Come on... how can you not say Golovkin is avoided now?

[Hougigo]

GGG is avoided because the dollars aren't adding up to the risk factor. He still is making chump change (for top boxers). The arena in MSG seats less than 5000. His team needs to find him a better venue. Once GGG starts offering his opponents a half of mil and up he will start having guys beat down the door to get a shot at him.

Evidently Murray was just offered 500k for Monaco

Looks like it's time to move up. Froch, Kessler, Rodriguez, Rubio, Periban, Ward, Bika, Vera, Chavez, Dirrell, and maybe even Abraham are possible fights that could be made

Doubt Abraham or Stieglitz available... they're saving 2014 for their trilogy.
Maybe in the later half, but I see then being when he jocks hard for Martinez
Froch possible, we'll see after Groves.
Chavez Jr.... I don't even know what weightclass he's in, but maybe.
Rubio is jocking for Martinez
Rodriguez a maybe, but I remember talks broke down between the two in the past
Ward is a maybe if he's still there. Surprised he hasn't moved up to LHW since there's nothing in SMW for him.
Kessler fight would be good... think he's still waiting for a Froch Trilogy
Anthony and Bika going at it... aren't they both GBP?
Vera a maybe too... but people would crucify that option

It's not like these guys have better options. Even before this last round, GGG supposedly offered Murray more than he got for that stadium fight vs Martinez. Stevens just got 300k (after paying off Main Events!). That's an unbelievable purse for a guy of that caliber. Macklin got 300k. His previous fight he made 80k on a PPV undercard. Quillin's opponents are happy to get 100k.

You say 80k like that's a lot of money to these promoters. It's just business. Didn't GGGs promoter just say he would only fight Froch for 5x his normal purse? It's the same thing in this case. Everything is handled promoter to promoter. You guys are acting like GGG and Murray are sitting in a room together staring each other down bouncing numbers off the wall. Odds are Murray didn't even know they were even talking at all. Negotiators have a number in their mind going in and they shouldn't move off it until they're absolutely certain they can't get the other guy to their number. Boxing is big business and every person involved thinks their the smartest guy in the room.

Mora wants it, Sergio wants it, Quillin wants it but hes on showtime, a few other guys called him out. Every smw wants it but they don't count

Get real. Quillin didn't want it when he was offered the fight and was still on HBO. Quillin would get MURDERED and embarrassed.

Sergio... show me a recent article quoting Sergio asking for the fight. SHOW ME a photo of him in public in fact... lol. He is hiding just like NyQuillin did when he had the chance.

Triple G is the most feared fighter in the sport right now, hands down. Fact.

[thuggery]

He's the most avoided fighter in boxing right now

respect

You misunderstood, Macklin made 80k for the Alcine fight, after passing on 200k+ to fight GGG before Proksa finally accepted.

I never heard about them asking for 5x for Froch, but definitely need a major raise given that GGG just made 400k.

And good job saying nothing.

lol I'll give yous some articles in a little bit

[mathed]

If Murray is "ducking" him, why is he all of a sudden on the same card as Golovkin? Why are the governing bodies allowing Murray to have extra fights if he is Golovkin's mandatory? You don't think there is the possibility of all the decision makers trying to build this fight up?

LMAO, just much easier to say everyone is ducking the guy even though he managed to fight 4 times this year....

[Foreign Soil]

Being offered to fight Golovkin but turning it down just to say you're fighting on the same card is some laughable ****.
