I hope he's not serious about fighting the winner of Crawford and Postol. He should be looking at Verdejo, Fortuna, Gamboa, Corrales, Francisco Vargas, Walters, etc.

This common sense when you sign a contract.
There was supposed to be a guarantee on the money he was making while fighting, Top Rank were in breach of that.
If there is no guarantee that you are going to be making the money you agreed upon in the contract, you stop working and resolve the issue before you do any labour, especially in boxing. Nobody wants to being that job for free.
2 Jobs? and you don't know how a contract dispute comes about?

Hope Schaefer comes on board as well. Floyd will save boxing.

It was a bad decision.......

Im happy that Mikey got the freedom he was looking for, but the advice he took to get it was bad IMO. Ok I get he was unhappy with his situation at Top Rank. They guaranteed him a certain amount of money and they breached on that. So he should have taken them to court like he did for breach of contract and still fought and make the little money Top Rank was breaching on. The court would have seen they were breaching on a guarantee, so they would have ended up awarding him that money they promised and possibly more as punishment towards Top Rank and still got his freedom. But instead he was out two years(which were prime years, SMH) and made zero money while taking this stand.
I totally commend Mikey on the stand he took but I think he should have went at it differently.Last edited by boxinghead530; 04-28-2016, 12:03 PM.

Floyd would make Mikey fight Theopane for 300K.

Simply put, the Garcias are weighing their options and are in discussions with most of the kingmakers of the sport — and that includes Al Haymon. Garcia called aligning with Haymon “one big possibility.” But whatever they do, they don’t want their parterships to restrict them from making the biggest fights possible.
“I don’t think Mikey wants to sign with any promoter,” Garcia told ******.com on Wednesday. “I think what Mikey wants to do is maybe to be open with everybody because we know HBO could also be interested and there are some big fights out there. There’s the winner of Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol. Then there are so many great fighters fighting for PBC that could also make sense. Golden Boy always has a lot of names around 135, 140 and eventually 147. Whatever makes the most sense.”
