    Don't think anyone will care about Mikey vs Vargas. Neither has a world title. Vargas just had draws with Thomas Dulorme and Adrien Broner, neither of whom are considered top fighters. Mikey just got shut out by Spence. It's fine as a comeback fight, but what does it lead to? DAZN has no interesting welterweight fights for Mikey.

          From what I was expecting from Hearn he has actually been killing it so far in the US market...look at all the guys he has now...and yeah if he were to get Mikey, that would be a huge coup I think.

          I don't really rate Mikey as a boxer...but he can sell...and would be a money fight still for a lot of guys...I could see guys coming to DAZN to fight him if Mikey comes here.

          Would be a great get for Hearn really

            Meh, good signing but I think Mikey is just looking for a few more fights and probably not against anybody too good.



            I Hearn is smart, he should be trying to get some kind of hold on Andy Ruiz in case he destroys AJ again.

              I asked you who doesn't wanna fight Mikey cause that's what you said...
              Don't answer my question with a question of your own.
              So again which fighter/fighters have rejected a Mikey Garcia fight???
              Are you posting from facts or speaking out your ass again???
              The post clearly says Eddie thinks other fights will sign with DAZN to fight Mikey. Talk about the point of the topic or don't respond at all

                Maybe if Mikey plans on dropping down to 140. But who at 140 is trying to fight Mikey? Once again he doesn't have a title. Maybe Regis for the right amount of money. But if Regis plans on moving up to 147 why would he sign where there are no top name welterweights?

                Haney vs. Mikey at 140 would be the best fight and Haney is already signed.

                If Hearn thinks signing Mikey opens the floodgates he's more clueless than I originally thought.

                Who would you be targeting if you were running DAZN / Matchroom US? That ain't a rhetorical question btw. Genuinely curious. Seems like most of the PBC guys are happy enough where they are so I don't think DAZN / MRUSA have much hope of trying to compete with PBC in depth at 140 / 147, so they've maybe little option but to pick up what names they can across various divisions. I'd make a case that they want to be going for young US talent if they're playing a long game - and they kinda shown an understanding of this with Devin - but they also need good names for 'em to fight.

                You gotta have some ideas on which names would be best for 'em to sign, man, I'm sure you got a better understanding of the US scene and politics than I do.

                  That's right boy! I love proving your ass wrong!
                  Fucc Eddie Hearn and what he thinks! Nobody is gonna sign to DAZN just to fight Mikey!
                  But you said nobody wants to fight Mikey as in fighters have already rejected a fight with Mikey just cause he has no piece of shet belt....
                  I call bullshet on that!
                  I'm sure Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter would fight Mikey if given the opportunity.
                  So quit talking out your ass the way you usually do!
                  Like that other poster says....
                  You claim Eddie Hearn doesn't know how the American boxing market works but you expect us to believe that some clown like you who's never held a job for longer than two weeks does????
                  Stick to facts and quit talking out your ass now!

                    Mikey brings the mexican fan base, so that is always a factor to consider

                      Mikey is chasing money and at the fourth quarter of his career he might not take the fights that the fans actually want. He should go t 140 where Taylor, Prograis and Ramirez are and make a fight with one of them.
