Not quite yet, I'm inclined to give Sergio the benefit of the doubt. He'll fight GGG after he disposes of Cotto. Martinez doesn't strike me as someone who'll try to get out of his HBO contract just to avoid Golovkin. Unless he changes his name to Felix Sturm.Comment

Are you sure about that? Maybe they thought they had a better option, or didn't like the money he's asking for? He did just pass on Monaco, and here's from last week:
"according to some sources, Danny Geale is already giving alibis as to why he won’t face Golovkin (again) on April 26th when he returns to the Theater at Madison Square Garden."

Yea... I asked Steve Kim about that and he threatened to block me.Are you sure about that? Maybe they thought they had a better option, or didn't like the money he's asking for? He did just pass on Monaco, and here's from last week:

Here ya go man, fresh off the press:
Geale was offered an April 26 HBO TV fight against Kazakhstan's WBA and IBO world champion Golovkin, the man with the best KO percentage of any top-flight fighter.
However, he turned it down as the fight would not have been seen in Australia, as the main pay-TV provider is already committed to bringing in a UFC promotion on that date.Comment

Really? I guess I can kind of see why.... but IMO it's ******.
Does somebody hold exclusive viewing rights for Geale that it can be on something else? Or does all Australian boxing have to be PPV over there?
Also, first he didn't want to fight in Monaco because he wanted to be on HBO, then he doesn't want the HBO date because of UFC taking the PPV date?
Well... I guess it's Golovkin's faultComment
