At least to a degree. Spence is simple convenience with same network, promotions and evidently an available date. But I wouldn't pay for it, not a dollar. What gets me is the Showtime announce team and Spence talk about a potential Mikey 'event' like it's a showcase side project as they sit there hyping Spence unification early next year with Garcia v Porter winner. Again same network etc.


    I don't know about trinket collecting legitimizing a guy as one of an era. Many many guys have won multiple division belts. Crazy thing is Mikey wins them and until last Saturday he has walked away from them. Mikey is a fantastic talent and a genuinely straight forward guy but I look at 140 on that 5'6 frame and he's simply not bulking on 147+ and walking onto Spence like he did Easter and Lipinets. It'll end brutally for him.
    Mikey is completely willing to deal with them. He just isn’t willing to sign extended promotion contracts beyond the fight he works with them. That is completely fair.

    I’m not sure why Mikey should have to sell his career to get a fight. Frankly, it’s extortion by the promoters.
    You're right in what you say, but this is nothing new . I admire Garcia standing his ground, and I really like him as a Boxer and his attitude. But more often than not , there comes a time , like @Spicoli said that you have to make a deal you would rather not . Even Floyd had to take a high finance risk by buying himself out of a contract , and it worked for him , but not everybody is Floyd.
    what I Don't agree with is that @Spicoli said he wouldn't pay a Dollar for it. I would definitely pay for it.

    Honestly bud and speaking for no one but myself it feels a bit like Showtime and the proposed scenario are taking fans for granted. Just because a 'big name' match is easily made doesn't mean it should be. Not to mention an out of division mega fight made for the sake of making one. You want to enter a huge PPV match up thinking it will be even and competitive..not hoping it will be. Love Spence, love Mikey but keeping my loot should this come off.
