Comments Thread For: Espinoza: Garcia-Lipinets Will Be Better Fight Than People Think

[My Low Place]

Look why don't you make a thread distinguishing between Mikey and Adonis.
You may have a point, as to which one is worse.
Mikey may be worse, imho, because he's making way too much noise about fighting top fighters, yet fights nobodies.

no need for a thread, i dont even know how to make them

but i compare them bc they were both on the p4p list back end in 2013...

mikey is still there today after taking 3 years off and beating no one of note...meanwhile adonis is nowhere to be found even with proof of backdated rankings showing that he is 2-0 vs opponents in the top 10, in his last 3 fights (all won by ko), and he's never took a 3 year break that allowed him to keep a clean slate..

i just cannot support bs like this

Espinoza trying to hype up a weak opponent. Garcia excuse that he got paid more. So now fighters are getting paid more to fight weak unknown fighters? Or is he lying. Espinoza Saying Linares is weak that’s funny.

Any proof of this? How much is he making in this Lipinets fight? And how much was he asking in the the Robert Easter fight?

whst he’s saying is Lipinets will fight for cheap which leaves more money for mikey. Money vs Linares is a way more expensive fight and apparently easter wants a lot more than Lipinets will fight for

This is a good fight. Two undefeated fighters. One fighter moving up in weight and will become a multi division champion if he wins. Lipinets ranked 8 in the world and he can punch. Y’all only judge fights off of popular names lol. If it was on hbo y’all would love it

Pretty sure most of us have seen Lipinets fight so how can you say hes a legitimate threat to Garcia? He has power and a good chin and everything else is average. If Loma or Crawford had a choice of Linares Robert Easter or Lipinets I guarantee you they both would have chose Linares or Easter Jr. Mikey is taking the easiest challenge possible just so he can say hes a 4 division champ. Hes a fraud

Thats the thing Garcia isnt saying how much hes making and hes not fightingin Vegas so its not public record. If he really was making more to fight Lipinets than Easter Jr. He would have revealed his purse, but hes not so it would lead any resonable person to assume that hes lying. He left Top Rank because they wanted him to fight Gamboa. He ran fast ad he could to Pbc and now hes been taking all these cherrypick fights like the rest of Pbc. Im surprised they havent folded yet honestly. I guess as long as they have Showtime theyll never be completely out of business

Translation:
Me and Haymon have become powerless to make these clowns fight each other.
We're broke. We can't provide them offer they can't refuse.
That's why Easter vs Garcia didn't materialize.
We're helpless.
Garcia vs Lipinets fight is cheaper.
(Showtime didn't really make tons of money in the circus fight contrary to what people think. We're still broke.)

The networks aren't going to overpay for these fights. When boxers (e.g. Mikey) stop seeking Broner money for every fight, these fights will happen.

But...but...didn't Espinoza/Showtime made truckloads of money from the Mayweather circus fight?
How come they can't afford Easter/Garcia?
Or TBE is just naturally so greedy, most of the earnings went to his bank account...
