I don't think that he can also thrive in this division, he is good at 140-147 but I would say that fighting big guys, he was exposed and his left hook was not that effective anymore.

Maybe he will have a edge in talent, but power Benavidez is +1 for me.

As for his father, I do agree, both father trainer has a big mouth, so just imagine if both Lopez and Garcia fought and their fathers taking the limelight because of their loud mouth.

^^I agree, Garcia was one of the best welterweight in his prime, become a champion and if I'm not mistaken, lost the belt to Spence. So we will see both fighters that I would say still have some in their tank in 154 lbs specially for Danny "Swift" Garcia who is going up in another division to maybe chase another belt. I think though he bet Porter, he has really very choosy on that fight, not letting his hands go but when he does, it usually was in target. But we all know how Porter his, swarming his opponents and then throwing volume punches and that is enough for the judges to give him a close win. So hopefully Garcia again can renew his career at this division. I don't like his Father though, him and Teo Sr.

Yeah saw this one, hehehhe, the typical Broner, but it was really comical and once he open his mouth, even the host is laughing at him. At least he is still trying to sell this fight, and probably Al Haymon and Espinoza is also chuckling when they watch this press conference.

@YuginKadoya - Yes, I posted about the Danny Garcia fight here,

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60466186

Seems like everyone forget about him already hehehe, as he lost to 3 of the best WW we have right now, Spence, Thurman and Porter.

I hope that Manny can take action, boxing really needs a boxer as iconic as him, above all I would like him to have that great well-deserved rematch with Mayweather, that for me that fight was very unfair, and something controversial where there is many things that were not clear to me, and where clearly the judges seemed to me to be very biased, perhaps at that time it was convenient for him to win and not a Filipino, because to speak truthfully, what Mayweather did was run around the ring and get behind each technical gesture taking advantage of his height, which is not very pleasant.Although I think the only thing these two can do for now is exhibition fights.

All information was from TAPOLOGY

And this is the video for those who are very interested to see his reactions:

And as explain by Brian, he said that this is the protocol since we are still in Covid. But it seems that AB didn't know that. But yeah, reaction is very funny, typical of Broner, so win or lose you gonna love him for saying things like this in public and then can't back up his words in the actual fight.

Lol, this is a slap to Broner's face and yeah it was a bitch move being pulled by Al Haymon and Espinoza, 

Anyhow, Broner should understand that he is no longer the A-Side of any of the fights moving forward, (well this could be his last one). So he should understand it, I think this is just the beginning of the press conference?

And if I'm not mistaken, Kambosos was also done this way because obviously, he is in Australia and then Haney was still back in the US that time.

I can really imagine his face and how furious he was when he found out that their press conference will just happen online rather than face-to-face. I can see that he's so itching to say his script and act like a clown the whole time Broner was totally devastated and felt disrespected about this because he ranted about Mayweather's fight against a YouTuber.

Update on Adrien Broner's fight with Omar Figueroa. There was an online press conference for their August 20 fight. But AB talked for just a few minutes and then left. Here is what About Billions said before disconnecting himself. 

Broner was obviously not happy with Showtime and Al Haymon for setting that conference online instead of a face-to-face with a live audience and press. He felt disrespected. Come on PBC and Showtime! The Problem is ready with his costume and then you told him that the press conference will happen online?

Mayweather was sure enough scared that time of Pacquiao as he's trying to make things up and throwing nonsense just to make the rematch impossible, he surely knew that if that rematch materialized, he won't have a flawless record anymore and probably retire with 1-2 defeat in his record because there's a high chance that a trilogy might happen too.

Let's just wait if ever Pacquiao and Mayweather will share a ring again soon or Pacquiao will have some fight with other fighter, I bet he's still resting now after that presidential race that he's been busy for months.

Not a real fight. Not recommended at their age, they would need a medic right inside the ring by now if they still fight like 2015. The one that I may see will probably just Youtubers like the Paul brothers vs Pacman. Same with Tyson who are up for it. 

Hard to find warriors today that will bring people of the world to stop what they are doing and watch a boxing match. You don't see them anymore but Tyson and Pacman did it. If its  possible to still bring them inside the ring, a promoter might do it.

Or we may hear a lot of demands from Mayweather's camp before he will sign the deal for exhibition fight with Pacquiao.
Because knowing Pacquiao's personality, he doesn't give much of a trouble, he will fight if his fans are asking for it.
So if this rumor is true, more than likely, it would be years in the making again just like what happened on their 2015 fight.
Maybe, they will come into terms to fight at age 50 and beyond.  So we should not hope to see them inside the ring very soon.

We're over with their exhibitions. Too bad Floyd didn't fight Pac while he is in his prime. Out come would have been different. He has to put up all the excuses in the world from drug to std test.

Most probably Pac is honing himself again with a Korean youtuber this time. It could just be a preparation for another exhibition fight, this is what  popular legends in boxing do these days. Although its not a real boxing, they still profit from fake boxing like WWE.

How so? I think a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will generate huge cash flows for both sides and I'm kind of sure that Mayweather would happily accept it if the price is right and surely that comes a condition of course, I bet one of those conditions is that he will receive the bigger slice. Typical Mayweather but yes, let's see if this rumor will do come true soon.

Yeah as a fan I really hope he finds peace of mind and does not chase a win anymore, he has done enough and I think fans that surely know about boxing don't really mind because in Pacquaio's prime we know what he is really capable of but nothing really lasts forever and that prime will surely diminish in due time a boxer's speed and power but not the legacy he has brought to the country and the people, I will still be a fan on his exhibition match but as a boxing fan and not with his political views, 


I can not assume if an exhibition match surely has a script or not, but preferably that will feel like you are watching a WWE match, in my opinion with the Mayweather VS McGregor match I really think it was not scripted at all I think Conor McGregor will not tolerate a scripted fight nor Floyd Mayweather,

Manny Pacquaio already has an exhibition match against DK Yoo, a Martial arts Instructor, and Youtuber this coming December this year, at least we could see Manny Pacquaio again inside the ring even though this is just an Exhibition match it is a worthwhile watch, here is the VIDEO if you haven't seen it yet,


A Conor McGregor fight will have to wait because Manny Pacquaio already has signed an exhibition match against Korean youtube DK Yoo, well there are full details if you have watch it on DK Yoo's channel, and see for yourself if he is a worth while fight for Manny Pacquaio,

Yes, I heard about the rumor about Manny fighting Conor in exhibition, similar type of fight that Conor did with Floyd years ago that become the 2nd highest PPV in history.

So as other may have said, this could be the start of a new career for Pacquiao, maybe some of us fans will not agree because it could hurt his legacy but for sure he is already a future hall of famer. And there is nothing wrong with having exhibition fights if it can bring more money not just for Manny for other former boxers as well.

If the fight with Mayweather will not happen, then I think Conor will be the next target. Actually, there's a rumor that they are supposed to fight before but when Conor gets injured in his MMA fight, that rumor was gone since Conor will need a year to recover from a serious injury.

But maybe even in exhibition fight, Mayweather will still refuse to have a rematch with Manny. But we will see, we thought that Floyd will not fight Conor but he did for the love of money.

So when the money is right for sure he will accept it, but there could be more conditions and still wanted to remain undefeated even in exhibition and fix fight. 

Well, we can already assume what would happen because there is surely some script on the fighters involved if we speak about exhibition match, except if that exhibition match is an was consisted of MMA fighter vs boxer in the ring just like Mayweather-McGregor fight.

If Manny will have an exhibition fight soon, I bet it would be Mayweather on his first list because they didn't got a rematch when both of them are still fighting professionally but we can't be certain that there will be no script on that.

Yeah, all of them are going into that state when they're past due with their prime.

But it seems that he's eager to have another match soon as this news pops all over the web and many are surprised and as well as happy for his comeback.

Well, for fans that do understand that it's no longer the same as before, we would want him to choose peace and settlement for himself since he's proven that much already.
