Re: Mikey Garcia inactive for over 2 years.
As stated above, he had contract disputes with top rank. He wanted to be free and clear. Im not sure how the contract is structured. (whether is based solely on fights or if there is a time/inactivity escape clause.) He mentioned he was willing to fight crawford and beat him (his words) if it freed him of the top rank contract. I think hes back in the gym and plans were to be back from april to the summer at welter. The plans could have changed though I read this maybe about a month to month and half ago maybe.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
