Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares.

[Spicoli]

So Mikey gets the 1 fight only deal and an even split and still turns the fight down this morning . Says he has another offer, oh do tell us champ?

Haymon must be paying him a huge sum to face Easter. I'd still be happy with that fight and it leaves the door open for Linares after that. Mikey becoming a bit of a diva tho. Sad cause he's one of my favorites.

So Easter for sure then and straight unification? All for champs fighting champs and Easter easier made 'in house' and can fight a bit. Just would love long time top flight guy like Linares to get the opportunity and agree, his heads getting a little big for me.

Feel for Linares, with Flanagan moving up there's no unification for him at this stage. Do you think they could put together a Campbell rematch while waiting on Garcia?

If I'm honest it just feels like a step sideways going into immediate rematch. Campbell did himself proud, good fight but like to see him continue growing then come back. Then again with familiarity and Campbell fan base that very well can come off. I just really wonder if GBP would make same concessions after being burned a bit as well as Garcia people sitting down again. Also is Garcia really dedicated to staying 135 for 2,3 fights? I see Beltran has a date set for Flanagans vacant trinket. He and Linares would be fun.

Yea I was just thinking that there's not a lot out there for Linares next. Beltran will be fighting for a vacant title so won't be ready until mid year. I think Linares makes good money in the UK and has built a nice following and run over there. The Campbell fight could make the most sense.

Yeh it's there to be done again, just rough that a fighter of his caliber apparently has so few options. I think he could go out and spark Campbell midway and still he'd get flack for it and he was more than willing to climb in with a newly anointed Garcia and assumed greatness.
