Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Interested in Hearing Out Floyd Mayweather's Offer

[Larry the boss]

I dont care who he signs with just get back in the damn ring

Mikey should stay a free agent. Let promoters compete for his services on a fight-by-fight basis.

That would probably piss off a lot of powerful people, though.

[Teetotaler]

Why would he sign with Floyd if he can just go over Floyd's head and sign directly with Haymon? Not that that's in the best interest of Mikey but Floyd barely has a stable worth even mentioning.

What Mikey needs to do is think of who can give him more options and land him the big fights without all the network/promoter drama. Which promoter has more access to fighters that Mikey can face and make bank off of.

Arum is out of the picture although I think their feud had to do with Mikey feeling he was worth more at the time than he actually was. Don't know exactly what led to the falling out but Mikey was certainly on the rise and making a name for himself when he was with TR.

That narrows it down to GBP and Haymon.

he'll most likely go to mayweather. He has a picture on instagram trashing marciano for being 49-0 at heavy weight and not moving up and deep throating froid for moving up. Along with other pics

pbc will not work with arum and golden boy you need someone who works with everyone and the only person who's neutral is jay z roc nation, k2 ggg promoter and 50 cents sms lol

[justinussery87]

Someone already mentioned a neutral promoter in Roc Nation. I second that, can go either way and beat up on Arum's fighters except Crawford, but at least the option will be there

^^^^^This right here^^^^^

I'm ready to actually see Mikey again instead of just hearing about him

[Flabulous]

I think thats more to do with Gamboa being a f#cking knucklehead (who I greatly dig as a fighter, but he's a f#cking knucklehead). I mean I don't even think he "left" Top Rank really cuz his new faux "promoter", 50 Cent, was just putting him on the same Top Rank cards he was trying to get off of originally lol. Obviously you aren't going to do better **** when you are working with the same guy just with an extra middleman.

I seen something where he signed with some new bs promoter who's not even promoted a fight so he's staying f#cked up cuz he's a knucklehead.

Mikey is a smarter guy. He'll get paid equal (since he does got the hiatus right now) or better or he won't even sign with anyone I'd be willing to bet.

That is a point well taken - Mikey comes from a boxing lineage - so he's got smart people around him, who are also family, so they actually care about his interests.

Whats that got to do with anything? He was making more per fight than he probably made in his whole TR career & actually got moved towards a belt. He did some dumb **** sure, but he did better for his career by leaving Top Rank for Mayweather Promotions til he did some dumb ****....and more than once cuz like I said he started thinking he could turn down 6 digit paydays while being a guy no one was really wanting to see.

You can twist it to make it seem overall bad, but he got put into positions no one in the business was gonna put him in, in particular Top Rank, except probably Mayweather Promotions & he become a player in his division & still is a player. If he was on Top Rank he'd probably still be fighting on TopRank.TV & getting paid maybe $20k per fight by now.

I said it didn't have anything to do with the promotional issue - just thought it was funny once he went to TMT, and I think was even trained by Sr. at one time? And then got pinched for having the SECOND HIGHEST testosterone level in the history of Nevada.

That's pretty fooking significant, seeing how Nevada is the fight capital of the world, and god knows how many boxers have been tested, and this guy has the second highest level ever - prolly on par with a championship horse or some ****.

I don't know why, but it seems that Arum's boxers rarely test dirty for anything - aside Chavez Jr. for the marihuana.

[Joey_Torreo]

He already signed with hsymon I believe. In one of the promotional events pbc were having before the Ortiz berto 2 fight, they listed him as pbc fighter

[Eff Pandas]

I don't know why, but it seems that Arum's boxers rarely test dirty for anything - aside Chavez Jr. for the marihuana.

I think Chavez got busted for diuretics & suspended earlier in his career too.

I wouldn't wanna speculate too much about why certain en****** get caught or don't get caught cuz there is so much unknown out there with that sorta stuff it could turn into some goofy ass 2009 Floyd vs Manny argument fast I bet lol. I could easily see there being a method of gaming the system with PEDs or PED testing doe. I mean just reading about that RUSADA thing recently suggests its plausible this sort of stuff could be going on at a equal or lesser level in boxing (& other sports) right now as we speak & they just haven't been discovered.

I know if I was a promoter or manager & I saw all these guys getting called cheaters & having people turn against them over PED stuff or even PED rumors I'd probably implement an in-house PED testing program that I'd keep as private as possible. If one of my guys pisses dirty I either suspend him myself privately & say he injured his hand or something if he had a fight coming up or if I'm a lil more sketchy I test him til he comes up negative so he can still fight or we need to cancel closer to the fight if he won't be able to pass the commission test.
