Mikey should have said "Fine I will fight the winner"
But he knows deep down who the winner will be. So now Easter is in his radar instead.
But before that he will fake call out the Charlo's, GGG, and everyone else he has not mentioned as of yet beforehand.
Mikey ****ed up by turning down the fight.
It's a mandatory fight. He didn't turn down the fight.
What he turned down was GB's BS offer for the fight because he knows he'll make more under a purse bid.
Linares doesn't actually want to fight Mikey though, which is why he's trying to take another fight now that the WBC wants to order a purse bid.

Linares is a fairly easy fight. He is talked into being a big name, but if you look at his resume, he's beaten all substandard and average opposition since being KO'd by DeMarco, and Thompson. You have people talking up domestic level UK guys, to try and build Linares up, but fact is, he hasn't really fought anyone of real quality. I'd favor both Lomachenko, and Garcia over him. Garcia would probably steam roll him, while Lomachenko would probably box to a feather fisted decision.
yea but thats not the whole article lol. mikey said it himself he turned it down for a better offer.
He turned down GB's BS offer, but if Linares wants the fight, he doesn't have to make a BS offer. Go to purse bid. It's a mandatory fight. Linares stalled by refusing to enforce his position. Everything GB did here was simply for optics. Make Mikey ****ty offers so he can "turn them down" when the truth is that Linares is the mandatory and could have forced the purse bid if he actually wanted the fight.
The WBC has gotten fed up with Linares stalling and now that they're demanding a purse bid, Linares doesn't want the fight.
Good, let's look at that article:
"Lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia has rejected an offer to unify belts with Jorge Linares early next year, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez, who promotes Linares, told ESPN on Wednesday."
So, should we believe what Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN's Dan Rafael? The problem is that when being deposed, Eric Gomez admitted under oath that he often lies to ESPN's Dan Rafael.
Which means we should look at the actual facts. The fact is that Linares is the mandatory and he refuses to enforce the fight. The WBC wants a purse bid and now Linares is avoiding it.
yea but thats not the whole article lol. mikey said it himself he turned it down for a better offer.
"We couldn't make it, but I agreed with Eric Gomez that we'd be in touch to make it after this fight," Garcia told ESPN Deportes. "I have more options, really, compared to what I had. The guaranteed purse is better, even though I really want the Linares fight, but you have to take into consideration the business. As Golden Boy is looking to do the best for their company, so I look out for me."
that pretty much ends the debate. i dont think mikey is ducking he just wanted to make more money elsewhere. but he shouldn't act salty because loma now wants to fight linares.
lipinets fight was a better offer...bullshi-t! we found out that it was haymon paying his fighters behind the scenes and it wasnt part of the official contract with the spence-peterson fight. haymon could have gave mikey all that money to fight linares but he chose lipinets instead. the better offer is just publicity cause he knows it looks horrendous.
yea any proof to that orrrr, just usual bs from you?
thats not what this article says >>> http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/21342625/mikey-garcia-rejected-unification-fight-jorge-linares-according-golden-boy-promotions-president

You're wrong. Linares has been Mikey's mandatory and Linares refuses to take the fight.

GB offered him 50-50 split with no future options and mikey said no. he said it was a "business decision". basically saying he got better offer elsewhere. so it was in fact mikey that turned it down. now loma wants linares and mikey is salty about it. after robert easter's trash performance vs fortuna nobody gives a damn about mikey vs easter no more. and lipinets is seen as easy pickings.

You're wrong. Linares has been Mikey's mandatory and Linares refuses to take the fight.
Why does Mikey have to be like that?
After Lipinets, he should Robert Easter to unify.
Loma takes care of Linares and Beltran, then they unify at the end of the year.
Forget about 2019. Let's have it this year!!!
They can rematch in 2019 for Mikey's 140 title.
i tend to believe whatever lomo says.. to me he is extremely confident in his abilities and actually wants to prove he is the best there is. i have a hard time believing mikey when he has fought all nobodies through his entire career. lomo fought for a world title in his 2nd pro bout. we wanted to see him vs gary russell, so he fought and whooped russells ass.. then everyone wanted to see him fight rigo and he went and made rigo quit. everyone wants to see him fight garcia and we are supposed to believe mikey over lomo??? awww hellll nah!!! mikey needs to step the fuh up and start fighting the big names. broner is his biggest win for crying out loud!! as a matter of fact, im going on his ig right now to put him on blast!!
Turns down the fight, schedules another fight and expects the first guy to wait for him.. I don't get it
What's not to get, it's typical entitlement mentality.
Mikey thinks he is bigger then boxing !! Should've but didn't cause he thinks his the new money may !! Nothing but an ego trip he became in the last 2 years !!
Turns down the fight, schedules another fight and expects the first guy to wait for him.. I don't get it
Garcia seems to believe his own hype . . . .
No promoter so waiting for people to come to him etc.
Linares will fight him, if Garcia wants the fight he needs to start negotiating
