K2 flopped negotiations for GGG-Quillin Bout

If GGG has a contract for broadcast on North American soil why would they go to the purse bid? And give all that money to Showtime (which apparently has lost money on TBE)? Quillin isn't as popular as GGG. Like Miguel Cotto, Golovkin is class A in this fight.

They could stage the fight outside Continental USA That literally changes nothing, they don't own his rights to fight in or out of the country they own all television rights in the country. No matter where the fight takes place, it can not be shown on any other television channel other then HBO. That's why his Adama fight was broadcasted in like 300 countries but not the US. Once HBO said they weren't going to broadcast it, no one else had the opportuinty to. HBO is the only channel that can show his fights in the US no matter where the fight takes place.

HBO does not have a contract with GGG, just as they do not have a contract with Pacquaio. If HBO had a contract with Pacquaio, he would not have been allowed to fight Mosley on Showtime (remember that fight?). GGG is free to fight on either HBO or Showtime. He chose to fight on HBO. That is why Schafer suggested a bidding contest. GGG's team turned it down likely because they were concerned that Showtime would outbid HBO. GGG does have an exclusive contract with HBO, just like Sergio Martinez. Schaefer countered with Showtime knowing damn well HBO wasn't going to let this happen. What do you expect K2 to do? Ask HBO to break the contract so it can bidding war where they will most likely need to spend more money? HBO would never allow that. It's stupid and Schaefer knows this Here's a couple sources proving HBO has exclusive rights in North America not just the USA. http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/278989.html http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/tag/_/name/gennady-golovkin

Pac only fights on ppv, with guarantees made by Arum via ppv projections, not by Hbo. Ggg purse is covered by Hbo.

Interesting to see will Golovkin ever get paid $1M/fight on HBO.

I heard that HBO does have an exclusive contract with Golovkin. That's why there was no US TV for the Adama fight.

They could stage the fight outside Continental USA But then the price wouldn't be right.

How about the simple FACT that Golovkin's fights can only be shown in the States on HBO. I seriously can't see how is dude can't understand this... a malnourished North Korean fetus could probably understand it betterThey could stage the fight outside Continental USA

Article clearly says they could bid on what channel airs it and GG just didn't want to risk going to showtime. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android There was no bid because GGG is under contract with HBO. I know you are somehow getting at him being scared to fight or ducking a Quillen fight which is laughable. :lame:

I can feel the HBO contract argument and that was always a big hurdle to overcome because HBO won't deal with GBP. GBP might be willing to sacrifice Quillin as an olive branch but that requires some real movement from HBO which is not really clarified at all and probably did not happen. What I don't get is why GBP is only to blame for this, as HBO is a larger part although they are right for wanting the guy they contracted on their air.

Golovkin has a contract with HBO and cannot fight on SHO. /// End of pointless thread. it said they could have bid on who would show the fight and gg wanted none of that // Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Golovkin is hiding behind HBO's skirts now.

;14570591']Stop repeating yourself I know exactly what you mean, but Im still skeptical about the power they can enforce to stop such a bout happening on showtime if K2 agreed on the bid. So why are you playing full retard. HBO has an exclusive North American TV contract with Golovkin, so he cant fight on any other network. If there is a purse bid, HBO would have to allow it (why would they), or the fighter gets stripped of the title. Another option would be to hold the fight in a different countries where HBO's contract doesnt extend to. How can they enforce it? Its called a lawsuit
