Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Explains His Legal Case Against Top Rank

[A-Wolf]

Can't believe this fool is admitting he got what he wanted financially and then started acting like a b*tch when he found out how much the other guy was getting.

I definitely agree with what Mikey is saying but in the pre-constructed world of boxing where everything is managed so carefully to make as much money as possible, I doubt most of that money is going to go to the performer and instead will go to the company who owns that performer. I mean think about it, there is fighters all over the world that want to be in the limelight like Mikey. In the end the promotional company is always going to have more control. If they don't have some sort of control or profit that they can create with a fighter then they introduce there next upcoming star. One thing is for certain, companies like top rank will always be able to find talent and get them to sign. Mikey gets paid for however percentage his contract says end of story. I am so tired of all these fighters using promotional companies to make them super stars and then biting the hand that feeds them. Sure if Arum breaks the rules of the contract and gives you less money then you were promised, then that's when you should complain and file a lawsuit or whatever. But if it is about self-worth and star power and want more money then you better hope you didn't sign a 10 year contract.

al haymon will help mikey form his own promotional company so he can keep more of his money.

You're avatar of a young Floyd shows proof just how much Floyd was starving himself to stay at the lower weights, someone was hiding the food from Floyd. Pic needs caption that says, have a cheseburger. Picture is disturbing.

If you headlined 5 fights on HBO in a row, had 3 top 30 of highest ratings of non PPV fights in 2013, became 2 division champ in 1 the same year, with 1 successful defense in the next year. Would you take less than a guy who made 50K in his last fight against Perez and 50K against a fisherman?

Yes or No?

how you figure?

Sad what's happened to Gamboa. He had the look, style to become a star.

[Black Barty]

"If he's getting 1.5 then I should be getting at least that much or more. I think I'm worth more than Gamboa at this point."

So he's admitting that he lied about Gamboa pricing himself out. When in actuality he (Mikey) is the one pricing himself out. Yup, what we all knew already.

Garcia, as the clear A side, didn't want to settle for less money than his opponent (who has done precious little over the last couple of years) would have gotten. Yeah, he priced himself out alright.

Btw didn't Gamboa tweet something about being willing to fight Mikey for peanuts? I guess that was a lie, too...

[thuggery]

Lol what? Why would they pay Gamboa that much? 50 Cent trying to be Al Haymon and ****
