Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Crawford, Pacquiao Are The Fights I Want!

[filup79]

mikey garcia is ducking lomachenko. mentions other Top rank fighters but not loma!!!

He already said for Loma to move up and win a belt before they fight. He don't people saying that Loma was too small if he beats him in Lomas first fight at 135. Mikey ducking Loma? LMAO Loma trains at his brother's gym in Oxnard. They've seen Loma since he moved to Oxnard and use their gym. Both Robert and Mikey know what Loma is about and aren't afraid of him

I don't know why Lomachenko or Linares can't happen ASAP, but I would rather Mikey chase Crawford before Crawford moves to 147, than to wait around (see GGG) hoping for a fight! Who is Linares fighting next that would be bigger than a fight with Mikey Garcia? I understand Loma wanting revenge, but a Salido fight is not going to be bigger than a Garcia fight!

mikey has been talking a lot lately. feed him to the wolves. i dont see him beating pac or crawford.

Arum will never let MIKEY get shot at PAC because he's a smarter fighter than PAC. Also the top stank factor. This is just talk. Lets see PAC vs CRAWFORD!! Thats all top stank and doable!

I don't really get Mikey, he was going to be groomed as the next big star by Bob arum, had him having great winnable fights and was being groomed to be a potential oppnent of Pacquiao, then he breaks the contract and wants to fight Top rank fighters again,.

That's cuz bobby had his hands in Mickey's pockets....

He (and likely his family) were upset about the money split. Top Rank takes more than he was willing to accept. Some of this was addressed in the GBP - Haymon litigation. Apparently TR has "management fees" that result in a higher take home for the company. With Haymon he's likely not even paying a fee at all (this was also addressed in the opinion). When you consider the purse sizes, it makes a big difference. Not sure it'll workout for him, but the money matters when you think about where he's at in his career. He could have 2-3 PPV caliber fights coming in the next year.

Don't forget about the automatic contract renewal mickey didn't agree to....

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Pacquiao was okay with it, and now he is worth more than a hundred million dollars worth in properties and cash along with the endorsements he got in his home country and other foreign countries. If Bob Arum makes you a star at the highest possible gain with some loss, its better that way rather than being sat on the table once you lost a high profile fight.

you forget Mikey also wants to be great. Most fighters on Toprank know the game and dont care for legacy or greatness they just wanna be paid. Look at bradley and crawford are they good? yes but they arent really intrested in testing themselves they fight whoever top rank lines up which are fights everyone knows they can win. So all they are doing is piling up paycheck after paychecks.

I would like to see that fight but I would want to see Rigo. and Loma first.

[Redd Foxx]

Saw the headline and knew some of the resident idiots here would say he's ducking Loma. That's about as sensible as saying Loma ducked Rigo.
How long should Garcia continue to drain himself and wait around for a guy who isn't in his weight class and is busy chasing Salido?
