garcia can do what he wants, hes certainly got nothing to be scared of from linares

Agreed, and I think Easter presents more potential problems than Linares, stylistically. I've got mikey beating either but still, he's not scared of no Linares.

Showtime was more than happy to go 7 years without bothering with Top Rank, and it's hilarious that you're bent on thinking that this is any different.

Linares has struck out on the Garcia fight; Garcia likely ends up fighting Robert Easter Jr in early 2018 on Showtime.

You're a fool if you think that Linares already has a TV date in hand.

lol Hbo will have dats done talkin with u lol

All you see anywhere is Corona and Golden Boy Promotions plastered everywhere, with Top Rank nowhere to be seen.

You add that the fight was mandated for a vacant belt and it's beyond clear that you're full of ****.

there were copromoter now give it up fanboy

GB keeps trying to make their offers public. Mikey prefers to negotiate in private. Why is that? Because GB's offers aren't legit offers. They're just designed to fool the public and sway public opinion. GB knows the fight doesn't get done at 50/50. It's a publicity stunt.




You read what GB wants you to read. They play the media like a fiddle day in and day out while Haymon says nothing. Rafael is always going to paint GB's position in the most positive light possible.




They were willing to match their guy up as long as the split was lopsided in their favor. Based on the realities of the marketplace, a Mikey-Linares fight should be at least 60/40 in Mikey's favor. GB was willing to take a chance and do the fight if the $ terms were too good to pass up.




But it's not like Linares fight paid more, but didn't have rematch possibilities, it paid LESS and didn't have rematch possibilities. Every single thing about the Easter fight is better. I'm not sure what there is even to discuss at this point. Mikey took the highest reward/lowest risk fight. It was a no brainer.




Always enjoy chatting with you man. This site is a cess pool generally, but you offer intelligent and civil discussion. We appreciate it very much.

we will just have agree to disagree but a lot of what your saying sounds like you know more than his bro/trainer.But like I said I'm burmned writing about this said everthing already but yea have a good day

If Mikey beats Easter Jr for the IBF belt, I foresee Showtime giving Mikey a bag to go and see if he can bring Linares over for the fight. Mikey would pick the promoter that he wanted to run the show, and Showtime will have as little to do with Oscar as possible, but I do see them taking that calculated risk with the fight. Shortly after that fight, Mikey moves to 140lbs anyway.

If Mikey is the undefeated WBC/IBF unified champion, Linares probably flexes his diamond belt if still eligible to force the fight.

Based on what? Just because you said it?

The fight went to purse bid, Golden Boy won the bid by less than $5000, and the WBO split the take 60/40 Lomachenko, per their rules.

You look like a ****ing clown.

The WBC has yet to lay out the split terms, but I doubt that they make it 50/50 tbh.

And anything better than that would be more akin to the value of the fight.
