Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia’s Trainer: Mikey Wants to Unify the Titles

[Bigg Rigg]

“It broke down over money. Yeah, everything breaks down over money,” Top Rank Promotions Founder Bob Arum confirmed to Maxboxing last Friday afternoon. “I mean, Garcia thought he was worth more and obviously didn’t give a **** about what Gamboa was getting but he used the argument that he should get more based on what they were paying Gamboa, who, after all, has no track record and hasn’t fought in a long time. It seems to be that’s a pretty good argument.”
“They’re talking a hard line based a lot on how popular these guys are with their subscribers,” opined Arum. “So when a guy wants to be paid like Miguel Cotto, they said, ‘Well, your viewership is half of what Cotto’s is.’ So in other words, what they’re doing now is they’re taking a hard look on how many viewers each fighter gets when he fights among other things. You can’t fault them on that. I mean, everyone thinks they’re the greatest. Everybody thinks they should get paid the most. But it’s like an actor. He may want $10 million; another guy may want $20 million and it’s really based on how many sales they did in their last couple of movies.”
