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

[Snowballer]

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.

Why did Canelo fight on Mayweather undergrads? It's called exposure!!

Mikey just got advised to fight a man who has a clear and significant size advantage over him without testing the waters first... Mikey looked smaller than Broner when they fought at 140 and now he's fighting the best WW who is big for his weight... Who is advising and looking out for Mikey..

Look what happened to Brook when he was advised to jump two divisions to fight the best fighter there.

Think about that for a second.

Dude don't sweat yourself, I got over 1500 quotes to get through & your just one of them.

That's what I figured, cheap and plentiful comments like the dollar menu. Just a suggestion, try for quality..

That's very true. The only way this fight makes sense is if Mikey is planning to exit boxing asap and this fight paid the most at the moment.

Because he is basically selling his career to Spence.

Yet they will only praise Oscar for it

That's true! Well, he is the "Golden Boy!" He's also the "Golden Shower Boy" too!

Mikey wasn't advised, I know Mikey personally. He chose to fight Spence. He could have fought Manny or his mandatory but chose Spence.

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

TV ratings don't mean **** when it comes to premium channels. Ratings only matter for regular cable channels where they sell commercial advertising. Look at his ratings from HBO and go wonder why his paydays where 250k to fight at the Forum with a card that had less than a 1 million budget. The Superfly cards got good ratings but all those guys were paid less than 1.2 million together cause they didn't bring in revenue.

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..

Mikey is getting a guaranteed 5 million plus ppv backend. He would get less than 5 million for fighting Lomachenko. He would get less than 5 million for fighting Linares. Facts.

if mikey beats spence he is p4p number 1, no debate.

If he loses to spence, pbc has over 5 guys he can fight from danny garcia to manny pacquiao that he can come right back and fight in a big fight. Does gbp have that? No. Does top rank have that? No

on gbp their is nobody to fight who is even a champion over there besides canelo?

top rank has loma and mikey has showed no interest in crawford, so what's plan B at top rank if he loses to loma?

Beating spence is a bigger win than beating Lomachenko. People see mikey vs loma as a even fight. Nobody has mikey beating spence. The spence fight is harder to win, but it brings more legacy with a win and more money win or lose than the Lomachenko fight.

Mikey jumping 2 weight classes to fight for the biggest purse of his career. Which is 3 times what loma has ever made. To fight the boogeyman. If he wins, it means more than beating a guy who has already lost before.

pennies on a dollar doe

Pretty sure Oscar promoted Floyd and cotto.. DUMMY

I'm pretty sure they both were ppv fighters before that

Seems logical. Except for one thing, he's selling his career. No one believes he will beat spence not even his brother not pbc fighters...

This makes sense if it's his cash out fight because let's be honest, he won't win.. if he would have beat linares and Loma, which I think he would have, he would have not only been p4p number 1, he'd be a star.
And on the upside he won't have himself turned into a paraplegic...

So yeah, pennies on the dollar...
Unless he's cashing out

Men do what they want, boys do what they can

Mikey was offered pacquiao and comnmney. He picked spence. His brother didn't want it, his father didn't want it. And he still said give me spence.

Mikey is the definition of chasing greatness. If he wins he is the p4p number 1 fighter in the sport.

I can't believe you dudes are actually trying to spin it like it's a bad thing.

Spence ain't drago. He is very beatable. Mikey may not beat him. But spence ain't what yall make him out to be. Mikey isn't gonna get ruined. He may get knocked out, but he will be champ again regardless.
