Comments Thread For: Cotto's Trainer: Golovkin Can't Do Ten Cents on PPV

[Build That Wall]

define a lot. GGG's last fight vs Geale was one of the lowest rated boxing shows for HBO this year

granted Geale has little to no name value, but what are you backing up that GGG would do "a lot" on PPV with?

Golovkin vs Macklin did 1.1 million views

GGG vs Stevens did 1.5 million views

I think GGG fans are getting upset at Roach because they misunderstand what he means.

Let me put it in terms you can better understand: Freddie is simply saying that Golovkin doesn't make financial sense.

Does Rubio make financial sense for Cotto? Thats what they wanted at first.

Well he is not a draw yet that is just the truth, but that excuse for not fighting someone is getting OLD

Relax GGG fans, he haven't reached stardom here in the US just yet but they're building towards it if he keeps winning impressively.

Cotto don't want to fight GGG, that's cool no problem we all know that's a mismatch and Cotto has earned his stripes to look out for himself.The problem is blaming it on finances and businees decisions.

Yet his star pupil is fighting Algieri.

Sounds better than "just the thought of fighting Golovkin makes Cotto's knees buckle," I suppose.

haha. Just ****in talking ****. We all know cotto could not last 12 with GGG. Cotto gets ktfo or stopped. I am huge cotto fan but i am realistic

Man please. Cotto/GGG sells out MSG and does 350-400K on PPV.

Canelo, Floyd, Pac and Marquez are the only bigger fights out there for him.

There's no misunderstanding Roach. From their standpoint they can play the card, "it doesn't make financial sense ", and so we can wait a couple more years then get Cotto closer to 40, further past his prime, then lure him in with GGG and get him hurt and severely knocked out, then everyone can cry how far past his best years Cotto was. When you are Champion, not every fight needs to make financial sense. Sometimes you take out guys in your division to clean house. Cotto's problem is he can't beat Canelo. He wasn't strong enough to beat a young primed Trout. He best up a shot, 40 year old Sergio Martinez, and he won't get past a young, primed Canelo, who beat down that same primed Trout. Cotto ONLY had a few choice fights due to perfect match ups that fell in place for him, and got him where he's at with a '54 & '60 belt. No matter how good he looked with a shot Sergio, he's going to bite off more than he can chew with Canelo who loves a war. Cotto will go to the bank handsomely, but he's going to take a beating.

His second problem is that with the best at '54 in Canelo, he takes a bigger, quicker beating if he ever gets in the ring with Gennady. He has no shot with GGG, but he has a lesser chance than no chance the longer he waits.
