Why Errol Spence hopes Mikey Garcia leads to fight with Manny Pacquiao at AT&T Stadium

Errol Spence Jr. is already living a dream.

He grew up in DeSoto as a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, hoping to play football for his favorite team at AT&T Stadium.

On March 16, he will realize a different version of the same childhood fantasy when he defends his IBF World Welterweight Championship against WBC lightweight champ Mikey Garcia.

It’s a battle between two undefeated world champions and is already being billed as the fight of the year.
