darren barker - oops retires
andy lee - oops went down a division
daniel geale - up next

we making history baby, after this lineup i'll be ready for Ward or a 40 year old injury prone Martinez, or even a HOF fighter (cotto)that began his career at 140 .
WAR GGG, no no man "you a good boy"

[Mikhnienko]

Could GGG v Geale really do 20k in ticket sales ?

I doubt it. Don't know what K2's goal would be but 10K would be impressive to me Adamek only got around that in NJ with his Polish fanbase. Ward vs Froch did around 6000 in the Super 6 finals which had lots of publicity and Bradley vs Alexander did under 6300 when both were considered two of America's best young talents in a unification fight.

[Pigeons]

Only 20K? Golovkin is huge in America, I don't know if that capacity would be enough to accommodate all the Americans that want to see Golovkin fight.

what's a golovkin to do, when every man and his dog is running from him?

[bojangles1987]

I'm just glad that it's looking like Golovkin's mandatory won't be his next fight.

Why because they submitted for an exemption? You're assuming the WBA operates based off common sense you should know better.

Looks like they're trying to bribe them by comparing the two fights.

We'll see.

I find it weird he was mandated when he's not even number 1 and the Chudinov/nielsen fight wasn't even allowed to go off till Fletcher agreed to it.

When Sergio Martinez ducks you to fight B- level fighters from the UK, what's a Triple G to do...

[Tobi.G]

GGG at his best stops Geale, no doubt. But Geale is a much better opponent than Fletcher. He has no tools to trouble GGG though.

[londoner]

Fletcher isn't a bum but he's in that ball park. Geale, though, is a tough, seasoned fighter who will come to win. Can't see him beating Golovkin but I do see him giving it a good go and the way it unfolds will give us a clearer idea as to how much of a beast Gennady really is ... or isn't.
