Garcia admitted that Mayweather advised him to fight Romero instead of Haney

“I won’t lie, Floyd is quite influential. He said, “Why would you fight Haney right away? Why not fight Romero and then fight Haney?”

I replied, “That makes sense, but I already told my team that I would fight Devin.” He said, “Some things change.” I'm paraphrasing his words now, but I quickly decided and said, 'Okay, Floyd, that makes sense,'" Garcia said.

Let us remember that Romero eventually agreed on a fight with Isaac Cruz, and Garcia said that he had resumed negotiations with Haney.
