The canelo was the lineal middleweight champion. But when GGG ordered him to give him the belt, canelo gave up the middleweight title and retreated to 154.
Chasing Cotto, not the belt.
Im a GGG fan but you guys are worst than *******s and *****s.
Why the hell would you not do the fight in September when you stand to make way more money on mexican independence day.
Didn't Ward-Kovalev get made in a similar way?
The truth is GGG stans know that Canelo is getting better, and GGG is getting worse. Canelo has never fought at 160 yet yall expect 45% of the money, at 160, having never fought there before.

Didn't Ward-Kovalev get made in a similar way? Didn't they make the fight in advance, after having 2 fights.
The truth is GGG stans know that Canelo is getting better, and GGG is getting worse. Canelo has never fought at 160, yet yall expect him to immediately fight GGG at 160 without any prior experience at 160. Yall expect 45% of the money when GGG's highest PPV is around 90-150k buys. An offer of 10 mil is crazy compared to what Canelo made against Cotto and Mayweather.
The fight is gonna happen. relax. Sept 2017
So the Guzzling Gonad Groupies went from "There was never an offer, Oscar is lying!!" to "they're making him wait two months!!" Canelo's ducking!!!
lmao
The constant crying and whining will never stop.
Canelo said he was ready to go, he said he wasn't scared of anyone etc...and now he's making him wait until September/November 2017. In what world is that not ducking? If you're going to invite him up to the ring and run your mouth back it up.
@Canelo told close friends his life is more important than what the fans think. Expressed depression with pressure of fans but health first.— 24/7 Boxing (@247boxingnews) September 20, 2016

I'm not going to lie that is the first time I heard that and it made me laugh pretty hard.
I believe Oscar said the offer was for September so either Max is misinformed, misspoke, or ODH is lying.
SOURCES confirm, Oscar told GB team: "The fight is not happening". Consensus is they don't feel Canelo can beat Golovkin.— 24/7 Boxing (@247boxingnews) September 20, 2016
Oscar is stalling big time. When November 2017 is here he may still be stalling. If his offer was a good one he would give all the details of the offer. I heard Khan was paid about 14 million to fight Canelo because they knew Canelo would win. Eight figures no doubt means $10,000,000 and that's much less than Khan got. It's a sucho offer and it's for 14 months off so Oscar has lots of time to back out of it. I think Canelo is letting Oscar call the shots but if it were up to him he would fight GGG or would already have fought him. Oscar promoted him from the beginning so he is grateful and will go along with what Oscar wants.
Fat Dan said the same thing after the fight, offer was for September 2017. Stall long enough for him to get older at 35 or pray he loses to Jacobs or any other fighter.
But if contract signed then what would it matter if he loses?
Also hes been old for a minute and never seemed to bother anyone. Why now? I don't see decline and he hasn't been in any wars.

we're talking about the WBC mandatory for the Interim. Forget names. "Winner of Cotto vs Alvarez" fights the Interim. Surely you know Alvarez would know that coming in. Alvarez makes 1.3 million PPV from 2015-2016 pre Smith.
GBP doesn't care about K2's benefit off their star. The same reason why K2 hasn't fought elite champs aside from Ouma is any different as to why GBP gets to choose their profits?
As industry said, if nobody "Wants" to fight Golovkin, then you take risks to find them going North.
get on the bandwagon if you want the truth. feels good
Yeah he knew that coming in that he would have to fight GGG and he still vacated.
Who is elite that they didn't go after? Martinez? Quillin? Chavez jr.? They went after everybody and none wanted it. The only one that called was Ward and he said imma need a couple fights to tune up, and btw i have no drawing power unless we in Oakland and btw i got no belts so this fight is for nothing. AND BTW I HAVEN'T FOUGHT AT 168 in 3 FUCKING YEARS.
NO ONE AT 168 or 175 IS A PPV FIGHTER. There's no one there of any value. Even fights like DeGale and Dirrell won't do nothing on PPV cause they have no draw on tv.
Wtf? Assuming they actually sent the offer prior to Saturday night that meant 1. A fight in December 2. A fight in May 17. 3. A fight in September 17. 4. GGG
Lol these fking clowns....
This is exactly why boxing is a second rate sport and falling drastically behind the UFC....fking clowns wanna take 3 more money grubbing fights before they make the fight everyone wants to see.... They won't get $1 out of my pocket that's for sure....
Doesn't make sense
NOv is like 2 1/2 minths from Canelos cherished Sept date not enough time for him to get ready even more reason to believe if there was a offer it wasn't serious
On a side note can anyone think of a more pathetic display of a baton being passed then what GB has done with May/Sept PPV
Seriously he couldn't beat the man so he waited until he retired to get those dates then once he has them they give the fans Khan & Smith.
Has this ever happened before? a fight being offered for over a year away with other fights happening in-between?
I mean we're talking 2 or 3 fights in between, especially for Golovkin and probably 2 for Canelo.
I think i've heard of ones where fighters have an upcoming fight that is basically a tune up and the deal is basically done for after that but 2 or 3 fights time is very strange.
My general feeling is Golden Boy are trying to put it off as long as possible and hoping/knowing a lot changes in boxing in over a year and we might get some reason why the fight no longer takes place. But by offering a fight, they are saving face a little bit making it look like they want it.
tommy morrison vs lennox lewis?
When a council ORDERS a mandatory, particularly before Alvarez vs Cotto, it does seem practical for the Interim champ to just say "let's fight." Isn't that the premise for a boxer having earned the spot for a title shot?
Luis Collazo called out Mayweather at the Barclay's after KO'ng Victor Ortiz. Yeah it seems so odd Mayweather didn't take it seriously..
I don't understand what the fuck you just said but
Canelo was a optional fight Cotto took instead of the mandatory that was GGG at the time. He paid GGG 800k for step aside. Canelo was no mandatory.
