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

Motorhead is kinda questionable taking Oscars sworn enemies opinions of Oscar as gospel. He has it in for Oscar it's plain to see...

Exactly! Why would anyone believe everything they hear when someone's known enemies are talking crap about them??
He's an idiot for even bringing them up!

I like Garcia’s fighting style a lot, but I can’t see him beating Spence. Spence is too big for him to deal with for twelve rounds.
Don’t you think he should be fighting Lomachenko at 135 instead?

Agreed he had a chance to fight Jorge Linares last year and it was a one fight offer no rematch clause instead he took on Robert Easter who wasn't gonna beat him for an easier payday and now he's going to lose to Spence when he should've stayed at 135 to fight Lomanchenko instead! This dude is a very good fighter but his business acumen leaves something to be desired

He would have Linares if GB didn't ask for 50/50 split. Linares as much of praise he gets from all the GB kiss @ss writers, didn't deserve a 50/50 split when he cant even draw 3k to see him fight. Same with Loma, Mikey told him to his face to move up after Loma beat Sosa. Loma ended up staying at 130 for another year and no way Mikey would allow Arum to dictate everything to have it Arum's way. Arum has said so himself, he agrees to his terms or they move on.

Plus he just negotiated the biggest contract in North America sports history!
Do you think someone who's really ****** is gonna be able to negotiate a contract like that???
Think about it dumbass!

Canelo would have gotten that deal without Oscar. Canelo doesn't really need Oscar or GB to promote him anymore, he could get paid on his own. It be said if Oscar was able to turn his other fighters he's had under contract for years into stars and get them paid, but he hasn't.

Mikey a smart dude he can basically fight whoever he wants to fight since he’s not contracted with anyone.

But he doesn't. Go figure

[Snowballer]

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

Some fighters don't need promoters i.e DLH, Floyd, Cotto. Cash cows don't need promoters. Mikey is not a cash cow.

There is zero reason for Mikey not being a super star, but he isn't.

He's Mexican, is fluent in English and Spanish, gets a lot of youtube exposure, is undefeated, born and raised in Southern California, has a very entertaining style, but the man has not and will likely not reach his marketing potential.

His down fall, his business decisions. Maybe he's a comformist and is happy with the level He's reached, but he's definitely an underachiever.

Then why didn't canelo ditch Oscar and go to dazn alone? You think he kept dlh on for friendship purposes?

Glad to see fighters learning from past generation's mistakes and taking more control over their careers. Other than making competitive fights, Thats what it's all about.

People are saying Mikey is a sacrificial lamb and he is there to makes pants into a star.. but like Mikey fkin said he makes his own decisions nobody lured him into this fight, it is what he chose because he believes in himself.
Mikey would destroy Linares within 8 rounds

There was zero chance of Linares getting 50/50. Oscar was snorting the good sht on that one
