Apparently Mickey is asking for more money than hbo is willing to pay him to face Gamboa. I wish I could copy the link embed but with the iPad is impossible.
Sounds like the escape is in full effect

How in the hell does Yuri deserve 2X what Mikey is getting? That's BS and I wouldn't accept that if I was Team Garcia either. Mikey is the champion, has the momentum, and more options than Yuri.
Gamboa can beat Garcia. He needs to quit this BS and sign the fight. A fully focused Gamboa can beat Mikey.
he probably believes whatever **** 50 cent is telling him.
this we already know, who else would throw away a career high payday and throw away your prime years? you fell for somebody BS somewhere.
im so sick of Gamboa's sh1t...they should just blackball his stupid ass and freeze him out of any fight
he probably believes whatever **** 50 cent is telling him.
you do realize they are just talking shit, lol in that same sentence he said he will fight 50 on the undercard lol. You gotta know they just joking around right? dont tell me your that gullible
ok, so what does mikey want? i haven't heard what he's asking for so i legitmately dont know
I want more money they keep saying. Listen I fight you 4 whatever my promoter tell me is right 4me 2take just to c Bob***39;s face after I beat u— Yuriorkis Gamboa (@gamboa) February 27, 2014
Well its official now Gamboa literally said he does not give 2 sh*ts he will beat that ass for peanuts if necessary just to see the look in Bobs face . Mikey needs to stop making up excuses and lies and get in that damn ring nobody getting 2 million for this fight that pr*ck is high if he thinks that.
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
1.5 million is a lot of peanuts.
OK gamboa just said he doesnt give a damn. robert himself is the one that we should be talking about, the dude was talking about 5+ MIL TO FIGHT GAMBOA.. You gotta be on crack to expect that!

Gamboa trying to get a severance package lol.
What a clown, talk all that brave **** on twitter meet him face 2 face and they just look at you like a clown trying to be all nice and scared to talk, then you say you will take any money but its been reported that you are asking for double what mikey is getting lol what a clown.
There's not even an A side in this fight lol. I think both dudes are studs but i think people would rather watch Gamboa than Garcia if I'm being honest... Garcia might be the champ bit I wouldnt call him the A side.

I really want to see Gamboa and Garcia in a compelling fight already. It doesn't even have to be with each other, but I'm sick of seeing them outclass their opponents with ease. this comment is spot on. Salido is a tough one tho. And they both have that w on there record
ACtually, it appears as though Gamboa is pricing himself out.
Miguel Mikey Garcia ***8207;@TeamMikeyGarcia 23h
@jordymarr1690 he asking 1.5 mil
Miguel Mikey Garcia @TeamMikeyGarcia
@jordymarr1690 they told me i get 700k
Gamboa wants more money than Mikey is getting, SmH
Thread closed. Good find thuggery.
OP where's that common sense you speak mentioned earlier :rofl:
I just listened to the gamboa-garcia bit from the podcast in reference. I originally thought it was a Gamboa interview, but it was just one of the hosts saying Gamboa was offered more than Garcia. I'm almost positive he was just basing it off that Garcia tweet and confused "asking for" with "offered". I doubt there's an inside info there.
Would make sense. 1.5m is a lot to ask for by a guy in Gamboa's position. 2.2m is a healthy pot for this fight (if true), Gamboa should take 1m or just short of that.
The tweet in the OP states Gamboa was offered more somehow.

I hope this is b/s this diva sh*t is getting old.
^^^^^^this
it's tiring hearing this garbage about fighters all the time
Gamboa isn't really a star anymore anyway
ok fight, but not crazy about it, fine if it doesn't happen
but balking over the money is becoming a wack boxing cliche
So Mikey is on his last TR fight? Seems easy enough, take a small time fight vs a bum, then head over to Showtime since TR is fcuking around with you like that.
But man, really strange of TR to offer all that money to Gamboa, who they have a grudge against, as Gamboa said himself
Top Rank have to offer Gamboa all that money because there are no viable Garcia opponents under the Top Rank banner...so they have to go outside the company and overpay.
And the problem with Mikey's contract is that TR won't let him fight a bum...so they hold him hostage until he re-signs.
This isn't an HBO issue. This is a Top Rank contract issue.
TR is utilizing its usual strategy to leverage Mikey into signing an extension. They offer lowball s**t money if the fighter won't extend. The only way for the fighter to get market value, which is what he deserves, is if the fighter signs an extension.
That's how/why Gamboa is being offered more - not because Gamboa is worth more, but because Mikey is being lowballed in order to get him to sign an extension.

Garcia on damage control mode forever talking about what he thinks Gamboa got HBO is not stupid Gamboa is ok with his offer because he wants this fight but you can bet top dollar is not more than what Garcia is being offered no fking way .
