Comments Thread For: Report: Robert Easter the Favorite to Fight Mikey Garcia Next

[daggum]

those were close fights,but facing garcia is totally different,i really think these guys get up for certain fighters,,,it's hard to train for commey,i can't picture easter training as hard for commey as he would for garcia,,,they should always train hard but i think certain opponents make them train harder and put more into it,,,no comparison,facing garcia is just different,unification,he's considered one of the best pound for pound and commey wasn't..but i think garcia beats him

training hard doesnt give you the skill and talent to win. when you are a bum you are a bum. broner could train his entire life and he still wouldnt be good. not saying easter is as bummy as broner but he is gonna need more than training. memo training maybe...

Do you not know how the purses are paid for? The premium cable companies (in this case Showtime) usually provide a package between $2 - 3 million dollars. That money is then divided between the fighters on each card that the station televises.

Just look at the breakdowns for cards on HBO and Showtime. The purses always add up (close) to the same amount of money for a reason.

The promoters attempt to make their money (profit) at the live gates (covering production expenses exclusively and splitting marketing expenses; insurance kicks ass though).

Why do you think Arum was so mad at HBO? That is littlerally how the money is made lol

It's also the reason many couldn't understand how Haymon could possibly pay for those cards himself (which explains the $500 million rumors; although unconfirmed).

The model works different on network TV (more liability on promoters), why do you think everybody was staying on premium cable for so long? It significantly reduced the risk for promoters and made it much easier to turn a profit.

If you think I'm wrong, just do the math for that cards yourself. Checkout Berto v. Porter, or the last Lara/Charlo card, or any card that had appear on premium cable (HBO has been playing with the budget at times though).

Mikey will get $1 minimum no matter what from this point on.

Maybe a million but not no $1.5 million. That's for sure!

Mikey wins this fight easily. Lol, just wait till he opens as the 20-1 favorite... -5000 lol

[SkillspayBills]

That's a great freaking matchup. I favor Mikey against anyone under 140 sans Loma so let's get this **** on!

Wait till after the fight amiga.

That's a LOT of **** to eat.

The few times Broner let his hands go..Mikey looked like he was ready to bail....like he did with Salido.

Mikey didn't quit stop lying. His nose was broke by a headbutt

Old midget Salido has big flaws and he made Mikey quit.

Who does Easter have on his list of kills? Salido is better than all of them. Easter hasn't faced a name yet. He's having a hard time with the B class. You're deflecting. What does Easter do so well? Footwork?

I'm convinced 99% of you guys are not fans of boxing, just trolls who like fights. Who wouldn't like this fight? How did race get brought into this? I'm black, but Mikey had been in my top 5 for years now. Top 3 now. Crawford, Mikey and Rigo and Loma a close 4th.

I got Mikey beating everyone under 140 quite easy, including Loma.
Hopefully it gets made b4 he moves up too far!
