It’s a perfect match if you wanna see a train wreck
but I don’t see Garcia’s management team letting it happen
In a long-overdue move, the World Boxing Association stripped Manny Pacquiao of his WBA Super World welterweight title and elevated Yordenis Ugas as the new Super champion.
It was a move that the WBA should have arguably made months ago, as the 42-year-old Pacquiao hasn’t defended his title in 18 months, and there’s talk that he’s going to be facing Ryan Garcia next in an exhibition match.
With that fight expecting to be Pacquiao’s next match, it meant that the WBA title wouldn’t be defended soon.
Ryan and Pacquiao could be fighting in April or May in their exhibition match.
Under the best possible scenario, Pacquiao wouldn’t until October or November before he defended the title.
Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) is WBA ‘Champion in Recess’ now, so he can fight for his old title against Ugas later on if he wishes. However, Manny would face many risks to face Ugas, and it wouldn’t be a big money fight.
That’s why it’s not likely that Pacquiao will look to reclaim his WBA title because it’s not worth the risk involved for him.
“I’m getting ready to fight Manny,” said Ryan Garcia earlier today on social media. ”
Fans have been overwhelmingly negative towards the news of Pacquiao facing Ryan Garcia in an exhibition match. It would be palatable if Manny and Ryan were to fight in a real match, but fans want to pay to see Pacquiao waltz around the ring in a glorified sparring match with 22-year-old Ryan Garcia on pay-per-view.
Ryan is seen as a Youtuber/Instagram fighter and not the real thing by people. He acts like he’s a world champion, but he’s done nothing to capture titles. But with Ryan being a popular Instagram/YouTuber, he’s got a lot of followers and is more popular than most of the world champions.
There’s a lot of money potentially there for Pacquiao if he and Ryan sell their exhibition fight on PPV. Suppose the teenagers that follow Ryan on social media are willing to pay to see if they fight Pacquiao, Pacquiao would benefit.
For the average boxing fan who prefers to see real fights and is sick of seeing exhibition Youtubers make a mockery of the sport, they won’t be happy to learn of Pacquiao and Ryan fighting an exhibition match.
Although Muhammad Ali fought an exhibition fight against a professional wrestler Antonio Inoki in 1976, that match came late in Ali’s career after capturing world titles and already became a legend.
Ryan hasn’t proven anything in the sport. All he’s done is beaten a bunch of fringe contenders and called out Tank Davis. Ryan isn’t at the point in his career where he should be fighting exhibition matches. That’s for old-timers, not for young fighters that haven’t done anything yet.

Garcia loses against Lopez, Tank, and probably Haney.
They aren't confident in him winning against any of those guys, so if he gotta lose his 0 he gotta cash out now against Pacman?
Oscar a fool for this one.. Better hope he don't get slumped.

its too early for him to face top tier guys, he has to be groomed slowly, if you push him too quick you'll ruin him
Manny Pacquiao-Ryan Garcia fight not happening, Golden Boy Promotions exec says
Ryan Garcia's dream of stepping into the ring to take on Manny Pacquiao will have to remain just that for now, according to his promoter.
Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes the 22-year-old Garcia (21-0, 18 KOs), told ESPN Knockout that a fight between the two isn't in the cards.
"There's nothing to talk about there," Golden Boy executive Eric Gomez told ESPN. "They contacted us, but it turns out there's nothing to talk about. That fight isn't going to happen."
However, Guadalupe Valencia, who represents Garcia told The Athletic that the door is still open for the fight to take place.
"We're discussing terms," Valencia said. "Manny and Ryan want it and instructed their teams to make it happen. That's what we're trying to accomplish."
Pacquiao designated WBA 'champion in recess'
Garcia, the interim WBC lightweight titleholder who defeated Luke Campbell by knockout on Jan. 2, posted on Instagram this week a mock-up poster promoting a potential fight between him and Pacquiao.
"You get a call and somebody says, 'You can fight Manny Pacquiao.' What are you going to say to that?" Garcia told ESPN.
Valencia told ESPN on Friday that there is high interest in a non-exhibition bout between the boxers and mentioned the last week of April or first week of May as a possible date. Valencia said Pacquiao's representatives reached out first to gauge interest.
However, Gomez said Pacquiao's group was new to boxing, so there wasn't anything to build on or discuss. He added that after he and Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya met with Top Rank's Bob Arum, he considers lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez to be Garcia's next potential opponent.
"Teofimo is more feasible," Gomez said. "It's one of the fights that's obviously of interest to Ryan Garcia. It could be a great fight."
Pacquiao's last fight came on July 19, winning a split decision over Keith Thurman for the WBA's welterweight title. The 42-year-old Pacquiao (62-7-3, 39 KOs) was designated a "champion in recess" Friday by the organization.

Exactly. He should stay far away from Manny for now. Maybe get him in his retirement fight or something...
lmao he's 22 years old
when did this narrative shift they gotta be damn near 30 before you start fighting real competition lmao
22-25 has always been the most active years for a top level boxer they are usually at the top of their division, a champion, and the fighting their peers
my bad i thought he was 19-20. either way they gotta protect him, if he aint ready dont throw him to the wolves
if oscar wants this kid to be ruined so be it....pacquiao is not at the point of "done" that somebody of garcia's current skillset/problems can really take advantage of
its incredibly stupid
its incredibly stupid
He shouldn't be calling out Tank then and all that shyt, its ridiculous
Mayweather and Corrales were 22 when they fight, both undefeated, biggest fight in the division the two best fighters in the division lmao
you can't get to be a big star until you beat your peers thats how you get the A side clout then you start that money marinating shyt from there
you can't do that shyt from the jump lmao, these new nikkaz got the game fukked up all the way
