Loeffler trying to make GGG/Lemeuix fight for 2015

[MrRolltide91]

I also crossed the agent Cotto in New York after the fight Lemieux and he indicated to me that the negotiations between him and the clan Alvarez for the organization of a fight this spring were not going well. Cotto wants to fight at Madison Square Garden in New York and Alvarez prefer the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Cotto gets a voluntary... would be surprised if either picked up Lemeuix instead of GGG....who offers more

Wanting to fight GGG is like having a death wish. Canelo has stated he is willing but don't know will it happen. We can forget about Cotto.

Lemieux should ask for ton of money if he's gonna get knockout by GGG.

Should happen in Canada then for HBO money and Canadian PPV.... plus I'm sure the place will draw a good amount

Of course they should fight in Canada... But no matter how big the money is, do you think that Lemieux is ready to take such a huge career risk at the age of 26? I don't.

This is what I thought should happen. Fight Murray and Lemieux while waiting for a shot at the WBC belt. The other option was Korobov but he obviously lost and I doubt Andy Lee will be fighting GGG anytime soon, I'm sure they'll milk that title for a bit.

Yeah i'm sure the Canadians will love this fight as much as Kovalev/Stevenson. GGG would love to have a Canadian in Canada in his resume.

It must suck to be Lemieux. He cannot escape the GGG name and will have to let the Canadian crowd see him get knockout by GGG. But atleast get paid handsomely for it.

Lemieux and his management know they're in a situation where they can make money and wait another year for Golovkin when it'll be worth even more. Any talk for now is just hype they'll use to build other fights. Before losing to Rubio, David was averaging almost 5k people while headlining (and fighting cans). I know before Lemieux wanted Matthew Macklin, I wouldn't doubt that sorry fight still gets made.

I don't know about Lee avoiding Golovkin. Andy comes so close to losing alot of his fights, any defense he takes comes with a good chance he'll lose. I think Hearn & DiBella will happily serve him up to GGG for a good price. Where if BJS wins, I forsee Alvarez-Saunders in Vegas.

I don't think Lee fights GGG anymore. Now that he has a belt, no point in fighting GGG and losing.
Unifying MW is now a lost cause

I wouldn't be so sure. The money HBO will put up for a unification fight for GGG will be a decent wedge. It'll be Lee's most lucrative offer financially.

Lee isn't an idiot, if the purse for the GGG fight is enough to see him retire, then he'll take it. His other option is Billy Joe Saunders, which is a risky fight but wouldn't pay as much.

Hearn knows how to build big money "home fights" in the UK...

Canelo should fight in NY, it's really the only way that fight should be made.
