I don't care about how much these dudes getting paid, I just want to see the best fight the best.
Exactly.
I don't know when all this money talk became a thing.
It didn't use to be like that in boxing.
It was all behind closed doors.
Contracts and negotiations don't have anything to do with the fans anyways.
I honestly couldn't care less about what an athlete makes either.
We just want to see the best possible matchups.

The big one is here in 2 days. I got Spence but expect Garcia to look good for the first few rounds. Win Win for Mikey either way as long as he doesnt get brutally beaten down by Spence (which can happen). If Mikey wins, he is obviously pound for pound number 1. If Errol doesnt win spectacularly, maybe that will entice the other dudes to fight him.
Garcia is definitely confident for real and Spence will have to beat that out of him. I hope Errol doesnt overthink it.
He'll definitely climb the P4P rankings, but being number one is out of the question.
Even if Mikey pulls off the upset, he still wouldn't be ahead of Crawford, Usyk, Canelo, or Lomachenko.

Hmm, I see what is going on with the DAZN and other entities. They are trying to put the squeeze on Al Haymon. Thing is. From what I got from the boxers he looks out for their interest. One thing boxer got to have is trust. Boxing is a dangerous game and most fighters don't want to be the fighter walking around with slurred speech, and they want some of that money they earned when they get through throwing hands. Trust, Fidelity is most important in the field.

I respectfully disagree Boss....Garcia is already a top 10 pound for pound boxer right now and a win over Spence would be better than any win of the 4 you mentioned in terms of name and perceived danger to the fighter ...GGG is a bigger name than Spence but he wasn't the favorite over Canelo in the way that Spence is over Mikey....wont matter though, rooting for Errol

I dunno man....
Lets remove Lomachenko based on the perceived danger factor.
Canelo's fights with GGG, Lara and Cotto were dangerous and he beat all three.
Usyk and Crawford cleaned out their divisions and became undisputed.
That alone would still keep them ahead of Mikey if he upsets Errol, IMO.

But, he isn't.

Cats, internet-wide, are going to be crying on Monday morning.

"Spence is a weight bully."
"Spence forced Mikey to fight (despite Mikey asking for it)."
"Spence is on steroids."
"Spence should be fighting at 168."
"That liver shot Spence landed was low."

Canelo isnt considered number one P4P now though...Loma and Crawford battle that spot out from the general consensus...sorry Boss, still got Mikey over everyone if he were to pull off the monumental upset

How the hell is Canelo not the best p4p when he has the best resume and it’s not CLOSE AT ALL.

Mikey hasn't cleaned out the division that he's in.
So how can he be considered P4P #1 if he pulls off the upset?
He hasn't established any dominance at 135 yet.

Usually I would agree. But I give him respect to go up 7 lbs and immediately fight the big bad wolf at 147. If he wins a clear majority, I’ll give it to him.

Gives an incentive to make good fights rather than fighting Collazo again.

With that said, Spence gonna beat the brakes off that boy - 8th round towel throw
