The Kazakh head of tourism is being quoted as saying the fight is on for July 17. This makes sense with Loeffler saying they are looking at best time for kazakstan and uk, obviously they couldn't make June 10 work.
Assuming this is true, Golovkin had to choose between unifying and waiting on Canelo, and clearly choose not to wait, which is smart after all the time wasted chasing martinez-cotto-canelo in the past.
Loeffler may be banking on Mayweather McGregor landing in September, as Mayweather likes to fight on Mexican holidays. Gbp would be a fool not to move off of September, as dumb as may-mc is, it will do more than Canelo. If Canelo has to fight October or November, Golovkin could be ready for that date. We should know more when Mayweather officially announces his fight.
It is funny how some are spinning it here like they work for GBP.
Every big fight that had to get made got made but all these excuses from the Canelo camp are weak.
Triple G is the man at 160 and Canelo is dancing his weight around him which is more embarrassing. It is not like Canelo can't beat G he has a good chance but his handlers are weary of his chances
Thats pretty funny.
Whats even funnier is that we are 9 pages into the thread before anyone even looked at a calendar........haha
I think OP just was waiting to add a comment called April Fools & close the thread.. Boy.. bigdunny1 sure fell hard for it.. :lol1:
Lol, July 17th is a Monday. This dude just pluck a date out of thin air?
Thats pretty funny.

:lol1: :lol1: me too.
I won't buy that crap but I will go to a bar to watch.
Oh yeah, I'll go up to the sports bar and pay $10 to see it. "We'll, they're showing it anyway, so it's not like my money is going straight to them..." will be my excuse
I don't know what the phuk goes on in that shyt country but Loeffler out his own mouth said there is some specific event on that June date that they had to meet that was the excuse just 2 weeks ago why they needed a fast turn around and couldn't fight any other date. If the June date is no different then July 17 that's on loeffler. But loeffler and GGG camp said day 1 this fight would NOT impact him being able to fight in sept. Is that true now yes or no?
And Oscar said a June date for GGG would kill GGG/Canelo in Sept, so whether it's June or July really doesn't matter.
Congratulations to Oscar .. he got Canelo off the hook again.
Its not some Astana organization, but rather the Administration of the City of the Astana or the Government of Astana if you wish. And the head of tourism whose words about 17th of July were refuted is a head of the division of the tourism within the Government of Astana. Capish? By the way this head of tourism was penalized for such premature statement.
Awesome thanks for the information.
Eubank Sr did a great job of pretending to fuck up his son's fight with GGG so Hearn could bring Brook in instead. .. he's still pretending it was his fault even now!

Eubank Sr still "In character"...hell of an actor. And it was great how the Eubanks agreed to move up in weight so it won't look like lil g is still ducking him. So glad to have and co-conspirators like that.
its no surprise with BS and cover up excuses coming from k2
this is the same outfit that tried to tell everyone that kell brook was a last second replacement. normally promoters have a plan B and when they cant get pen to paper by a certain time they move on. loeffler has mentioned this before. yet somehow they stood there waiting till the "last minute" while eubank hadn't signed anything? lol
I'm so glad they got Hearn, Eubank, and Brook to play along with their little scheme. It was a grand conspiracy on behalf of all of them to get GGG on with Brook, while making Eubank Jr the scapegoat

i agree Saunders is a paper champ keeping a belt hostage. similar to Stevenson. but what can you do? you have to drag fckers like that in the ring kicking and screaming and take their belt. ggg is in absolutely no danger against saunders which shows how full of sht oscar is saying he doesn't want ggg to get hurt or lose. canelo has a better chance suffering injury against chavez with that caveman chin of his. if he was truly concerned about injuries why not cancel the chavez fight and go straight into a promotion with ggg?
besides fighters can also get hurt or injured in training camp. so what is oscar gonna say ggg is not allowed to spar while preparing for canelo?
ggg has been crying about "all the belts" so let him get that sht out the way.
Canelo fighting Chavez isn't the problem it's who he fights next and if GGG takes another fight that takes him off the table for any fights in Sept then who is ducking who? It's that simple. I have no problem with GGG fighting paper champ Saunders if that's a backup plan that doesn't interfere with Canelo fight that the world wants to see. If you can move the date from june to july then no problem moving the date from july to aug. Plenty of time to try and wrap up a deal after chavez for Sept. If it falls apart you can fight Saunders. The narrative 2 weeks ago was this was just a in between fight with plenty of time to still fight Canelo in sept. Funny how now once again GGG pulling the bait and switch and fangirls are circling the wagon and switching up and Saunders is now a bigger priority then a fight for lineal status against the biggest cash cow in the sport a fight that could spring board GGG into a cross over superstar. But now Saunders is more important let's make that fight and kill a sept fight. Makes perfect sense but funny many of you guys weren't saying that 2 weeks ago when Loeffler was lying about this fight NOT interfering with a Sept Canelo fight.
Well see my other post, but some ASTANA organization came out to refute the tourism head. Lol.
Its not some Astana organization, but rather the Administration of the City of the Astana or the Government of Astana if you wish. And the head of tourism whose words about 17th of July were refuted is a head of the division of the tourism within the Government of Astana. Capish? By the way this head of tourism was penalized for such premature statement.
So then you admit Loeffler lied because that's not what he said he said we are taking this fight BECAUSE it doesn't interfere with a Canelo fight in Sept. His own words. If he signs in July before Chavez fight then Loeffler is full of shyt and so are his groupie fans like yourself who argued this fight wouldn't prevent Canelo in Sept just...2 weeks ago. But now that GGG is refusing to even entertain a Sept fight it's well the fight was never going to happen anyway? LMAO
Or course there is a risk waiting 1 month and seeing the results of Canelo/Chavez. That's always the case in boxing. Saunders had an agreement with GGG long before Jacobs fight with the understanding once the fight is over we sign the contracts. How is that playing out for Saunders now that GGG is the one bullshyting and putting them in limbo waiting? So it's ok and part of the business when GGG does it because GGG doesn't have to wait for Canelo to wrap up things with Chavez first? SMH
I dont concede that point because there is no official confirmation that #1 the Saunders fight is made, and #2 that it got moved from June to July.
If the fight is in June, there is NO CONFLICT with the canelo fight, regardless of whatever nonsense Oscar babbles on about. If the Saunders date got bumped to July for whatever reason, then GGG / K2 have to choose between the "done deal" fight with Saunders, or the "maybe, possibly, depending on what happens in May" possible fight with Canelo.
I know which one I would choose if I were him.
He wouldn't be undisputed because Canelo is still lineal champ and many feel he lost to Jacobs. But even Loeffler said fighting Canelo in sept is their priority and the biggest fight for them. Loeffler said this is fight that would NOT interfere with Canelo in sept. Now with this joke fight that nobody wants (everyone wants either canelo or Jacobs rematch not paper champ Saunders) is taking priority OVER canelo. If the fight really is in July they are choosing to take this fight INSTEAD of canelo completely taking themselves out of consideration for Canelo's next opponent.
Schaefer said it best this is BS and if you want to just fight saunders then say that don't try and take another fight before hand and blame it on Golden Boy. GGG turning down offers, pricing themselves out of fights and prioritizing bum fights in kaza phuk stan over Canelo. that's their prerogative just don't scream you being ducked.
