Why doesn't GGG want to fight his mandatory, derevyanchenko?????

Derevy just fought last month. Not only that, but he doesn't have to fight GGG on short notice, because long as Derevy holds the #1 spot on the IBF, he's almost guaranteed a title shot, unless GGG wants to be stripped. Besides, fighting GGG on short notice would be a pretty big risk, for a guy with 12 fights, and let's not act like he's another Loma or anything. Derevyanchenko has said he'll take the fight at short notice and, with having fought recently, should be in shape. So that doesn't address why Golovkin's team don't seem to want this fight.

I wish this was the fight that would get made for the 5th. Saunders, Charlo, Jacobs all unrealistic unfortunately. Sullivan is mismatch. Andrade is interesting but what are the chances of getting a deal done with HIM on such short notice? Derevyanchenko is a mandatory and will probably give us the best action fight of all the possibilities. His team said they would be interested in being the replacement. Might as well get the mandatory out of the way...cmon Loeffler, make this fight happen Yes, all good points and the reality is that noone Golovkin can get for 5th May is going to make for PPV bout, so the question remains . . . . . why not Derevyanchenko?! Golovkin's team have been quiet on this.

a better fight no doubt, that would result in a few hundred more buys than Spike. In a ppv fight that will almost certainly lose money, how much more do you think Andrade will want to be paid? being that it's short notice. he can't expect to much money. 300k should get the job done andrade needs to take any deal, fight, win and the world is his

Because he doesn’t want an opponent that could possibly beat him and destroy the Camelo rematch, where the money is.

andrade is the way to go if they wanna stay ppv. I'll pay 70 for that. but not spike a better fight no doubt, that would result in a few hundred more buys than Spike. In a ppv fight that will almost certainly lose money, how much more do you think Andrade will want to be paid?

andrade is the way to go if they wanna stay ppv. I'll pay 70 for that. but not spike Yea I would to...not sure how many casuals even know who Andrade is tho. Pickings are slim. They should just put it on regular hbo...ppv is gonna almost certainly flop.

Who knows who Spikey is in the US or anywhere, except maybe for the hardcores in the UK? Who knows the Mexican kid? Who knew Wade or Proksa? Some GGG fans specialize in excuse-making. Guess you missed the rest of my post, so let me reiterate that I think the fight should happen (but don't think it will for the reason I stated). No true fight fan wants to see GGG demolish some bum on cinco after already being robbed of the rematch due to dumbass Canelo.

still a rarity. if they wanna save the ppv, they should find a top opponent, which is hard to do on short notice. especially one that doesn't put the canelo payday at risk. andrade is the way to go if they wanna stay ppv. I'll pay 70 for that. but not spike

Martinez vs Williams 1- Sergio stepped in on 3 weeks notice Lewis vs klitschko- vitali stepped in on 3 weeks notice both classics. still a rarity. if they wanna save the ppv, they should find a top opponent, which is hard to do on short notice. especially one that doesn't put the canelo payday at risk.

GGG is 36 at this point every fight will be to maximize income

Lmfao !!!!!!!!@@

Because GGG is the A-side cash cow number one ticket seller right now in the sport in the states. He fights who the hell he wants to fight. Having said that, I would like ggg to fight him.

No one is saying he is, we just want GGG to fight the best possible opponent for may 5th, whether that be andrade or this guy. Andrade looks highly unlikely though Why don't you "GGG fans" want the same?????? WHICH GGG fan says he doesnt want that fight???? I said I wanted Charlo or Saunders, but the kids are ducking and making excuses! Bring on the next best then until Charlo/Jacobs/Saunders grow some balls.

What makes derevyanchenko the bogeyman? Who's he actually beat? No one is saying he is, we just want GGG to fight the best possible opponent for may 5th, whether that be andrade or this guy. Andrade looks highly unlikely though Why don't you "GGG fans" want the same??????

Why are you kids all speculating when nothing has even been announced? There is a reason you are forum trolls for life and not promoters. Know your place kiddos.

Crawford and Loma don't belong on your list with those other goons. Those 2 can actually win via boxing and don't need to rely on cherrypicking or PED's for knockouts. Rest of your list...yawn List of my current favorites...it’s not my p4p

He said he wanted to fight GGG on may 5th :lol1: So did andrade but they would rather face some 21 year old mexican who hasn't even fought at 160 :rofl: Ok saying he wants to fight is one thing. Send Golovkin a reasonable offer stating the purse split, ring size etc. Etc. Andrade has spent more time calling out other fighters than actually fighting.

Because no one knows who he is, most likely. Match-up would be awesome though. Both guys come to fight. Who knows who Spikey is in the US or anywhere, except maybe for the hardcores in the UK? Who knows the Mexican kid? Who knew Wade or Proksa? Some GGG fans specialize in excuse-making.

Because Derevyanchenko fought on March 3rd, and will probably want a full 10-12 week camp if he was to face GGG, who was intensely training for the Canelo rematch, so will be in top shape come May 5th... Why don't you make topics about the other fighters ducking GGG. We hear GGG ducked this and that guy, but did he actually duck? Or did they duck when offered the fight for real... The guy says he's ready and isn't using any of those excuses. Why are you speaking for him? Tell us the real reason.
