He doesn't fight in the US because he can't draw. Last fight against Campbell did only 106k at the gate with only 2.5k tickets sold.

go where the money is unless you are andre ward and are offered huge money overseas....then you turn that down. cheating doenst travel well!

Linares can't hide out in the UK forever. At some point he'll have to fight Mikey and take his loss like a man.

Well we all know it's not that simple. I'm sure Linares and Mikey both want the fight but it's the business side of boxing that's keeping this side from being made. Always the ****ing business side! Bullshet!

Mikey might as well start looking for an opponent, Linares ain't gonna happen without signing to GBP! I say Tank Davis @ 135, Omar Figueroa Jr. @ 140, or Danny Garcia @ 147, would be excellent fights for Mikey! Stay away from Robert Easter Jr.! I think he's all wrong for Mikey, and no money in it!

Why? Mikey would **** up Easter the same way he did Broner.
Easy money for Mikey!

I'm not so sure about that. Easter is tall, rangy, can box or ****! I like Mikey, but I don't like that fight for him!

Linares is on a completely different level than Flanagan.

Flanagan is one of those guys who is just pretty good a everything, without being outstanding at anything.

The only two times Easter has stepped up he struggled like a mother****er and some might say he even lost both fights.
So I don't see Easter beating Mikey at all.
Mikey is on a whole different level above Easter!

Very good fight, I believe Flanagan is a level above the other U.K. lightweights and could beat Linares.
