I'm familiar with the promoter tricks. This is basically the same as announcing that this fight won't happen IMO.
At this point I'd much rather see Garcia-Lomachenko but that isn't going to happen by December. A fight of that magnitude isn't put together so quickly. It could have by the end of the year if Loma moved up to Lightweight and Flanagan was available. If he beat Flanagan then I could see it at the end of the year or early next since it'd be a unification fight. Both sides want to build the fight up a bit and would look to make it a PPV fight. That's what Klimas wants and Mikey agreed when they met in person weeks back. The problem is neither is a PPV fighter. Mikey could be down the line but Loma may never be a PPV attraction. Garcia would be the A side in this fight and they'd want it on Showtime.
