Lou DiBella on Sergio vs Golovkin: 'A fight that economically makes no sense'

Originally posted by gmc_rfc_06 View PostMurray fought to a draw in a world title fight in Germany with Sturm and more importantly, is actually a known name in the UK.

Martinez has fought tough opponents for not great pay for years, he's now in a position to look for fights that make more money. Like it or not, Murray going to Argentina will probably make him more than GGG.
And so what if Murray fought to a draw with Sturm? What does that mean? Golovkin has actually had American exposure with an impressive knockout win on HBO. I don't see how Murray makes him more money.

After his promoter said this about GGG?
Who would give a flying ****, and why are you even asking?" DiBella said. "Who knows Gennady Golovkin other than you, me and a few other people? How many people would he bring to the table? How much money would he generate? He is the last guy ... He is a very good fighter, but it's a fight that economically makes no sense."
You can literally say the SAME exact thing about Murray. Can you not?
And please take the Floyd talk to the countless other threads about the guy lets keep this Floyd free. I know for some posters its hard but try.

If GGG made Martinez good money at this point, the fight would be made.

But when you turn around and fight Martin Murray people are going to call BS.
