✍️ Mikey Garcia revealed he is IN TALKS with Eddie Hearn about a possible promotional agreement as part of his new $1Billion DAZN deal and has been told to expect a proposal shortly.
Mikey is all over the map. I thought all the reports said it was a done deal he was signing with UFC. As a fan I'd much rather he sign with Hearn then Dana White. Hearn will work with everybody. Dana already said he refuses to make fights with Bob Arum or Oscar. And won't work with Showtime. That eliminates a lot of potential fights for Mikey. Mikey stay free agent or sign with a traditional Boxing Promoter not that snake Dana White who's known for robbing the fighters in his sport and putting up a lot of roadblocks before he even get's in the game.
Seemed like Mikey was all ready to sign with Floyd. Why did that go South?
Mickey promoter is Al Haymon. Mickey is in PBC Promos, only fights in showtime and only fights Haymon fighter. If he was really a Free Agent he would fight any fighter and any network.
Haymon isnt a promoter. This is what it looks like is about to be exploited. Setting up his own thing to circumnavigate the Ali act, but if it fails youre wide open for a takeover. PBC has failed, and fighters about to be plucked

Mikeys a good fighter, but for some reason I think he over prices himself. When he was in top rank his biggest fight was salido, and salido came so close to winning if it wasn't for Robert Garcia saving him.
This good news for Lomachenko/Garcia, Hearn and Arum have a good relationship, Dana White would be another roadblock
But Arum would want the fight on ESPN and Top Rank promoting it. Arum could careless if Hearn and Dazn will pay more for the fight. Only question is, does Dazn broadcast ESPN?
Mikey is brilliant by being a free agent. He has all these dudes wanting to sign him or keep him so he is shopping for the best deal for him. He has a little bidding war going on.
Showtime wants to keep him, Zuffa wants him and now Hearn. Mikey is going to break bank LOL
You see how many fights he went through to get to Lipinets, dude I think he was into negotiations with 8 fighters, that **** don't happen with a promoter

Is that Zuffa stuff real? Or is it a we'll give Joshua $500mil sort of offer?
Seems like it has been some talks with everybody but Robert seems to be against signing with anybody and I don't blame him. Mikey doing GREAT on his own and is about to Headline in Los Angeles in a big fight vs Robert Easter Jr. so he really doesn't "NEED" a Promoter
This good news for Lomachenko/Garcia, Hearn and Arum have a good relationship, Dana White would be another roadblock
YES! This is the most important thing with this news to me. Loma/Garcia would seem to be dead in the water if Mikey goes with White, with Hearn, at least there is a realistic shot this gets made at some point. I really hope Mikey signs with Matchroom, keeps way more doors open
I doubt Mikey is getting himself in anything LONG TERM after dealing with that Top Rank Situation. Something as far as a fight to fight type of thing or maybe just taking 1 or 2 fights on DAZN in between big fights on Showtime would be great
That is the advantage of being a Free Agent because you don't know WTF might come along in the future and you can't be apart of it because you're locked down exclusively to a Promotion. Maybe Zuffa Boxing is announced soon and they will be looking to throw around a lot of money at these fighters :dunno: this is the ERA in which you want to be a Promotional Free Agent because of stuff like DAZN and possibly Zuffa Boxing

But hey he is a free man doe and is anti-promoter doe.
