Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: 'I Control My Career, Get Fights, Manage Myself'

[BeLikeWater]

I’m excited for the @mikeygarcia Spence fight. I’m proud that Mikey is daring to be great and fighting at welterweight without knowing what it’s like but without a promoter nobody is taking care of his best interest and Spence is being positioned to become a star by his promoter.

Spence can be like my hero sugar ray Leonard, but he has no promoter to plan out and guide his career. #strategie #goldenboy https://t.co/JivCpGiQ2i

You're right dlh called it. Being sacrificed for Spences gain.

Gotta give Mikey props for this but it may be a little too ambitious. It reminds me of when Trinidad was moving up in weight to fight Hopkins and had he won, the next fight was to be Roy Jones jr. But like tito, I think Mikey is biting off more than he can chew.

Bob Arum wont let Loma fight Garcia. The Linares fight came with a 2 fight contract I belive

the cotyo fightbiffer was a three fight offer. They ended up offering a one off for Linares. Money made a mistake turning it down.

But last year he said Spence doesn't have a promoter when he was trying to get Spence. So now Spence has a promoter?

And Mikey is the one who wanted and pursued this fight. Nobody was asking for this fight but Mikey

Look let's stop with the tomfoolery. Haymon is the promoter. Let's not go back and forth with the semantics, adviser, manager, promoter. Haymon is running the show and if youre not bright enough to see that I don't know if conversing with you is beneficial.

I believe he made more fighting Lipnets??? Linares is good but would not beat Mikey. Garcia would of knocked him out also.

Good point! I think Garcia and Spence will be fine doing what they're doing. The fight should do good numbers and will only help their brand.

Oscar, like Mikey, was his own promoter after he left Top Rank. Right?
