米奇.加西亚说；“与洛马琴科的这场战斗可能是付费观看，因为所有的拳迷都一直在关注。我们是147磅以下的中坚，没有其他名字可以产生这样的关注度，我很乐意为此而努力。”
洛马琴科的经理说；“万一计费比赛失败，结果会很糟糕。我认为，这场比赛需要时间来建立”。
Mikey Garcia Feels Lomachenko Clash Could Become PPV Clash
On Saturday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) scored two knockdowns and eventually stopped Miguel Marriaga (25-3) in seven rounds for a TKO win.
Marriaga was dominated, went down in the third and the seventh, and the Colombian's corner stopped the contest at the conclusion of the seventh.
The fight headlined an ESPN televised card - with Lomachenko ** his debut on the network.

Lomachenko is now looking for the biggest opponent possible, but not many of them are biting.
But WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs) says he is more than willing to face him - if Lomachenko moves up.
On Thursday, the two fighters met face to face for the first time at ESPN’s L.A. Live building. Both of them were present for separate televised interviews.
While Lomachenko claimed Garcia was standing firm on the requirement that Showtime televise their fight, Garcia states that he's willing to take their fight to whoever puts up the most money.
Last Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Garcia moved up to the welterweight division and dominated Adrien Broner over twelve rounds. Garcia plans to return to the lightweight limit of 135 for either Lomachenko or a unification with WBA champion Jorge Linares.
Garcia believes the encounter with Lomachenko could become a pay-per-view event.
“This fight [with Lomachenko] could be on pay-per-view because all the fans have been asking about it,” Garcia said to the Los Angeles Time. “We’re the main names [below 147 pounds]. No other names can generate that kind of attention. I’m more than happy to work at it.”
However, Lomachenko's manager, Egis Klimas, does not agree with that direction. He believes the contest would need more seasoning to become a pay-per-view attraction.
“The worst thing we can do is go on pay-per-view and fail,” Klimas said. “It needs to be built.” |
