Geale wants Golovkinin April, HBO a little hesitant

[US Dirk Killer]

Geale is a better name than anyone GG has fought lol

And who in the States knows him again? What was the ratings for the Barker fight?
Kirkland got 700k+ on a HBO/Showtime split night on the same night as CFB conference championships.

Why didn't Geale accept it when the offered it in Monaco?

It's slim pickings for that n word golovkin.

I never said he would, but he is tougher for GGG than Kirkland and Ishidas of the world, GGG won't get a highlight reel KO in short rounds. He'll have to work for it and that stops the process of building a KO star. That's what HBO want to do, someone who can be marketed as a one punch KO monster.

Which is exactly what people were saying with him against Macklin. I don't rate Geale that highly, but I don't see him as being that tricky. GGG will trap him fairly easy and find a way to take him out. I'm not saying he's the second coming or anything, but compared to the rest of the division, none are on his level.

It literAlly says in the thread that golovkin is fine with fighting geale but hbo doesn't want it

But golovkin and his team offered Geale the fight in Monaco. Geale's team even said they turned it down.

HBO's the one footing this one compared to Monaco where they're just getting broadcasting rights on HBO2

Never said golivkin is ducking. What I said is it tells us about him. U can't complain about top mws fighting u if ur fighting jmws. If HBO is pushing Kirkland but will accept geale too, it kinda means golovkin has a bit of leeway. Geake is the fight he needs to take. No excuses.

Geale has had multiple opportunites to fight GGG already but turned them down due to "business". If HBO chooses Kirkland, too bad, Geale waited around and already got beat by Barker.

Ain't nobody trying to see ggg/kirkland

Geale would be alot better than the joke challengers HBO has been feeding us with GGG.

Golovkin can do no right with you people, lol.
Kirkland will most likely be the bigger money fight. Who knows Geale? Kirkland has been on HBO numerous times and got more views than Paulie/Zab and every one else on the split card night.

So if that fight offers more money than Geale would because more people in the States would watch it...what then? Everyone was cool with Geale and Murray doign other fights because it was bigger money.....but when Golovkin would do it, it's wrong?

Geale had his chance and now Golovkin haters are pinning what Geale did on Golovkin.....this is such B.S!
It's almost laughable that it's cool for Murray to fake an injury for big money fights and Geale to turn down a fight, but when the choice is HBO's, Golovkin is the bad guy here.... you guys make me laugh!

[Hougigo]

What would be cool....is if the Golovkin fight was on the Pac undercard.
Most likely he'll be the week before to lead people in

if HBO is trying to push Golovkin - Kirkland instead of Golovkin - Geale that's disappointing.

As much as I love watching Kirkland, everyone and their mother knows he's going to get ruined by GGG and it would just keep feeding the narrative of GGG fighting 154 lb guys coming up. It's not even like it's something they HAVE to do for ratings. GGG will do big numbers for them no matter who's in there.
