Lou DiBella on Sergio vs Golovkin: 'A fight that economically makes no sense'

This was started last year however the article just came across my timeline on twitter today on boxing fanatik strange

No one is scared of GGG he too have to go through the pain that someone like Martinez went through before he is able to build himself up and then warrant a shot, he is going about it the right way by fighting in America which would make him what the risk.

Just like Martin Murray and Darren Barker went through these pains that Sergio went through? Lmao!

Lou dibella is a promoter who is trying to protect his bottom line. And people are surprised by this?

If the ggg fight does happen tho, it needs to happen when martinez is atleast in his thirties lol.

Not really, but GG has to go through it.

Golovkin (24-0, 21 KO) is a legitimate contender in the middleweight division. But he is not a star, and he's got a long way to go before he builds his name enough that he could face the likes of Sergio Martinez, says Martinez's promoter, Lou DiBella.

"Who would give a flying ****, and why are you even asking? Who knows Gennady Golovkin other than you, me and a few other people? How many people would he bring to the table? How much money would he generate? ... He is a very good fighter, but it's a fight that economically makes no sense."



But Martin Murray makes economical sense? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck huh.

Agreed. There is no $ in fighting 3G now with the Jr fight looming.

3G needs to make a name of himself in 2013, but of course by the end of 2013 Maravilla will be way too over the hill to fight at the elite level he once fought in.

GGG is screwed.

Martinez is 37.

I think the Martinez camp (not Sergio himself), is afraid of fighting GGG.

GGG is the biggest threat in the MW division. Sergio is only 36 years old. Not much time left for him in this sport so he and his camp want to cash in on big name fighters only, not just big punch fighters.

That's why you only hear Sergio talk about Mayweather, Pac, Canelo and not Ward or GGG.

Lol let's just call it what it is - GGG is too risky for Sergio to fight.

I remember when the last great Middleweight had a goal to unify the division no matter what. He wanted all the belts to show he's the best. He didn't settle for chasing rematches with overrated hype jobs. But hey its Sergio's legacy. If he wants to waste the last years of his career chasing pipe dreams that's on him.

Martinez is 37.

Just sayin, if the fight takes place id like to see it take place within the next 3 years, optimally within the next year to year and a half.

Not when Martinez is 40+, skills/reflexes/speed are rapidly deteriorating (or are already deteriorated), etc. Id just like to see the fight when martinez is still on top of his game, and can give a younger buck a run for ther money. Not when he is a grandpa, being rolled out to the ring in a wheelchair, a shell of his former self, etc
