I wonder if DiBella will stop writing Golovkin off if he defeats Macklin?

Sergio is looking to cash out against Cotto next year. Sweet Lou & him want nothing to do with GGG and the line about him not being known enough or bringing anything to the table is BS cuz HBO would pay big money for that passing of the torch.

Wow a whopping 2.5 million lol..folks forget Sergio has fought for peanuts most of his career and isn't looking to go back to fighting for peanuts again..he made a hell of a lot more in the end for fighting Chavez Jr..Martinez wants to fight Cotto because it's a ppv level fight meaning more money when it's all said and done...let the dude finally get paid..he gave us enough great moments for cheap on premium cable. Now let Lou come to his team with some money that can be considered comparable to what he would make fighting on ppv and he says no then it's a duck until then it's about money...something he earned the right to chase considering how long it took him to get an actual payperview event.

Been waiting for this fight! Should be good, but I think GGG got this and should finish Macklin within the distance.

Sergio needs someone like Cotto who has slowed alot the past few years and hasn't performed up to his past achievments!! He's also a smaller guy who doesn't punch hard!
I think GGG & Macklin within a year are too much for Sergio, his last fight he looked terrible and no excuses about the knee he was shuckin and jivin and praying to get it over with! He needs a good pay day then get before the others come get him!
