GGG News: DAZN offer $45 million for two fights, PBC offers PPV fight with Jermall

So it's all about money, money, money, money... GGG has become a greedy clown. Why can't they be Khan even just for one fight? Amir picked Crawford for less money. Can't GGG pick Jermall Charlo even if the offer is less?

Damn, he's getting some great money here. DAZN would get (probably) that trilogy fight with Canelo but Charlo fight would be interesting as well, hopefully we get that at some point as well

GGG is still one of the biggest stars in the sport,numbers dont lie (thats what the haters do), lets see what he does, but damn it will be tough at his advanced age to keep up, but we will be riding with GGG until the end.

Honestly and I'm not being funny but I think both of those offers are overpaying for a guy who is clearly on the slide. Same here. GGG is alright in my book but this is seriously overpaying him. I'm actually worried as DAZN might spend too much then realize they've made a mistake investing soo much cash into our guys and boxing in general. GGG at this point is worth 10 to 15 million a fight, TOPS.

Golovkin is a good fighter. Just like Crawford so late in age moving to 147 versus other Welters that were there before, Golovkin will do better at 168 fully recuperated. The layoff that Golovkin has taken will be to his full advantage. The problem is that many think Golovkin needed to fight a certain way, as they say Mexican Style, which is utter garbage. Golovkin can fight any way he pleases to win. Golovkin has good ring IQ on the backfoot. He could implement that if in danger at 168. However, a 168 Golovkin will look more beast mode and ripped, and the power will be there. No one should take Golovkin litely on his return. Golovkin isn't the only fighter who has gone past 37 years of age. This whole idea of him going downhill is ridiculous. No one is saying Golovkin is washed up or isn't still a top level fighter. He is, but he's not going to all of a sudden get better at the age of 37. If he has been struggling weight then maybe 168 is the exact move he needs to make.

Showtime Sports is in momentum with PPV. PPV is also like gambling. If there's any theory that Golovkin vs Charlo does better numbers than Mikey vs Spence, then this is why Showtime Sports is willing to invest in Golovkin's name. When we hear Al Bernstein and Mauro Ranallo say Golovkin's name it brings something new to the table, same way Ranallo nicely brings Pac back to life. Even more so, depending on the odds, if many feel that Charlo could pull an upset fighting GGG at 160, then it is the reason why PBC wants Golovkin. Or like I said, GGG vs Charlo, Plant, or Benavidez at 168 are all high profile fights with a possibility of PPV. We won't know real details yet. Until GGG's contracts are disclosed then we'll know the strategy established. I don't just assume Gennady is all about the money. I think circumstances have changed with his management. Gennady might even have a new character. For instance, will Gennady ever bring up Mexican Style again? I think that marketing has sailed away, which means, Golovkin would be acknowledging that it was wrong to begin with, and that means the REAL Golovkin might be even better to come. Come on man, you're looking at this way too deep. Of course SHO or whoever will be interested in Golovkin. Still one of the biggest names stateside. And yes, building Charlo off GGG is one reason PBC would be after him. That also has been mentioned already. Bring his name back to life? Are you serious right now? Lol. Yes, Benavidez and Plant are options if GGG wants to go up to 168. REAL Golovkin comes out at the age of 37? Better than ever eh? Cool story.

Not too sure. You must wonder what happened with Golovkin's psychology after the Canelo series under Loeffler, and why there's news regarding GGG and his former promoter. So ask yourself, GGG has already made GREAT money, why would he bother with Canelo again given their narratives from Clen or score cards? I will give Gennady the benefit of doubt that under PBC, like Pac, better things are to come, and as I mentioned, I honestly feel GGG beats Plant and Benavidez. Therefore, if GGG's mind is straight, he will continue with the idea of being a 2 Division Champ and forget about Canelo Alvarez. There's more glory for Golovkin being a 2 Division Champ with limited fights with PBC. Think about it, if GGG takes the belt from Plant, and by this time didn't renew with PBC, then there's a door open for continued 168 fights at DAZN?! GGG has great options. We should let go of the Canelo fight for the time being. If they meet again, it can be at 168 and with new dynamics there too, meaning GGG will be stronger at 168. And lastly, if GGG goes to DAZN, he will still be quickly B side against Canelo. At least with GGG under PBC, he will have better leverage to demand different circumstances when DAZN offers something new. So again, GGG has great options. GGG fights for money just like anyone else. I mean dude is going to get 8 figures for a damn tune up level of fight. Yes, if he wants to move up to 168 then PBC has two good options for him. DAZN has a really good option in Smith at 168 as well. But like I said, if he wants that Canelo trilogy and the biggest pay day, he goes to DAZN. If he doesn't care too much about the Canelo fight? Then this becomes more of a discussion.

He asked who does GGG fight if he signs with the PBC. OK there aint **** other than Charlo at 160, that commands that kind of figure. I think its both Charlo's

I feel many are too focused with Golovkin at 160. I would imagine PBC would create fights for Golovkin at 168 with Plant, Benavidez? One would imagine that the WBC would kindly work with Haymon for Benavidez' Diamond Belt status return and the opportunity for Golovkin to fight for it. With such a long layoff, and Gennady knowing Benavidez in sparring. I think Golovkin has easy opportunities for that fight and against Plant. So Golovkin can become a 2 division Champion under PBC which would drastically improve his legacy. There are also rumors of Charlo moving to 168 if he had problems making weight at 160. Lots of great fights for Golovkin at PBC. I mean no, it has been mentioned in this thread of all the possibilities for GGG. You could have 154 pounders coming up to MW or you can have GGG move up to 168. I already said if folks are going to mention Lemieux/Smith as possibilities, then Hurd/Plant/Benavidez need to be mentioned as well. Really comes down to how bad he wants Canelo. Because if he does, and it will be by far the biggest pay day, this isn't something you need to think hard about. Easy decision. If not? Then that's a different ball game.

thats a lot of money andrade was obviously told by hearn to call out ggg and now we see why

I think it could be Andrade. Hearn shot off to Puerto Rico a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold Golovkin shot up to no2 in their rankings in the latest updates, despite being unranked for months before. Last Warren interview he was asked about the WBO mandating Andrade vs Saunders, in the interview he Warren said he would prefer to have a fight inbetween. Same day as all this **** happens Martin Murray says hes coming out of retirement, which would be an obvious fight for Saunders to have, go look at his facebook page. So maybe Saunders gunna sit on his WBO mandatory for a shot at undisputed. But my preference has been the whole time Smith vs Golovkin He asked who does GGG fight if he signs with the PBC.

and if he loses to andrade does he still get that money? hmm I'm wondering the same thing. If the $45M is guaranteed, man, what a deal for the OG because a fight with Andrade is dangerous, IMO. Good for GGG getting paid.

Who would GGG fight in his first PBC fight before Jermall? No clue, but he would be getting 8 figures for it which is insane. And still something I don't understand why PBC would do. I mean eventually it leads to the Charlo fight. But even if Charlo wins, is he going to become a SUPERSTAR? Doubt it. I mean it certainly helps his "profile" per se, but they will be taking big losses with this signing. Would like to see GGG vs Korobov though. That would be fun. I think it could be Andrade.

GGG will sign with DAZN. Hopefully there will be sort of tournament in middleweight division. Canelo vs Jacobs, Andrade vs GGG. And final ... So excited!

Maybe on the slide but I have yet to see him lose. I think he won both canelo fights. Canelo was showier and flashier and had the hometown crowd reacting to every punch even if GGG blocked it. It looks more impressive to slip than block. That's just the way it is. Also, GGG doesn't get enough credit for his jab because like Foreman, like Hagler, his jab is a "power punch."

Who would GGG fight in his first PBC fight before Jermall?

My man, I feel like we go through this same debate every single week!!! Lol! I just think you are severely underrating Skipper here. Let's leave it at that. Skipper is a business man, not a boxing man. Hearn is also a business man, but he has been involved in boxing since he was a schoolboy. Hearn can talk to fighters and their teams about fights, not just money. He knows more about the sport than Skipper will ever know, and has built both business and personal relationships with other boxing people - fighters, managers, trainers, promoters, etc all over the world. And for sure, he wouldn't be where he is right now if he couldn't close deals without Skipper holding his hand.

It will definitely be Hearn, not Skipper, who negotiates and closes deals with fighters and other promoters, with Skipper setting the financial limits. You don't keep a dog and bark yourself! According to Hearn's account of how Canelo and GBP ended up with DAZN, Eddie called Skipper as soon as he heard about HBO crashing out and told him, "we have to get Canelo" Skipper agreed and told Hearn to go and get him. Hearn asked how much money was available and Skipper replied, "as much as it takes" The GBP/DAZN link followed on from that and was worked out by the top execs and lawyers of both outfits. Pure businesss tuff like that will be where Skipper does his thing. My man, I feel like we go through this same debate every single week!!! Lol!

I've been saying a long time that I think Hearn is DAZN's head of boxing. He has a lot more power than what people think. This talk of Golden Boy eventually getting the power is nonsense. Its obvious now Hearn has a **** ton of cash, they just had to make an adjustment to get Canelo on board. I'm sure Hearn has his say as he has a personal relationship with the heads of DAZN, but this goes further than that. This is John mutha f'n Skipper. As I said when he got on board, he is a true deal maker. Skipper knows how to close the deal. He was the one in GBP's offices for two weeks before the deal was signed. If GGG gets on with DAZN, it will be mainly because of Skipper. Any big deals for DAZN, it will be Skipper getting it done. LOL of course Skipper, but its all and good whilst hes got only boxing to deal with. He's got a ton of **** coming at him to make DAZN work. Boxing will be the least of his concerns It will definitely be Hearn, not Skipper, who negotiates and closes deals with fighters and other promoters, with Skipper setting the financial limits.
