Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Discusses Potential Mayweather Bout

[Bigg Rigg]

How do you know GGG wouldn't guarantee him good money? He gets high ratings on HBO is in high demand, and a fight with Mayweather would definitely sell. It's not like asking him to fight Lara. That that is understandable as Lara brings nothing to the table, but GGG would make him lots of money.

So again your argument is ******. Again how convenient that for the sake of claiming to be TBE he's a 5 division champion and holds 154 belts, but when it comes to GGG he's a 147 small guy.

Floyd just fought Maidana the cash cow, GGG doesn't bring enough money to the table. That's according to the financial advisers here on boxingscene.

but Floyd drain fighters doe.

But didn't he drain Canelo?

After all his BS about how he fights fighters only when they're comfortable and how Manny was a catch weight king, he turns around and does the same thing to Canelo.

Guess it's only OK for Floyd to do it.

To me he's both. A ww and a jr mw. GGG said he would go to jr mw to fight him and I would like to see it. Nothing else left for Floyd.

GGG also said everybody from 154 to 175 is ducking him. Yet we found out later that's not necessarily the case. A guy with 30+ fights at 160 is all of a sudden able to make 154? Although fighting an undersized Mayweather would fit GGGs MO of beating another undersized fighter.

Who's Ward???



I never b1tch about a fighter being drained if he offered to go down himself. I complained about Canelo being drained a lil cuz he was forced to fight at 152. Dawson offered to go to 168 and fight Ward so I couldn't have cared less if he was drained cuz said he was willing to go down.

canelo wasn't forced.....he offered the fight at 150 and they met in the middle at 152.

floyd doesn't go north of 147 unless its a big money fight.....what about that is so hard to understand?

[JJRod]

Canelo offered a catch weight because he knew that was the only way he was going to be able to get the fight.
Normally I have no problem with catch weights they're part of the sport.

But when Mayweather goes on HBO and accuses Pacquiao of being a cheater for weight draining Cotto. When he claims he doesn't do that because he "only fights fighters when they're comfortable", then turns around and does the exact same thing to Canelo it's called hypocrisy. It's being a little b!tch! And it's a shame dumb kiss a$$ fans like you can't notice it and refuse to call him out on this.

GGG would be a big fight. But you're to ****** to understand it.

[IronDanHamza]

How's he not both??? He first won a jr mw title 7 yrs ago. And he's now the current lineal champ at the weight.

Because for the third time he's a Welterweight who fights at Jr MW for big money fights.

In 7 years he's had 3 fights there, all three big money fights and he's weighed in 150 twice and 151 the other time.

Hence, he's a Welterweight.

Hence, why the poster referred to him as a welterweight.

There's no big money fights left to hang that hat on

[IronDanHamza]

There's no big money fights left to hang that hat on

Precisely so he will fight at his actual weight, which is WW.

He's not going north of that unless it's for big money.
