Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Money Must be Right to Make Robert Easter Fight

[Boxing lives]

Dude should have stayed retired, nothing but a big joke. Picking the easiest guys per division to claim himself a multi division champ, ducking Cotto, Linares and now even ducking much smaller Lomachenko.

Loma will never stand up to his master bob arum and demand a fight with Mikey. He knows he will get beat and pull a rigo.

isn't he making like 3 millions for lippinets? what more could he ask to fight easter?? seriously i like mikey but as of late he's been talking some dumb things

You really believe he's making 3 million to fight this bum? Those are rumors but logically this fight wont even generate 3 million dollars. He said he would have had to take a pay cut to fight Robert Easter Jr., his career high was 1 million against Broner, why would they give him 3 million to fight Lipinets? This fight will do dog **** numbers compared to Garcia Broner and they each got 1 mill

What does a fight between them really bring in? No one knows who Easter is, and Mikey isn't exactly a household name yet. He's earning $3.5M for Lipinets which isn't bad, but I can't imagine he'd earn much more for Easter.

He's making 3.5 million for Lipinets?!?!?!?!?!

Holy ****, no wonder he never faces top opponents. Why would he? Al Haymon has him on the Espinoza welfare program to fight opponents he's always a huge favorite against, so why take a risk when at this rate he can go the next decade raking in 8 - 10 mil a year fighting easy fights, plus endorsements, and retire with 70 million in his account and a nice fake resumé to fool the fanboys with just like Floyd?

This is the problem with modern boxing. It used to be that people actually wanted to make money off it, so if you wanted to get paid a lot, you had to take great fights that the fans woud pay to see. But now, somehow it's become the welfare era where guys like Jay-Z and Al Haymon are just giving money away to guys even though they see no return on the money. 3 million to Spence to fight a tuneup no one is interested in. No way that fight makes money. 3.5 to Mikey to fight 14-0 Eastern Euro Lipinets who has zero fanbase. It's insanity. They have to be losing millions on these fights, after already losing half a billion on PBC, and yet they are still doing it, as if the Illuminati itself is bankrolling them unlimited funds to just keep losing money and losing money. It makes no sense. I don't get it. And it is ruining boxing.

Every champion from 130 to 135 knows who Easter is! Trust me!

Exactly! He's the guy that lost his title fight but got the robbery decision because he's with Haymon. Just one more in a long line of fake paper Al Haymon titlists. Ain't no one around the weight class scared of him. He's also a weight bully who should be fighting at 140, but his team must know if he can't even legitimately beat B-level guys at 135, then he would just get exposed even worse at 140. Sorry to be harsh if you're a big fan of his, but so far he hasn't impressed at all at the world class level, so for you to act like he's some elite guy that other fighters are scared of is inviting criticism.

Which is why I don't think mikey will fight lomachenko anytime soon. He'll price himself out. MIKEY MONEY GARCIA.

This clown steady trying to duck tough comp. He's more than willing to fight the smaller Loma doe. Too bad lil Loma will box this dude's ears off.

Meanwhile.........

What cave is Thurman hiding in these days?



Scared of Spence or scared of Crawford moving up? Is he just on the businessman route these days?

Stop it. Loma is fighting smaller guys regular. His best win is a short 122 pounder. Lil Loma never fought ANYBODY bigger than him. At least mikey is fighting up.
