“I really resent using the names of other fighters that way, saying “he won’t fight me, the promoter wont allow it.” Bullsh*t! If he came in and with not an astronomical ask, of course we’d do it. Loma beats the pants off Mikey, he says Garcia is too slow. Now, Garcia could disagree. But there’s absolutely  no impediment to Lomachenko fighting Mikey Garcia. Vasyl has designated Mikey as one of guys he’s happy to fight. Garcia has to call us up, say he wants to fight Lomachenko, do we have a date, yeah we do, then the question is, how much do you want? You have negotiate, if the price is right, we do it, it’s not rocket science," Bob Arum said.
