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

Tank Davis next getting by with talent raw strength struggling with guys he shouldn’t doesn’t train all out hanging out trouble brewing no way he goes in with Loma

Floyd knows this, that's why Tank won't be fighting Loma anytime soon! However, that being said, Tank just turned 23! Not too many mature 23 yr. old, former champions! i'd like to see Tank fight Farmer next! A GRJ vs. Davis fight @ 130 would do well in the D.C. area too!

Garcia's career has been so uninteresting, always a roadblock for this guy to make solid fights.

totally agree

The most disappointing part of this article is that the 1/20 card is only televising two fights. I was hoping to at least see Browne and/or Kownacki as well. Hopefully they will stream it online though...

Easter is worth maybe $100k for that fight. Lipnets is also basically unknown. 150k for him.

Not sure if you read the article, but what he's saying is the total purse offered wasnt big enough to satisfy both fighters. Mikey will get $1.5 - 2 million for Lipnets. I believe its closer to $2 million based on comments made in the media about GBP and Linares falling through.

Easter would've likely wanted a minimum of $1 million to fight Garcia.

I imagine Showtime wasn't going to pay them $3 million for a main event, then have to build out the rest of the card. Pushing costs closer to $4 million for the fighters alone.

I don't think Showtime (or any premium cable card) has had any non-PPV cards with an aggregate purse north of $3 million on a premium cable channel in the last 2-3 years.

The only non-PPV boxing cards that were north of that $3 million number in recent memory were the PBC network TV cards. Those were aberrations to the traditional model.

Just my takeaway. I don't like it, but I understand what's going on. I also think that $2 million number is the reason Garcia has to fight in San Antonio. They're trying to see what type of draw he really is (like his family claims he can be). If the live gate doesn't do well (north of 15k tickets), I expect to see his purse drop back to the $1 - 1.5 million range.

There must be a lot of ducks out there, because I haven't heard anyone but Comney calling for a fight with Easter Jr.!

What is it with guys named "Garcia" and cherry-picking fights. Seems like every Garcia in boxing should be named Cherry...

You're buggin'. Easter is worth more than Lipnets.
