Im surprised no one has listed this. I like the fight though Mike has been out of the ring for awhile. Still think he gives Crawford a good fight. Here it is
In the news front of inactive fighters, Mikey Garcia sits down with FightHype to talk a little about his status in boxing limbo. Garcia, who has been in a promotional dispute with Top Rank for what feels like forever now, says he'd be willing to face upcoming star Terence Crawford right now if Top Rank would allow him to walk afterwards.
I love it. I love it so much that I'm now channeling my inner Dwight Schrute: "Say yes, Bob. Three. Two. One. Say it. Yes. Yes. Yes."
Unfortunately Bob Arum is unlikely to agree to such terms. Mikey Garcia says Arum would require him signing a multiple fight deal to make a fight like that, which would effectively be like signing a contact extension with a company he wants ever so badly to be rid of. Garcia even says that Top Rank hasn't mentioned a fight for him in a very long time, which means he could continue to remain on the sidelines indefinitely, unless he can get the courts to intervene in the meanwhile.
Thoughts
mikey never had the desire to box. i remember he said he does it because its"like playing a game on easy mode"
and also I remember he said he wanted to be a cop, he even graduated from the police academy
Easy mode because that's how he likes it. He could of gone for harder challenges if he really wanted to.
Andre Ward Jr.
I think his desire is gone and he's making excuses.

Oh it's def Robert Garcia..
It's no coincidence Chavez Jr signed with Haymon and now Also trains with Garcia.
i dont understand what mikey was thinking. he was headlining on hbo, they where giving him 100% its not like he would be making alot more with haymon
100 percent correct m8.....maidana and others are with haymon...Santa cruz...they all seem to be Drawn to haymon....so there must be do shylocking on....somebody is instigating it behind the scenes.......I don't trust that Roberts garcias stable one bit......they all seem to have no loyalty or unhinged

Cool no offence m8......the thing is they know what he is supposedly like but they still sign with him...that I don't understand.....don King was notorious...finkel....duva...there businessmen they know the law...us boxers are humble and gullible people and we believe in what they say.....arum is old school and he sees that fighter as his property....better when he is finally out of it ..but no doubt if haymon didn't get what he wants I'm sure his colours would be the same m8
No worries. Arum is old school for sure. Too bad Tyson, Chavez & many others got drained by King. They are very gullible people, who are happy to get a contract. I think Mikey would honor his contract, get paid, then move on. Too many guys want to punish their promoter and lose money for themselves.
Cool bro. Take it easy.

Hes offering to fight one of TR best. How is this refusing to fight?
I just think he wants to finish contract and get out and they arent letting him.
We don't know for sure but if that is so then top rank are not doing there side of the agreement and the contract would be voided......but something should be happening now after 2 years or so.....the moral of the story is don't sign for arum lol
It takes him a while to get around to the big fights. He is clever.
Many guys wanna dump Arum.
I am a Sephardic Jew, so stay away from ...
Let Garcia go. Set him free!
Peace bro. Agree to disagree.

Was Goossen Promotions a sole proprietorship? Because only sole proprietorship's die with the owner. Pretty sure Goossen Promotions is still running with Craig Goossen. Ward getting away was due to Roc Nation helping him. Just like Haymon helped Floyd break away from TR.
It's my understanding that the brother of goosen is the one who let ward go. Maybe they worked something out where he let ward or rocnation buy out of his contract.
If he owes arum fights then the contract remains until Garcia fulfills it. It took for goosen to die for ward to get out of his contract.

Arum don't prevent fights....he's a Jew silly...he loves the green......arum is clever though, but no your wrong. Leonard-hagler hagler-hearns Duran-hagler. Mayweather-paquiao all arum fights lol...once a fighter has made his mind up to go that's it....so arum would cash him out with a pacquaio ....so it must be down to Garcia refusing to fight

Bob Arum he has prevented many great fights.

Crawford would beat garcia easily... Bud is levels above Herrera, and peterson...
Bud already scalped danny a few times in the amatuers...
Garcia all talk, bud scaples him again, and anyone that knows boxing knows it's true
Damn, I thought we were talking about danny Garcia...
Anyways,, bud would beat mikey as well
Honestly, if Haymon would of kept his grimy hands away from Garcia, Garcia would of been active still and we would probably be looking at a Mikey Garcia Vs Manny Pacquiao fight soon.

Positive thing for Garcia is that he's still only 28. That contract has to run out at some point. I assume he'll be a free agent in 2016. He has top 10 P4P quality.
If he owes arum fights then the contract remains until Garcia fulfills it. It took for goosen to die for ward to get out of his contract.
If true they arent offering any fights till he signs an extension
Can't be that. If so Mikey would have sued arum for not living up to his end of the contract. Mikey is just pulling a ward and refusing to fight out of protest. He's an idiot because he isn't hurting arum. He's hurting himself. Arum is still making millions while he hangs out at his brothers gym for free.
Honor your contrast and walk just like Cotto did.
