I know people say I could be the next big pay-per-view star. They say that about a lot of fighters. To reach that, it takes a lot. Not just fighting skills, but marketing, good promotion.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I've been able to not only be a fighter, but a thinking fighter, where I can use my insight into the business and politics of the sport to make my decisions.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
Boxing is for the poor man. A lot of people don't know what's going on, but I've been able to see it first-hand, and if I can speak out on the behalf of fighters going through problems, I will, because... it's important to create awareness. Everyone should speak up. Because if people are aware, maybe there can be change.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
It's your career. Why should you let someone else be in control of what you do? You're the one taking all the risk. The promoter is not the one getting in the ring, the manager is not the one getting in the ring, the trainer doesn't even get in the ring.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
As the fighter, you're the one getting in the ring, you're the one risking injuries, you're the one risking your life - not only on the day of the fight, but in training camp. You're getting punched, you're training, you're sparring. You have to make sure that it's worth the risk - the compensation, the terms, the fights that you want.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
It's not OK for somebody to push a fighter into a corner and strong-arm him to accept whatever the promoter wants.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I traditionally like to be patient, calm and look for openings - try to box for a few rounds until I figure out what the best thing in the ring will be for me.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
My performances are getting people's attention, that's what I'm looking for.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I feel that's what a real champion needs to be doing, dare to take on the best fights possible.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I thought I fought a really good Orlando Salido. I never let him get into his fight. I knew what I needed to do against him and I think that was the difference. I was able to control the fight.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
No other fighter's doing what I'm doing, no other fighter is daring to do what I'm doing.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I'm about big challenges, big obstacles, and just to show everybody that I'm the best.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
My dad had his dream of being a champion boxing trainer. He accomplished that.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I've always said I have very good timing. It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I'm a step ahead.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
It would be a great thing for my legacy to get in the ring with an all-time great.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I think I showed I'm resilient, I'm strong, I can go the distance against a bigger man and still box effectively.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I don't have a number set that I'm chasing, but I do believe I'll be a champion at 140, and again at 147.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I've been on cruise control with my opponents, even though I fought some very good champions, undefeated champions.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
Robert Easter Jr. is a tough fighter who I have to take very seriously and I do, and that's why we did a nine-week training camp and got the great sparring, got the right training, the right diet, everything.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
If I want to pad the record, just fight pretenders, get a quick paycheck and keep moving on and racking up wins, that's not something I want to be known for.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I made it a goal of mine to fight the biggest challenges, so that people can appreciate who I am as a fighter.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I feel that my body is not made to be a natural welterweight. But my abilities and boxing skills will allow me to be successful even at 147.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I'm always the favorite heading into fights. My accomplishments don't get credit because I'm supposed to win.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I don't feel the need to do anything other than what I've been doing, beating my opponents, getting some knockouts, keeping the fans coming. I don't need to do anything other than that.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I think Adrien Broner was at his best. If he wasn't, I would have knocked him out. He was very motivated, he changed camps and made weight with no issues.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I'm here to take control of my career and take it to where I believe it should be.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I fight for my name. For my dad's last name to be recognized in the history books of boxing.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
When I walk into the arena, I get excited and emotional, when I see the fans rise and start cheering. But then I get into the ring and it's all business for me.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I'm here to let everyone know I'm taking bigger fights and I'm not afraid on taking the bigger challenges.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I want to get bigger and better fights, where people can recognize me as one of the better fighters in the world.
Quote by -Mikey Garcia
I could easily be defending my title against top contenders in the Top 10, but if they haven't been champions or their record's not perfect, it doesn't really excite me. It doesn't motivate me. But that's why I'm facing guys like Dejan Zlaticanin, Sergey Lipinets, undefeated champions.
