    Seen.

    But didn't Mikey walk away from Linares due to a business decision? We all thought it was going to be Easter, but it turned out to be Lipinets. Dude can't be getting more money for Lipinets than he would have for Linares and Easter. And he walked away from Cotto for a massive pay day... This dude!!!

    That's so stupid man.. He needs to start taking advantage of those offers man.. He aint getting any younger either.. Hes already 30 and whats his biggest win in reality? Martinez? Salido? Broner? Its about damn time to get a big fight.

    I think we've all known Mikey is a diva for a while now.

    I've gone to bat for Mikey a lot. I'm still a fan, but I'm concerned he's spending a little too much time taking the Winky Wright School of Boxing Business online courses.

    Maybe he can't make 135 healthily anymore but doesn't want to come out and say it...who knows at this point.

    But Robert said Mikey would return to 135 after the Lipinets fight, so it's not about the weight.

    In Garcia's defense, there is no way the Easter fight generates any reasonable gate. Guy is from Toledo, and is basically unknown 2 hours away in Columbus, much less nationwide.

    Looks like he will become the 3rd of my favorite fighters turning into a diva.
    Cotto > turned into a diva
    Canelo > turned into a diva
    Mikey > seems to be turning into a diva
    :(

    If Mikey demolishes Lipiniets(which i believe he will do), then i highly doubt Mikey will be moving back down in weight. 140 is dead and for a P4P level fighter, it will be easy pickings.
