He had the other offer on the table all along and was just playing the press throwing names out there. It's all he's been doing since he came back. Cotto? Crawford? The guy is just attaching other names to his name. That's all he is doing.

We knew from the start the fight wasn't going to be made when GB was talking about a 50/50 split. Linares is not the draw that Mikey is. GB wasn't going to be asking for any options but were going to ask for a 50/50 split when Mikey would be the one bringing in the crowd in SoCal. Nobody showed up to see Linares last fight at the Forum. Mikey should fight Easter next and then force a purse bid if GB is still trying to do a 50/50 split. Funny how Oscar was quick to say that GGG didn't deserve a big split because he wasn't a big draw but wants 50/50 when Linares isn't the draw that Mikey is.

So either Showtime wasn't interested in Linares vs Garcia (which I highly doubt) or Haymon/Showtime simply doesn't want to do business with Golden Boy which is my guess and that's a hurdle I am not sure they can get past.
But honestly I don't see this fight happening and it's a damn shame because in my opinion based on pure boxing skills these are 2 of the Top 10 in the world.

He could of also had the Cotto fight which he called for and then when they responded back to him he turned that fight down too.

I like Garcia a lot but it's getting tedious hearing him calling guys out and claim they are avoiding him only to be offered more than fair deals and then say no. I don't know. It's hard to put your finger on what the motives are because it doesn't make him look good.
Maybe he's just a yes man when it comes to Al Haymon and he's impulsive and calls for fights and then when it comes to pulling the trigger Uncle Al says "No. Fight this guy instead".
Moving forward any call out Mikey does should be taken with a grain of salt and not taken seriously at all. He's played this game 3 or 4 times now.
