There is some concern and that’s why I made it clear that I wouldn’t go higher than 140,” Garcia said. “But he agreed, his team agreed, and it seems like he’s confident that he’s able to make 140. The last time he didn’t make it, maybe he wasn’t taking it that seriously. Maybe he was coming from personal issues and problems.
“I think now he’s probably more focused and ready to regain control of his career, and make the big name again. So he should be taking it very serious. And if he feels confident in making 140, then that’s great. That only makes for a much better fight. If he’s gonna be training better and preparing himself better to make the weight, then it’ll just make for a better fight.”
Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza said during the conference call that Broner would face a financial penalty if he weighs in higher than 140 pounds.
“My understanding is there is a weight penalty [in the contracts],” said Espinoza, Showtime Sports’ executive vice president and general manager. “We’re not gonna get into any details. But as you guys heard Adrien say, he agreed to it without much problem because he’s very confident he’ll make 140 for this big fight.”
Garcia isn’t sure if he would move forward with the fight if Broner can’t get down to 140 pounds.
“Well, we would have to consider options and consider other factors, to see if it’s still something that benefits me,” Garcia said. “Right now, we targeted 140 pounds, we agreed on 140, so that’s what I’m looking at. If later, before the fight, something that does come up, other issues, then I’ll make a decision at that point.”
Garcia couldn’t specify the monetary penalty Broner would face because, “There’s still some of the details that need to be finalized. But the fight is on and we both agreed at 140 pounds.” - See more at: Mikey Garcia Admits 'Some Concern' Broner Won't Make 140 Pounds - Boxing News

“I don’t know,” Spence said Thursday during an informal luncheon with reporters in Manhattan. “We’ll see. Only time will tell. I fought Kell Brook off a nine-month layoff, so I don’t see why he can’t fight me. But we’ll see.”
The 27-year-old Spence expects to make his first title defense sometime in the fall against an undetermined opponent. Assuming he is successful and doesn’t suffer an injury, Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) hopes a fully healthy Thurman will await him in his following fight.
The powerful southpaw from DeSoto, Texas, also wouldn’t mind meeting Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) in a 147-pound championship unification fight.
Spence isn’t sure that fight will ever become a realistic possibility. Besides, Spence considers a bout between him and Thurman more meaningful because they’re both undefeated champions in the respective primes of their careers.
“My thoughts on Keith are he’s doing his thing right now,” Spence said. “He’s hot. He just beat Shawn Porter, he beat Danny Garcia. That’s a nice win streak, Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia. So I take my hat off to him. But that’s the fight that I want and I feel like that’s the only fight that needs to be made at 147. So hopefully we can make that happen sooner than later, when he gets better and all healed up.”
The 28-year-old Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs, 1 NC), of Clearwater, Florida, added the WBC welterweight title to his WBA championship when he defeated Philadelphia’s Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) by split decision in their title unification fight March 4 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Thurman announced May 19 that he had elbow surgery April 19 at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan and would need six months to recover.
Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza hasn’t spoken to Thurman since Spence stopped hometown hero Kell Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) in the 11th round Saturday night in Sheffield, England. But a message from Thurman was relayed to Espinoza that made him confident Spence-Thurman is a fight we’ll see sooner rather than later.
“[Showtime’s] Brian Custer texted [Thurman],” said Espinoza, Showtime Sports’ executive vice president and general manager. “He said, ‘You know Keith. Keith is not shy. He said, let’s clear up the elbow and let’s do it.’ I think that’s, for my money, the only other guy [besides Spence] who has an argument, in terms of [being] the No. 1 in the division. And that’s an argument. If you had to rank them, those are the two guys you’d put at No. 1.”

at thisHe just called out Thurman in March, saying he'd face him at 147 in July, but refused upfront to face Broner at anything over 140 in July
Now he acting all scary about really fighting at 147 when it's AB's name who'd be across from him
Maidana must've told him about the strength AB has
Lastly, AB is already in shape.....and we don't lose at 140 or lower
