Golden Boy CEO Eric Gomez responsible for Canelo bypassing September

Canelo will never make it as a world star......up his own ass , got toyed with by mayweather , lost both fights to golovkin , was outboxed by Lara , failed a drugs test and was banned , refusing to fight a legitimate challenger after agreeing a multi million dollar deal with his paymasters who do actually call the shots.....and has a promoter who loves working wooden spoons up his dirtbox. The plungerman has confirmed he has the brains of a plumber ladies and gentleman.

What don't ppl understand, DAZN isn't willing to approve any fight unless it's GGG or Kovalev for Canelo. It's crazy that they are shutting down names when they allow so many other top fighters fighting bums on DAZN. We'll see what bum GGG fights next Gotta pay the bills some how.

Canelo should stop being a diva and just fight his IBF Mando in September to keep his belt. Wouldn't be too much of a hassle What don't ppl understand, DAZN isn't willing to approve any fight unless it's GGG or Kovalev for Canelo.

Really?? https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/27177686/kovalev-move-canelo-talks-hit-snag Canelo wouldn't even fight Jacobs or Rocky Fielding without leveraging special princess clauses into the contract. If Hurd ever moved up to fight Canelo, Canelo will probably get a rehydration clause put in. LOL.

Eric Gomez knows that Kovalev is a way tougher fight than GGG. Gomez doesn't want to see Canelo get his ass whooped by a LHW when he could have just fought Golovkin again and generated more money.

Sorry I got the belts wrong. Canelo is giving up his IBF belt. Hard to keep track of all 4 pesky alphabet groups.

Canelo should stop being a diva and just fight his IBF Mando in September to keep his belt. Wouldn't be too much of a hassleExactly. Many Canelo fans and GGG haters trashed GGG unmercifully for not fighting the same guy and losing his belt. Then when Canelo does the same thing and loses the same belt it is ok because it's Canelo and nothing he does could possibly be wrong or his fault.

Who gives a flying fuk about same day weigh in? I saw this quote already. As long as their is no catcweight I think that's fair considering it wasn't long ago Canelo was fighting at 154lbs. Or 155 lol Christ people just don't want to give Canelo credit. They'll be fighting at 175 fuking pounds. Insane for Canelo to do this.Clearly Canelo gives a flying fuk about it because he insists on it. Canelo has not fought at 155 for 3 years FFS. He weighed in at 168 for Fielding looking lean and hard. He has grown into a big middleweight. FFS quit making excuses for him and building him up into some fearless god. He picked Kovalev because Kovalev is 36 and has been stopped twice and is well past prime. He could fight Smith or Bivol at 168 or fight the other young undefeated light heavyweight champs but he never will fight them. If Canelo was half as good as you say he is he would be twice as good as he really is. He is a good fighter but no better than 37 year old GGG. Anybody Canelo can beat GGG can also beat. Any fighter who can beat GGG can also beat Canelo.

He didn't insist. He asked about a catchweight and it was shut down. Then he simply asked about same day weigh in and Kathy said it was no problem. Had Kathy rejected same day weigh in, with Eric asking AGAIN...then that's defined as insisting...or am I wrong? I think you are wrong. I think it's obvious that the fight is a no go without it. Do you think Kovalev wants to do a special weight check the day of the fight? Did you learn nothing from Canelo's last 2 fights?

Canelo should stop being a diva and just fight his IBF Mando in September to keep his belt. Wouldn't be too much of a hassle

I don't think you understand very much about how fighters dehydrate and then rehydrate before a fight. Or if you do you are choosing to pretend it doesn't matter because it suits you to do so. If Kovalev is having any trouble at all making weight, a same day weigh in, depending on the weight demand, could ruin him and be even worse for him than a catchweight. Ask yourself, if it didn't matter, why would Gomez be insisting on it?? He didn't insist. He asked about a catchweight and it was shut down. Then he simply asked about same day weigh in and Kathy said it was no problem. Had Kathy rejected same day weigh in, with Eric asking AGAIN...then that's defined as insisting...or am I wrong?

There is an interview with Kathy Duva stating just last week that her impression was Golden Boy execs didn't want to make Canelo vs Kovalev. Probably because they wanted to cave to DAZN and the financial rewards with a GGG fight. She got the feeling Eric Gomez didn't have much urgency and was kind of passive about making the event happen. Even stating they were taking their sweet time and stating "we'll get back to you, or we'll talk to Canelo." By not listening to your superstars request (getting him what he wants, the Kova fight) because you wanted your boy to fight GGG instead because you felt that would be more financially lucrative, you now fuked yourselves and your superstar with inactivity during the Mexican holiday. Now you ran out of time and you can't even do a GGG fight anymore. This was his negotiation, this was his error for not going hard from the beginning once Canelo gave you orders to make the fight HE wanted. According to many hard core Canelo fans like you Cashnelo, Bossnelo, Kingnelo, Godnelo is the boss of everything and the boss of both DAZN and GGG. He can fight whoever he wants whenever he wants and nobody can tell him what to do. So if Canelo decides to skip his traditional September date rather than fight GGG, Bivol, Andrade, Dervy, or Jermall after all of them said they want to fight him in September you come running to the rescue saying it's all Eric Gomez's fault. BS. Canelo could have fought any of those guys. Just did not want to fight them and never even said their names or made any offers to them. Canelo is giving up his WBA middleweight title when he could defend it. It's his choice.

Thanks for just making shiiiit up. Really?? https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/27177686/kovalev-move-canelo-talks-hit-snag Duva said Golden Boy president Eric Gomez, who she has been negotiating with, only briefly asked about a catchweight for the bout but when she said no, Gomez did not press the issue. Duva said Gomez also asked about Kovalev's willingness to do a weight check on the morning of the fight, which she said would not be an issue. Canelo wouldn't even fight Jacobs or Rocky Fielding without leveraging special princess clauses into the contract.

If Canelo does get the Kovalev fight there will be special weight stipulations in the contract. For a title fight, I personally find that unacceptable. Thanks for just making shiiiit up.

I think they want Kovalev but don't want to have to pay Yarde to get him. It's a gamble, they are betting heavily against Yarde. I didn't really care one way or another before but now I'm rooting for Yarde, at least a little bit. If Canelo does get the Kovalev fight there will be special weight stipulations in the contract. For a title fight, I personally find that unacceptable.

Because Gomez knows that Kovalev, Smith, Andrade, Charlo, etc are all dangerous fights for Canelo but only bring a fraction of the business a third GGG fight does?

What if they're waiting for Kovalev vs Yarde to be over with to face Kovalev?
