Frampton: If Garcia Beats Pacquiao, He Becomes PPV Star Like Canelo

February 7, 2021 by admin

Former two division champion Carl Frampton is very surprised with Ryan Garcia’s desire to step in the ring with Manny Pacquiao.

Last month, the 22-year-old Garcia pulled off the biggest victory of his career when he knocked out 2012 Olympic gold medal winner Luke Campbell in seven rounds.

Pacquiao, 42-years-old, is boxing’s only eight division champion and still widely regarded as a very dangerous fighter.

The Filipino superstar has been out of the ring since July of 2019, when he won a twelve round decision over Keith Thurman to capture the WBA welterweight title.

Should a Pacquiao fight come together, Garcia would be required to move up a division or two, likely to a catch-weight between 140 and 147.

Frampton could certainly see a scenario where Pacquiao ends the fight by knockout.

“This is massive. If this fight gets made, you have to give Ryan Garcia credit, it’s a brave fight to take because Manny Pacquiao, although he’s not the fighter he once was, if Luke Campbell can drop Ryan Garcia, [then] Manny Pacquiao can knock him out. This is a risky fight,” Frampton stated on his Youtube channel.

But, with heavy risk comes a heavy reward.

In 2008, Pacquiao himself was competing as a lightweight and took a big risk when he moved up to the welterweight division to pull off a dominating stoppage of Oscar De La Hoya.

The victory made Pacquiao an instant pay-per-view star.

Frampton could see the same thing happen with Garcia – if he knocked off the veteran with an upset win.

“If Ryan Garcia goes to that level and beats a hero of mine, an absolute superstar in Manny Pacquiao – he puts himself [right up there] with Canelo Alvarez, who is the number one fighter on the planet, in terms of being the boxing superstar… just the top guy in boxing, he is pay-per-view – and Ryan Garcia would be number two. If he beats Manny Pacquiao he becomes number two in pay-per-view,” Frampton said.

“This is an extremely risky fight. If he goes and beats Manny Pacquiao, which he could very well do, it’s amazing. It’s a huge statement if he goes and wins, but there’s that chance he could get chinned and the bubble bursts a bit.”
