Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Feels Garcia Made Mistake in Rejecting Cotto Deal

Shut up Oscar and stop crying and hating on Haymon!

He's just being honest man. I think Mikey did make a mistake by not signing up for the Cotto fight.
But I guess we won't really know for a couple of years till we see who Mikey fights in his next 4-5 fights.

Haha hes not wrong. Alot of pbc fighters are inactive and unknown to the casual

No one even cares about Matthyse since he went to Golden Boy. Only fighter he has is Canelo and he illegally stole him

[thack]

Oscar the snake!

First, let’s get something straight, Mikey Garcia is talented but he never liked fighting and he has no aspirations of being in the HOF. Mickey came back for one thing and one only, mar-key pay days and that’s it.

Mikey’s problem is that one, he wasted 2 prime years and he’s now 29 with 3 maybe 4 years left. There simply isn’t enough time to fight his way through enough branded guys to demand mar-key money. Garcia doesn’t have a contract with either Showtime, ESPN or HBO and can't bring PPV numbers. Mikey’s best chance is to wait out a big name, beat him, and become the cash cow others want to fight. Fighting a name like, Pac, Floyd, Cotto, Canelo or someone with an established brand is Mickey’s quickest way to the top.

In the end, Mikey just blew a golden opportunity and there is no guaranty he gets another. If what Mikey is after is a mar-key fighter for mar-key money he’ll need to cut a deal with a mar-key promoter. That’s the world we live in, it’s not the player, it’s the game.

Garcia cares more about legacy than money. Oscar cares more about money than legacy. They two opposites, and contrary to popular belief, opposites don't always attract.

Oscar is 10000000% right. He IS the Ambassador of Boxing. Canelo IS the only superstar in Boxing.

GBP or get a job. Can't wait to post pictures of Nike Farcia cutting my grass and cleaning my pool in 2020.

Garcia would've got his ass whooped. The Broner fight proved he has no power above 135

Garcia-Matthysse would have been nice.

Dela Hoya is just mad because Mikey won't wear fishnets & high heels..
