Hasn't fought in 2021, fought once in 2020, once in 2019, once in 2016, didn't fight in 2015 (I thought he retired in 2015 until he came back and fought in 2016).
What is it that makes him so inactive.
He only wants big paydays that he doesn't deserve. Hes pretty much like omar figuroa
If it wasn't for the funny sounding short guy who interviews him all the time, most people wouldn't know who Garcia is.
Mikey Garcia is still a great fighter. The Bob Father f-u-c-ked him up with a bad contract.
I like the one fight at a time strategy. Signing a huge contact didn't work so well for ginger.
:lol1:
When it's all over, I'm sure Nelo will have earned much more than Mikey.
Unless Mikey is getting paid not to fight ?
Mikeys net worth is 4-10 mil

Has it though? Back when around the time there was a lot of talk of him fighting Lomachenko, instead later we got him v Spence which honestly I don't think many people were really calling for, the excitement dropped noticeably. These days it seems he is the forgotten man to a point, I don't hear too many people saying X should fight Mikey.
Maybe he still has popularity within a demographic I'm not familiar with, but it does seem his stocks have dropped considerably.
A little guy named Manny Pacquiao still wants to fight him, so he's doing alright
He learned from Chris Tucker... for whatever reason, making himself scarce has kept his brand at a high valuation.

the question that should be asked is why nobody pushes him to have a meaningful fight vs Crawford, Porter, Ortiz jr etc, he's ranked 4th best WW by boxrec, but at the same time DAZN should force a 39 year old Golovkin to fight the "premium opponents"

Mikey is doing VERY VERY well for himself away from boxing so how can people be mad that he has set himself to the point in which he doesn't need to be active and doesn't need to fight 3-4 times a year taking punches to the face that does has a after effect. He can afford to sit out and wait around for BIG FIGHTS ONLY! Pacquiao kind of went quiet, not sure what his plan is I think he will just wait for McGregor next month to see if he wins his trilogy with Poirier and make a fight with him then probably retire and go prepare to run for President of the Philippines
So he got 1 big money fight, now he think he's some finance guru?

I misread the thread title and thought it said unattractive. Because he’s got a giant oversize head. He looks like if a Sri Lankan had a baby with a mongoose.
Seems like all Mikey does nowadays is buy cars and eat pizza.
He's living the good life, he just isn't very motivated by legacy.
He's always in the gym, yet when you see him he look like he's 185 190 and he's a 140 pound fighter.
He should just retire
I know in recent times he said he doesn’t want to fight without a crowd
A few years ago he obviously had issues with Top Rank.
Aside from that, it seems he’s just as a point where he isn’t bothered about being active and just looking for the right fights for him.
Well he has a big ranch, same as Charlo :rolleyes: :D, in all seriousness, Mikey is looking for and seeking certain paydays, like the 7m that Hearn was dumb enough to pay him to fight Vargas on DAZN, and judging by his current weight/pictures he doesn't seem to live the life.
He made 18 million combined just between his fights with Lipinets, Spence and Vargas. He can afford to sit out and hope for a big money fight like Pacquiao.Taylor would be a great fight if he pulls off the win over his stablemate Ramirez.
