“Rubio is a strong option for Gennady to fight,” Loeffler said.
Another possible opponent is Bryan Vera, who fought Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. twice at middleweight, as long as Vera comes through his Big Knockout Boxing fight against Gabriel Rosado on Saturday night.
• The junior middleweight non-title fight between former titlist Canelo Alvarez and reigning titleholder Erislandy Lara on July 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated about 300,000 buys on Showtime PPV, according to industry sources. Showtime and Golden Boy Promotions have declined to release the total, but at 300,000 buys -- perhaps slightly more -- the fight grossed around $17 million in U.S. television revenue (although roughly half of that figure goes to the cable and satellite providers). Alvarez won a split decision.
What if Rosado wins, should he get a GGG rematch? On a side note, BKB is a f*cking joke, is anyone actually planning on buying that sh*t?
I thought about, I don't think I'll buy it though
It's a shame GGG refuses to move up to 168 where there are so many intriguing options. I understand his fans want to see him get big money fights vs. smaller fighters moving up like Cotto and Canelo, but those fights do not interest me as they would be one-sided beat downs like he's had his entire career.
From what I hear triple g is really a 154lber but with that power he might as well move up.
Martinez fight has lost all luster, and Cotto and Canelo after doing 300k plus by themselves will combine to do at least 600k plus.
GGG needs some better options then Rubio.
Don't know who I prefer between Rubio and Vera. Both have great chins. Decent power. Rubio might little harder. Vera fought Chavez better than Rubio twice. So I'm torn.
