Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Rejects Golden Boy's Linares Offer, Explains Why

[Shadoww702]

Ouch looks bad on Mikey

??? Easter is better and younger. Linaries looked like sht his last fight and has been KO'd before.

golden boy called his Bluff and he chickened out

It sounds more like after the Golden Boy scenario Mikey looked elsewhere and is already in talks with some other camp..If it's another Champion (Easter) within the division (younger, taller, faster) for more $$, how could you really hate on that as a Fan??

so, what happened? i don't get it, did GBP try to get him sign with the company or what?

Does Linares deserve 50/50?

It’s in the article. This basically sums it up

just as Golden Boy is looking to do what's best for their company, I am also looking to do what's best for me."

[Shadoww702]

Surprised he wouldn't go for the easier fight first. He probably feels like he beats them all easily regardless of order.


I'm not complaining, as long as he fights them all. His words suggest he's getting $1.5 million for his next fight.

I was also??? Linares is the wrong side of 30. Looked terrible his last fight. Has been KO'd 3 times. Once in round 2!!! And another in round 1.

Demarco KO'd him and hes lost to Broner!

HELL NO!!! More like 70-30 Split and thats being nice...

This fight isn't going to happen. Mikey will more than likely move up in weight and fight bigger names for bigger money.

Linares unfortunately is stuck. Flanagan moved up in weight, Garcia moved on, and Davis doesn't bring a lot of money to the table.

At least they both tried but lets just say if they do fight it won't happen until the summer of 2018. HIGHLY DOUBTFUL

Just retire you punk or go do ballet, you soft weak sissy.

linares doesnt deserve 50-50. they should have come back with a better split in garcias favor but i get the feeling haymon was going to offer mikey more money to fight his guy no matter what. he doesnt want mikey losing to a golden boy fighter

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Another reason why Oscar is a ****** promoter. Fighters turn fights down all the time. Gbp are the only ones who do press releases about it. Fighters look at that type of stuff

Haymon and his followers want Mikey to lose to a black fighter. The agendas obvious.
