Mikey Garcia: Big Announcement Later Today

[saintpat]

LOL, what do you mean? Not putting his fighter in a detrimental position. Way hes handling the Joshua and Whyte situations is exactly what a fighter wants.

Whyte could be gifted a title shot since Hearn promotes him and Tony Johnson, but instead has to run an obstacle course and be AJ’s apron to protect him.

AJ forced to turn down FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ... I’m sure everyone wants to sign up with a guy who will try to do everything in his power to keep them from taking the biggest payday in the history of their division.

If it's about signing with another promoter, so what?
It usually starts with fighting cans.
Big announcements should all be about taking on meaningful fights.

Joshua's the A side, gets everything that comes with that. You dont give that up. I'm sceptical the fights a $100 million fight, its not being financed in any regular way. People crazy saying "Joshua can get more than $50mil", thats bigger than Canelo/Mayweather. Fight has to go over $100mil for Wilder to see any money, if its being financed in a regular way.

If theyre prepared to take a loss on it, ******** on a Wilder win and future earnings, theyll pull some other **** that A sides shouldnt be in a position to deal with, its Hearn's job to ensure such things dont happen.

Announcement I'm assuming will be on Showtime during Leon Santa Cruz vs Abner Mares Card so maybe an Exclusive Showtime Network Deal along with the OFFICIAL Announcement of him vs Robert Easter Jr at Staples in Los Angeles which haven't been officially announced

Yes. Showtime stream for the Tyson Fury fight. He was the last guest and he announced it. Look for the stream and go to the very end.
