    ^^^this

    Mikey Garcia, if all logical steps are taken, is going to be built up in Southern California, before likely heading to Vegas when the casino fee fights start to come up. The rest of the team is already set (Big G as Pops, Robert as trainer/'manager', Lawyer to makes sure that the deals are all on the up-and-up).

    If Mikey Garcia can swing a deal with Haymon, he locks in the TV exposure, Tom Brown handles the California shows, and he plugs along; a direct Haymon deal not getting done, Mikey still has this relationship with Floyd Mayweather to build on (Floyd leveraging his relationships with Showtime/CBS and Haymon to lock in opportunities).

    The pause, rightfully so imo, likely comes with concerns about getting fights at 140 (though Mikey has said that he wants to try to get a belt at 135, he's likely to campaign at 140); Crawford(WBO), Postol(WBC), and Troyanovsky(IBF; likely to hold the belt hostage in Russia for a while, though mandatory challenge doesn't make it impossible) are all out of Haymon/Mayweather's reach.

    The cupboard's not bare though; Figueroa Jr, Provodnikov, Granados, Obara, Castillo, and Burns are all 140lb fighters (rated in BoxRec's top 20 at the weight) that are available with Haymon/Mayweather, and the WBA is on the verge of looking for a new champion.

    wouldn't lock anything down until he was sure that he couldn't comfortably fight at 135, though; look forward to seeing Mikey on one of the California PBC cards come August/September

      Hes already contradicting what mickey has said. Mikey himself said he wants a long term contract that he doesnt wanna sign just for 2 or 3 fights. The coward just wants welfare haymon treatment. Too bad its almost over

          great move to take your time. its about getting paid. the boxing business is strong and crooks like arum don't care anything about the fighters after they are used up. get paid mickey on a per fight deal.

            Just my 2 cents


            Mikey/Ribert & Mayweather can say whatever they want but think it's basically a done deal. Floyds been praising Mikey since Maidana 1 now they're hanging out & Hausers article said Garcia is with Haymon already.

            Mayweather sees Mikey as a potential Mexican American superstar with actual P4P talent and can get to the top off talent not just hype and good looks.

            I wouldn't be suprised if Garcia gets on the potential Degeale / Jack with Mayweather /Matchroom in London or one of the remaining prime time slots
            With PBC.

                  This damn guy has been out of the ring to long, just like he bailed in that fight against salido when he broke his nose, i think this guy just doesnt want to fight, hes a good boxer, but he doesn't want to be in that ring, thats clear.

                    I bet this dude still looks out the window sometimes and wonders if Gamboa is out there.

                      Roc nation will give him the type of money he wants. Plus he can take easy fights.
