You either like to play the devil's advocate or you are really out of touch...

Being a fan is ok but being a #fanboi is clouding your judgement..

Stop pretending you know boxing. You do know people can look up your lies right?

Are you seriously acting like Mikey is some kind of draw?

He's more of draw than LInares. Mikeys has brought in more 10k for his past 3 fights in different cities. Linares can barely draw, I should know I've been to his fights at the Forum and recently fought on Facebook at Casino that holds small fights. Only way Linares gets paid is if fights for another lead promoter, GB been paying him 250k when they promote his fights.

Well for startes GBP could Market the crap out of his Mexican heritage, his SoCal background, plaster his face all over under Canelo banners, have his fight on Canelo undercards, get him multi million dollar deals with DAZN... That's not even including that GBP would not use him as a sacrificial lamb against Errol Spence before he even reached his full potential.

Why would Mikey want to be below Canelo and fight on his undercards when he's headlining cards and fighting in front of 10k+ in different cities. Mikey doesn't need GB to get a deal done with DAZN, Mkey can get his own deal done on his own. Lets not act like Oscar alone got that deal done. That deal was done on Canelo's name alone. Oscars has plenty of fighters that he could have done what you are saying but he did nothing for them and made none into stars.

beating Linares would have done a lot more for Mikey’s career than Lipinets

Linares is nothing but GB media hype. All of the GB writers praise him as some elite fihgters but he's never beaten a top level fighter. His name is filled with Euro fighters that aren't considered top fighters. Mikey wouldn't get credit for beating a Linares that has already been stopped by fighters below Mikeys level.

How right you are. Mikey is doing everything a PBC fighter would do and without the reward. If he would of went with Golden Boy he would be making many millions more than he is now. Mikey thinks he is smarter than he actually is.

Working with GB he would be making many millions? Other than Canelo, GB has made no stars and nobody is making them millions. If GB didn't have Canelo they would be in the red big time, Canelo is their only money maker.

What a great legacy and exit plan.. get pummeled by a much heavier fighter for pennies on the dollar instead of becoming the #1 p4p top undisputed unified fighter by beating linares and Loma.

He couldn't close the deal for those fighters yet he's a great business man? He's can go back to flipping houses soon..

He didn't close the deal with Linares because he wasn't going to give him 50/50 and have GB profit of his name. People don't know this but Mikey offered Linares to fight him on Showtime with Ringstar being the lead promoter and GB said no.

Mikey haters have that slave mentality; they don't like to see a fighter take control of their business like Floyd, Cotto, and Mikey!

Yet they will only praise Oscar for it

Yet they will only praise Oscar for it

he would get way more credit for beating Linarestgan the zero credit he got for Lipinets.

Who did Lipinets best again? How many titles and defenses does he have?

You can say what you want about Linares but mikey would have got way more credit for beating him. That’s a fact and u know it.

How about TV ratings? I believe Linares has had more viewers.
