    I'm pretty sure the networks would put up decent money for the fight. Quillin does a lot of talking but don't wanna take a risk. I can't support that.

      Maybe Sturm in Germany.
      Stateside though, Golovkin is the biggest fight outside the others.
      Don't know how they'll budge their money with him though as he has one more fight on HBO after this
      Except Chavez not one of them is bigger payday than Golovkin.

        Macklin is another no hoper that GG fans want you to legitimize as a good opponent on his resume.

          The average person in the US makes 25K a year and doesn have a 401K. Quillin made 340K for just 1 fight. Also a Golovkin fight wil bring more then jus about anyone, there isn't really an excuse

            say what? With HBO backing GGG and prepping him to be their next "star," he would be a lucrative fight for ANYONE. Quillin said GGG doesn't bring enough money. When in reality, if anything.... It's the other way around.

            Why is that so hard to understand? You don't think a Martinez-Golovkin fight on HBO is gonna make a CHIT ton of money? Trolls gonna troll...


            Not an alt, sorry.

              That's a huge reason why they can't fight.
              Showtime/HBO

Quillin thinks he's worth a lot but he's not, and the fact that he's complaining about a potential opponent "not bringing in enough money", while he is the obvious B-side and brings less in the fight is hilarious. This is basically Quillin's biggest fight around, but he wants big money for no risks
                I think you absolutely right, Quillin is not a position to make this sort of claims. When GGG destroys Macklin in June he would have done so at a bigger stage with a good name on his résumé, the money should now be there at that stage. Quillin should be chasing the GGG/Macklin winner IMO unless GBP has Geale lined up for him.

                    Sturm in Germany might still bring in money... maybe Geale in Australia would be more too

                      I dont even know if Golovkin would beat Quillin I'm just sick of fighters making so many excuses.
