Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Wants to Remain Free Agent for Big Fights

[Boxfan83]

it doesn't count as a 'big' fight for Mikey - or any other as you say. Easter is high risk and double low reward - low reward financially, low reward for reputation

Assuming Pac still looks good that could be a great fight and Pac can push back against Arum more than Crawford

Its going to take a very awkward fighter with power to beat Easter and even then itll be an ugly win. Easter is tall and long with some pop, not to many guys at 135 or 140 will want that.

& if I were Mikey, a Pac fight would definitely be the goal.

I love that Mikey is doing this. I hope he stays strong and remains a free agent.

But the scumbag promoters will try to freeze him out and make an example of him. So that other boxers don't get any ideas.

As another poster mentioned...I suspect that this is why he hasn't been able to get the Linares fight.

Schaefer has nothing to offer a guy like Mikey. He has NOBODY under his roster which is the only reason Mikey would sign with a promoter to gain access to fighters. Schaefer has a couple amateurs who he just signed who are all years away from any relevant fights and has only promoted 2 events the entire year with nothing scheduled right now for the summer. Based on the info we have he is not involved at all with the Broner fight. And only promoted Mikey's last fight because Haymon said so. Haymon got him the fight, the network to air it and Haymon has all the fighters. Why have a middle man when he can just sign with Haymon stay free agent and fight all the guys in Haymon's stable. If he signs with a promoter it's to gain access to fights against guys who are not signed with Haymon.

You're probably right, he can probably succeed with Haymon alone, like Floyd did. That's why I said "If you must choose one..." I believe Schaefer is going to do big things. The World Boxing Series is coming together, and based on how well he ran GBP, I think Mikey would be in good hands!

Garcia's a great fighter but what a strange looking man, pause.

There's no way Pac will want a Crawford fight at this time unless he gets paid ****** money. But with a Mikey fight the odds are better and he could still bank

[The Tribe]

Sorry Mikey but Haymon didn't get you this big fight for no reason. You will eventually join forces with Haymon. That's how business works.

Easter is flat-footed, cuts no angles, cant even properly use his reach(which nullifies the whole tall and long thing), and constantly smothers his own work.

No offense but youre really overrating Easter, who basically already lost to Commey, who himself is nothing special. Garcia would piece him up.

Commeys a long dude i am interested to see how well Easter boxes on the outside of shakifov. I wanna see if he has good skill off the backfoot. If he does im telling u his height and reach will be a problem 4 any1 at 135-140 except Bud Crawford or antonio orozco.

Isn't he signed with ringstar?

[War Dinamita]

He went from Arum to Haymon. Haymon is pretty much a promoter with how he handles his fighters.
