What do you mean no reward.??

Easter is a champion.

Reward, as in MONEY! Can't pay your mortgage with a belt!

Kigali makes his points sometimes, but he gets invested and won't back down. Flanagan has better skill than Easter, he handled A- Petrov easily, while Easter struggled with a punch eating, solid B Shakilov. Boxing is an art, nobody owns it.

And I'm not even saying Easter is a bad fighter. It's just WAYYY to soon to take on a P4P Top 10 boxer after just 20 fights. And you best win is an SD against Commey... Easter will lose. Make no mistake about it.

Not sure I'm right but I think Garcia should have signed with GBP for the short term fight deal. In most cases it's like 3 fight deals which would have only been like a year and a half if he fought every 6 months which is not unrealistic.

He would have gotten the HUGE Cotto fight, and regardless of the stage of his career that Cotto is in, it would be a great name on Garcias record and brought him some mainstream fame. Next up I think GBP would have gotten him the Flanigan fight or some other throw away fight for good money. Then the Linares fight late 2018. Say what you want but the 2 biggest names in the sport right now in Canelo and Joshua both have promoters and I think they both do a great job for their fighters and it shows in ticket sales and PPV numbers for both. Garcia has the kind of skill and personality to be a big star and I think he was on his way there with Top Rank before the contract dispute sidelined him.

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 pitched a damn shut out against Donkey Kong. lol

What are the other options? There's Figueroa, who else?
There are no big names waiting for him.
I don't think he can retire early at the rate he's going.
Everyone else wants to retire already.
