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

[kingstip9]

If Garcia were to fight Linares id predict Garcia to knock him out.
He's a bit of a Princess when it comes to the negotiations, but he has great accuracy and I just don't like linares chances.

But you can't count it as a sure thing, fight needs to happen to get the credit.

Will be interesting to see how garcias resume goes over the next 12 months.

He's all over the shop recently, talking about fighting Miguel cotto and all sorts of stuff.
Clearly after the money fights

I think Mikey is too good for 135,he just beat an accomplished welterweight & destroyed him far worse than Porter did whos now fighting for another belt at ww. I don't know how hed do at ww, but it's actually sad that hes just too damn skilled for 135 or even 140 just like Mayweather/pac.

I think hed give Crawford an amazing fight at 140.

Broner is no accomplished 147pder.2nd he did not DETROY him.3rd Linares with his feet gives Mikey much better fight then Easter or any 140pder now that Crawford is gone.I would pick Mikey even but this is a DUCK to easier opp.

BS style make fights Linares is much harder style for Miley then Easter RIGHT NOW.I think Easter can be better fighter then Linares at some point BUT not now.And Mikey athough great fighter is NO BIG DRAW.Linares with his fights in UK and others draws pretty close to Mikey whether right or wrong.This is a DUCK.And really doubt Showtime is willing to pay more for Easter then HBO and SHOW would pay for Garcia v Linares. DUCK AND HE PROB WOULD HAVE WON.

If Linaries is such a big draw why did he just fight on HBO after dark which is usually for prospects???

Broner/Garcia numbers were huge. Provide link to your great UK numbers??

Mikey Garcia has a LOT of FANS!!! Every MexiCAN i know knows who he is! Black ppl know who he is also. REAL fight fans do also. Casual fans dont!

The fight was Jr. WW. And Broner was pretty good there.

Linares is shop warn and has a suspect chin. You right his best chance at surviving was his feet running.

That was Broner BRINGING IN THOSE NUMBERS!!!! Do your reseach Broner always brings numbers like Floyd I think a lot watch to see him lose. But Mikey(even though much better fighter) Has never been big draw.There is no dobt Linares is 1 or 2 and I really doubt they was more money for Easter on SHOW then HBO,SHOW bidding for Garcia Linares.And even if Haymon is sweeting pot I cant be much.Huge reason they all get away with this s hite is because fans like you.

If Mikey Garcia fought Linares over Easter he ducking Easter.

If he fights Easter now he ducking Linares.

Oscar was snorting coke again and dressing in drag thinking Linares is worth 50/50.

Sht If i would of known a few of these fans REALLY would bet Linares to beat Mikey I would LOVE for that fight!!!! Easy fkn $$$$$ betting Mikey Garcia. All DAY! Every day!!! Once you have back sht up woth $$$ you see REAL quick they lying through their TEETH!!!

I hope they DO fight after Easter. Ill make sure remever some of these names...

Not running watch him fight he just moves his feet.angles and in and out.Trust me much harder fight RIGHT NOW then Easter(who I like and would love to see next)But Mikey and his people are hoping Linares face gos next fight and they can avoid a tougher fight.CLEAR DUCK of fight he prob wins to fight EASIER opp.
