Mikey Garcia: 'I Control My Career, Get Fights, Manage Myself'
lol who's he fooling
I like when I hear this shyt from PBC fighters that they are not controlled by anyone.
Just cause you don't have a promoter doesn't mean that you don't run along someone else's plans and you are your own boss who's dictating his career alone. It's just called Haymon/PBC not Top Rank, GBP or Matchroom.
It's not like Mikey looked up Haymon as a free agent with the idea of getting a Spence fight on PPV out of the blue. It was the plan of others, they offered him and he took it. I don't say he had no other choice but at the end of the day he's getting fights cause PBC invests in him just like ESPN/TR invests in Loma and Bud or how DAZN/MAtchroom invests in Jacobs and so on... Isn't he with Schaefer anyway?
I fail to see the importance of having no promoter on paper when you are still really going by the plans and offerings of someone. Mayweather was the lone exception but he was also a promoter with actual fighters in his stable at that point and drew so much money that despite having a Sho contract and fighting only Sho fighters barring Pac in his last few years he could be still legitimately called "his own boss".
The only fighter in boxing who could probably just say "fukk it, I'm my own boss form today" is Canelo but he doesn't do so either cause it's more comfortable for him that other ppl handling the business while he fights.
Mikey Garcia: 'I Control My Career, Get Fights, Manage Myself'
By Lem Satterfield
Four-division champion Mikey Garcia's free agent status grants him latitude to work with powerful advisor Al Haymon, Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn of DAZN, networks Showtime and FOX and various promoters he said during a Wednesday interview with Tha Boxing Voice hosted by Nestor Gibbs.
"Everybody has a chance at a partnership with me because I am still a free agent. I don't have anything signed with anybody, I don't have any short term or long term [deals] with any promoter or any management company or anything like that. I have been working well with the PBC [Premier Boxing Champions] production...I was working well with Stephen Espinoza at Showtime. Now we're working with FOX," said Garcia.
"I'm open to work with anybody that presents a good offer and a good deal and a good partnership. I can work with anybody. I'm still closely in touch with Eddie Hearn, I've spoken to [Oscar De La Hoya’s] Golden Boy...I'm still open to discuss anything available and any possible options for me. if it makes sense for me and for my career, and it's in the same path that I wanna take my career in, then I can definitely work with anybody."

The 31-year-old Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) challenges IBF 147-pound champion Errol Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) on March 16 at The Dallas Cowboys’ Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Fox Pay Per View. Garcia’s making his 147-pound debut in pursuit of his fifth crown in as many divisions against the 28-year-old Spence (24-0, 21 KOs), a southpaw pursuing his third defense and 12th straight knockout victory.
Garcia spent 2 ½ years out of ring due to a legal battle with former promoter Top Rank, returning with a fifth-round TKO of Elio Rojas in July 2016 followed by a 135-pound title-winning third-round knockout of DeJan Zlaticanin in January 2017.
Since his return, Garcia’s fights have been televised through Haymon Boxing's Premier Boxing Champions, which has three- and four-year deals with the Showtime and FOX networks. Garcia fought Rojas and Zlaticanin on Showtime.
“My experiences with Top Rank as a developing fighter were always great. They always know how to develop a fighter. They know how to take a fighter’s career and develop it at a pace to secure a title fight, move them up the ranks, that kind of stuff. Toward the end, we had a falling out due to the business of the sport. It was like a marriage that doesn’t work out. You break up. You divorce. I aligned myself and started working with relationships and people that offered their services and their help” said Garcia.
“Like Al Haymon, Richard [Schaefer of Ring Star Sports,] [Lou] DiBella, Stephen [Espinoza] I started working with these other individuals, but I controlled my career the way I wanted it. I’m in control. I can get the fights that I want, I can push for whatever I want, and manage myself in a way that I feel is best for me, not for anybody else, not for any other secret agenda, not for any other company or network or whatever. I’m doing what needs to be done for me, for my future, for my career, and for my legacy.”

He's been out for 2 years dealing with injuries, let's see how he looks before we just throw him in there with that sharks again, I think he's earned that rightThurman: In 2019 I Get-Back - Spence, Crawford Fights in 2020
Thurman: In 2019 I Get-Back - Spence, Crawford Fights in 2020
Guess it's to be expected.
I think we'll see him fight Porter at the end of the year, and if he's healthy and the One Time of old, he'll beat Porter and regain his belt. We'll get the unification fight with Spence next year, it's only a must have fight right now to Spence stans/dikkriders

i want the welters to actually do something..esp the champs...theres too many prime nikkas there for them to not be fighting and deteriorating each other to improve their legacies

I want a unification fight too, but I want both fighters who are the top guys in the division to be at their best when fighting. Thurman is not. He'd be stupid to go up against Spence or Crawford now.
Spence stans don't care about that, they just want Thurman is face Spence regardless so that they could beat him and champion him. They didn't give a fukk about Spence until Floyd propped him up and said Thurman needs to fight him. They're Floyd stans who stan Spence by proxy. fukk that shyt...

Does anyone remember Brandon Gonzalez? James DeGale stopped him in 2014 and that was his last fight, not sure why he retired.
