Comments Thread For: WBA: Golovkin's Request For Super Champion Denied

[DoktorSleepless]

Still though, the 500k was for Canada wasn't it?
Unless they offer much larger purses, he'd be making...rather keeping less in NY

The offer was for NY. No money amount has been disclosed for Canada.

I guess my point is, it doesn't have to be in NY.... the Canada offer was to avoid the Visa issue while offering the same amount they would've offered in NY. Canada isn't a huge problem for HBO because of the time zone compared to Monaco

How can Canada offer the same amount of money a NY? There would be no gate to speak of in Canada. Chances are it would have taken place in a Stevenson or Bute undercard.

Well I need to check this now.
The 500k was for Monaco wasn't it?
That's three separate places now: Monaco, Canada and NY....NY obviously out because of the Visa

Also...500k in Monaco doesn't sound unrealistic since they held the million dollar tourney there. Don't know where the money came from...

[Hougigo]

Holy god, don't know why I didn't notice this before...... is this why the Monaco seating is so small?

Golovkin should dump the belt Rid**** Bowe style. I know IBF is strict with mandatories so may be this time he can get Felix Sturm

Bowe only did that because he had to defend the belt against his #1 Lennox Lewis though, and Big Daddy wanted absolutely NONE of Lewis. Man ran like a Kenyan Olympian. Did the belt like Brenda's baby. Smh

[Weebler I]

He's always getting mad about getting shafted in other dude's back yard, 200k in your backyard for a title fight and possible PPV revenue, if they did it, sounds good to me. Not like he'd make that much against Quilin in the states, After he became champ, Rosado and Guerrero made less than that.

...that's £121k. Then 40% tax, trainer fees, manager fees...Murray's not left with a great deal, I can see why they tried to negotiate albeit they should have asked Murray himself, it seems they never tell him anything until after they make the decision on his behalf.

Golovkin is a current overhyped lowskilled can crusher №1 in the world.

"Champion" that got worst opposition on the title defenses.

Go check whence he gets the WBA belt.
On fighting light middleweight journeyman Rosado.
What a shame.
No wonder corrupt WBA has the sort of "champions" like Beibut Shumenov who's definitely lost to Campillo twice then gets the belt to defending it versus ultimate cans.

"Request For Super Champion"... ahahha that's pretty funny.

Gennady Is The Next Gy To Rule The Middleweight Division For As Long As Hagler Did

He's the real deal, and is only going to get better, sharper, and more dominate. He takes his career very serious, he's not out seeking to be gangster, he's not chasing Youtube or microphones, and he trains like a maniac.... very Marvin Hagler-like. I see that Sergio, Cotto, Canelo are all seeking to find dance partners quickly, and none are stepping up to fight Gennady. We hear crickets from Chavez Jr, and even Andre Ward isn't calling out Gennady. Gennady doens't need these artificial belts, keep fighting, and blowing thru whoever you want and keep calling out the "names". You'll be recognized as the People's Champion. It's very credible seeing you fight as often as you do, and blow thru them all. Joe Louis used to have the "Bum of the Month" campaign, where he lined up another so called contender every month, and knocked them out and went on to the next.

most people don't know sh1i about... (c)

He's like 32.
He still doesn't have a guy of CLASS A on his book. The only guy CLASS B on his list is Macklin.
He defends the title solely against bums and light middleweight bums.

so what r u talking about son?

Sergio didn't have a decent win till like 35. Froch had nothing till 31, same for Rigo.

Who do you volunteer to go in there and teach him a lesson?

Jesus...40%?
That's worse than New York...or just as bad.
NY state income is 8.82, one of the highest in the states
Monaco and Canada seem better options then.
I guess Canada isn't so great as a main event, since like Sleepless said, they're both out of water there. But Monaco has a small capacity and expensive ass seats.... also near England for people who want to fly over
