas if his stock continues to rise at 140, his p4p credentials and standing in the game increases, and then a possibility of Loma coming up that far. That should make him a few bucks.

I think that you are probably correct in that line of thinking. But I wonder how much value he places on winning a title in another weight class, which I figure he can do; he would most likely defeat either Mattyhsse or Pac. After that, his options would be severely limited.

I agree. At 140, he becomes a very legit p4p fighter. Then he can move up once he cleans out the division and get the big payday fights.

Mikey jumps weight so much, many will give him a pass for rising to 147 to take Matthysse's belt, then doing back to 140. I'm not saying I agree with it but 5 divisional titles looks good on a legacy.
