Garcia TEAM exposed

We don't know that, not all fighters know what they make, take it from me. They hire these people to get the most money they can, then people get in their ears and tell them they can get them more and that's how they get poached. I think the fight will be made eventually but I have a feeling they are trying to build it up. Mikey is a rising star, regardless of what people think. He maynot be headlining his own PPV but I think they want him and Gamboa to be a bigger fight than just some fight on Showtime on a Saturday night. They might want to will it under a bigger PPV, really get them in a better position. At this point we dont' know but Gamboa is in no position to negotiate. He's desperately trying to get Mikey to fight him because he want's the belt, recognition and get his name back out there. What Gamboa needs to do is fight and stop talking BS on twitter and other social media. I hope you're right. And I agree that Gamboa needed this. His career is on life-support due to his own terrible decisions. He really needs to get active and sharpen-up. As much as I wanted to see a Garcia fight, that was a huge step up from Yuri's recent comp. Let's hope there are a few highly-anticipated fights this year, bro; we've already had one shot down, at least for the time being.

I understand that, man. But Gamboa, as one of the principles, is obviously privy to the state of the negotiations. Agreed? He has consistently put out the 500k figure. I have to believe that's a very real number. The total purse might well have been a million, or thereabouts. It's entirely conceivable that that was what Arum was referring to when the said, "Why should he (Gamboa) be getting as much money as Garcia?" I'd love to believe that, but Arum seemed pretty firm in his comments. If there's any hope, we'll know soon enough. We don't know that, not all fighters know what they make, take it from me.

Damn now thats that EITHER

Gamboa doesn't manage himself, I don't know why that's so hard to understand. He can go on whatever show and name any price, that's not how fights are negotiated or made. I understand that, man.

Let mikey respond to the 500k comment before you go around saying that they are ducking him. You dont know if he was demanding more than that before and now all of a sudden changed it to look good. Regardless i think its all to sell the fight . This is a fight the fans wanna see it will be made. Speaking for myself, I am withholding ultimate judgement until Mikey replies. But numbers are thrown around all the time with any form of negotiation. All those guys know this. The fight is now dead. Someone was unreasonable, or simply didn't want the fight. HBO doesn't care for Garcia without Gamboa. Apparently, the network agrees that Yuri is worth about as much as Mikey. Arum made an offhand comment about Gamboa wanting half the purse. Unreasonable? HBO apparently doesn't think so.

I've mentioned that ESPN interview several times, but you keep ignoring it as if it didn't happen. I have no idea what Gamboa is really thinking, or what the negotiations might've been like. But I do believe that Yuri's much more committed when he makes that 500k affirmation on a television broadcast, in reply to questions from JCC and others. It's not just a "tweet" from the comfort of his home. Gamboa doesn't manage himself, I don't know why that's so hard to understand. He can go on whatever show and name any price, that's not how fights are negotiated or made. This fight will be made.

My question is how do you know that Gamboa would actually take that amount? You seem like a level headed poster but I'm seeing a very deep bias with you. I understand Gamboa is your guy, but we don't know the details of what is going on. Gamboa is the same person who didn't show up for the Rios presser and demanded more money then. He left his promoter and went to 50 to specifically make more money. My point is, to think that what you read on twitter is what is really going on is absurd.

You don't have to know if official negotiations are, or have been, going on. Mikey states in a recent Boxingscene interview that Gamboa is pricing himself out. He's making an assertion, and implying, by the way, that there was indeed some form of negotiation between the fighters' camps. Yuri has repeatedly stated that he'll take 500k, most recently on an episode of ESPN "A Los Golpes." This is a direct contradiction to Mikey's claims. We haven't heard any reply from Garcia's people to Gamboa's stance -- only from Arum that the fight is dead. Therefore, Mikey's holding the bag until such time as he can make a reasonable statement regarding why this fight is now DOA.

Not only that but other people are also saying Garcia is the one not happy with the money... AND OPPONENT! And the ones saying this aren't just fans either! Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android I know, man. I'm really trying to remain impartial here, but Mikey's not looking good. Gamboa appeared on TV and went on record saying that he'll take 500k. Steve Kim's saying Garcia's not appreciating HBO's treatment regarding his next appearance on the network. Is Mikey going to say they're lying? Misinformed? Garcia needs to speak up.

If it is any consolation, Arum is saying Mikey might fight Uchiyama instead.

wow, looks like Garcia's team have no options... I just hope HBO wont give-in on Garcia vs Gamboa.

and has 50 cent and gamboa put all that trash they talk on twitter into a contract form and sent it to Garcia team/promoter? NO they havent lol. But but its garcia lol, talk is cheap especially from a cuban put that shit on paper make it official, then if garcia turns it down cry but till then you just talking shit on twitter like hoe. Man it up, get your promoter 50 cent to draw up the contracts that say you will accept 500K and the lion share goes to mikey but that hasnt been done once and never will cause its all just fancy twitter talk frrom gamboa. who came out with the "pricing himself out"? talk is cheap indeed or was that fancy talk?

Fair enough. lol There's probably blame to go around. But, from where I'm standing, it looks to me that the Garcia camp is holding the bag. Holding the bag for what? I want to know this information because it seems to me that fans now have insider news on the numbers they are negotiating IF they are even negotiating.

obviously that "gamboa is pricing himself out" was a lie I still think mikey wants the fight but his team is scared of what might result, to me the fight is pretty much 50-50, both can both and punch and none cant take a big punch, I doubt the fight gets done though, team Garcia will find any excuse possible.

you know what, fvck both these assh0les fvkcing nobodies acting like divas Fair enough. lol There's probably blame to go around. But, from where I'm standing, it looks to me that the Garcia camp is holding the bag.

And Gamboa's pricing himself out huh...

I don't know why team garcia avoiding this fight because mikey would whoop gamboa's ass. but wow that's some b1tch sh1t right there. same reason floyd is avoiding pac. the risk is there!
