Comments Thread For: Arum: If Mikey Garcia Doesn't Like Offer To Fight Loma - F*** It!

Canelo disagrees.

You are correct, Canelo is a bigger name with the fans and he draws bigger numbers. Also true is that Canelo's promoter was also promoted and built by Arum.

He must be doing something right

Ironically, DLH much like Floyd earned his biggest paydays after leaving Arum. Maybe Lomachencko should follow suit.

Not sure. I attended the Broner fight and there were a lot of people there. He’s won belts in a couple different divisions since leaving. So I assume he’s doing alright.

No. Oscar tried to tie him up in a contract with multiple fights but the $ wasn't there for all the fights....

That's actually incorrect based on facts.

Mikey himself admitted he liked the money and there was to be no contract, just a one fight deal and in his own words decided "to go another way".

He should have taken that fight and they ended up caving into his demands and he still walked.

Exactly. People don't get it. Arum is a PROMOTER. He puts on EVENTS. He's not in the let's try to make Mikey an undefeated fighter business. To me, it's obvious Mikey and Robert do not want to make a fight with Loma. The same type of thing happened with Gamboa a few years back; Mikey threw a wrench in everything because the "numbers weren't right". From there he lost a few years of his prime and further platued in career earnings. If he would have just fought Gamboa, he'd have been in a much better place professionally.

It's really quite simple. Fighters like Mikey, Floyd and others under the Haymon management style are very adept at sucking the good will out negotiations. To the point where an old Dinosaur like Arum says **** this.

You didn't read the whole thing. Bob Arum complains that Mikey, during the negotiations ALWAYS wants the terms in his "COMPLETE" favor, and it would drag on and on trying to get the upper side on the fence against him, and that already happened on Pac-Mayweather and he is not going to let it happen again.

You probably wanted Pacquiao to accept the 40$ million flat fee offer that killed the fight.

Bob Arum isnt trustworthy. He says a lot of things, so what.

Based on what? Loma is at 135 and Mikey is moving back down to 135. The fight is there to be made. Arum is saying he will give Mikey a take it or leave it offer.

Who seems like they dont want the fight again?
