There's a video out I think it was on The Jay-Z life and times channel. They had this feature on GGG. They went to Big Bear to interview him and Abel Sanchez, and Sanchez said to the interviewer that the first time he met GGG he went up to him and showed him a tape of Julio Cesar Chavez and told him he's going to fight like him. He basically said that he wanted GGG to be more fan friendly for the American audience and less like the Klitschko's.
