美国次中量级拳王米基·加西亚表示，如果菲律宾拳击传奇人物曼尼·帕奎奥获胜，他愿意拿出至少100万美元。

尽管目前还没有任何定论，但加西亚表示，这场备受期待的比赛很有可能在今年早些时候举行。这场比赛已经被炒作了五年多。

100万是最少的，但他下注的范围可能从200万到500万不等，赌他能和一个也是唯一的8个世界赛区冠军对垒。

“我以前说过。我从没说过我的整个钱包。我没那么蠢。如果我弄伤了我的手，或者摔了一跤，或者其他类似的傻事怎么办?你永远不会知道的。但如果我得到一个大钱包，我希望得到一个好的钱包，我至少会减少到100万美元，”加西亚在他的EsNews Youtube频道3月5日周五发布的视频中告诉拳击作家艾莉·赛克**。

“虽然这不是官方消息，但他的团队和他自己都喜欢这样的战斗。这是有道理的，这也是我能得到的最好的战斗。如果他同意，那我也同意。我们应该把其他的事情都弄清楚。这就是。”

根据福布斯的数据，加西亚在与杰西·巴尔加斯的最后一场比赛中赚了700万美元，而帕奎奥在与基思·瑟曼的比赛中赚了1000万美元。

33岁的加西亚承认在社交媒体上收到了很多关于合同细节的询问，但他选择了保持沉默，除非比赛合同签署。

帕奎奥的一位不愿透露姓名的老朋友早些时候告诉《tempo快报》，这位菲律宾拳手出身的参议员的下一场比赛可能会在5月举行。

尽管如此，拥有30次击倒记录40胜1负的加西亚表示，如果他能与帕奎奥抗衡，或者以147磅(次中量级)的体重赢得世界冠军，对他来说将是意义重大的。

在那之前，这位美国拳手至少会接受一些体育记者的提问。

“我不能说。我为什么要一直，一遍又一遍地说同一件事?直到正式生效，直到我们最终签下合同，”加西亚补充道，他上一次观看比赛是在去年2月，当时全票通过击败了巴尔加斯，帕奎奥的前对手。

至于42岁的帕奎奥，自2019年7月打入决胜瑟曼的进球后，就没有参加过比赛。1月下旬，帕奎奥(62-7-2,39次ko)被剥夺了他的WBA超级次中量级腰带，由于不运动被宣布为“休息冠军”。

American welterweight contender Mikey Garcia is willing to put at least $1 million down the table should the reported fight against Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao pushes through.

Although nothing has been cast in stone yet, Garcia said the much-awaited fight, which has been hyped for more than five years now, has good chances of happening early this year.

One million is the least, but his range may reach from two to five million to bet on himself against the one and only eight-division world boxing champion.

“I’ve said it before. I never said my whole purse. I’m not that stupid. What if I hurt my hand or if I fall or something or something stupid like that? You never know. But if I’m getting a big purse, and I expect to get a good purse, I‘m down to at least one million bucks,” Garcia told boxing scribe Elie Seckbach on his EsNews Youtube channel posted Friday, March 5.

“It’s not official but his team and himself, they like the fight. It makes sense and it’s the best fight that I can also get. If he’s on board, then I’m on board. We should just get everything else, y’know, straightened out. That’s the thing.”

Per Forbes, Garcia had earned $7 million purse in his last fight against Jessie Vargas while Pacquiao had pocketed $10 million against Keith Thurman.

Garcia, 33, admitted receiving a lot of queries on social media regarding some details on the supposed deal but opted to stay mum unless the fight contract is signed.

A long-time friend of Pacquiao, who requested anonymity, earlier told Bulletin-Tempo that the next bout of the Filipino boxer-turned-senator may take place in May.

That said, Garcia, who holds a 40-1 record on top of 30 knockouts, said it would be meaningful for him if he gets to clash with Pacquiao or win the world title at 147 lb (welterweight).

Until then, the American boxer would at least entertain minimal questions from select sportswriters.

“I can’t say. Why would I keep, y’know, saying the same thing over and over. Until it’s official and until we finally have a contract signed then,” added Garcia, who last saw action in February last year with a unanimous decision win against Vargas, a former opponent of Pacquiao.

The 42-year-old Pacquiao, for his part, has not fought since scoring a split decision win over Thurman last July 2019. In late January, Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) was stripped of his WBA super welterweight belt and was declared “champion in recess” due to inactivity.
