Re: Danny Garcia vs Molina Jr ?
At this point I think Garcia is just another fight for Khan. I think the bravado aspect is long gone because Garcia hasn't really done anything since. (one of his greatest achievements in Matthyse tapered off because matthysse has tapered off). Khan has gone on to decision some ok fighters but by the time he got to them, none of them were undefeated (collazo was considered a has been and Algieri was considered by many to be a never was), then he showed balls by being Ko'd by CaƱelo... He knows he cant go much longer so he's looking for publicity big money fights (like cotto is). Safer is better but willing to trade faculties for dollars if the moneys right. (cottos not doing that) But Garcia doesn't bring that money so its not worth it in case garcia has the magic bullet (can produce that counter left hook that turned khan to jelly, whenever he likes)
Garcia /Molina is a smoke and mirrors thing Haymons hoping to get a barn burner out of and make good TV, rep PBC, keep the money in house and catapult someone (theoretically Garcia) to the world stage and throw his name into the mix of possible contenders for welter heir apparent. Lets face it, garcia hasn't faired well off home soil (or on if you count Puerto Rico)
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
