Comments Thread For: Quillin: Golovkin Doesn't Bring Much Money To The Table

[Public_Enemy]

Quillin is a clown. He suggests GGG go up in weight and fight Ward but then says GGG doesnt bring much money to the table. He doesnt want any parts of Golovkin.

And what Quillin brings to the table? No title, no money, no name...He should be begging for the fight.

Yo, on the real...

Quillin better redeem himself, and he better do it quickfast. We may actually look back at him turning down the Korobov fight as one of the biggest mistakes made in modern sports.

Right who does he think he is, If my memory serves correctly the crowd didn't exactly show Quillin love after his last win, it was more a mixture of boos and uninspired clapping lol dude doesn't have a fan base, crazy thing is I liked Quillin when he first came on the scene now he's got the big head already when he hasn't done issshhh

I thought Haymon was Quillin's adviser NO? If so Quillin needs to be advised to keep his mouth shut about GGG who's is gaining more and more fans by the day, while Quillin's out here talking crazy talk and losing the little fans he did have left..... If you don't want to fight GGG you shouldn't even mention his name...

I'm sure Quillin is dumb enough that he says this stuff when he's pressured by interviewers who don't feel threatened by his presence. Quillin is a joke and everyone who follows boxing knows it so I'm sure interviewers would love to put pressure on this man just to get a ridiculous interview from him.

Will anybody buy a ticket to watch quacklin fight?

This is wrong on so many levels it's hard to decide where to start ...

"I believe that if you're a true fan of somebody, you support them for the reasons that you do."

I think what it means is that he thinks that his true fans will support him regardless of what he does, and he doesn't care about the rest. So he can safely spend the rest of his career fighting tomato cans. Right?

"Korobov would have got $400,000 to get knocked out by Kid Chocolate but instead he got 160 to get knocked out by Andy Lee"

He says this as if it was Korobov's choice.

I wonder who started this trend? Since when has it become acceptable to openly say you are not fighting somebody because you think there's not enough money in it? Before people faked injuries and said someone else wasn't "worthy" of a shot. Now guys like Quillin and Stevenson say there's not enough money for them to take best fights?

When Floyd does it he just about gets away with it because people pay hoping he gets KOd, and because he's number one. The fools trying to follow his footsteps will end up ruining their careers. Thank God we have some real fighters to watch instead...

Its already is one of the biggest mistakes imo, who turns down 1.2 million? Everybody wanna make Mayweather money now because they get with Haymon it's ridiculous! Haymon better stop overpaying some of these bums man....everybody gotta eat and feed the family but turning down a winnable fight for 1.2 million after your last lackluster performance is a no brainer!!!!

Its only worse that Korobov ended up getting KOd too.

Drops his title, loses career high payday, and the guy he was supposed to face ends up getting knocked out anyways.

Peter Quillin really is something else. Its as if he feels he is doing everyone a favor dropping his title and not aiming for Golovkin.

Golovkin earned $900k for Rubio. If Rubio made weight he would of made $450k. (Failed to make weight so he gave up $100k to GGG) That's $50k more possible than if Korobov had to fight Quillin.

I would assume its better to get knocked out by the boogeyman GGG than get knocked out by no title having Quillin. Plus you can probably just flop like Rubio did against GGG and make it look real because he punches so damn hard.

Quillin is either delusional as hell or Haymon's ultimate puppet.

I just don't know what this guy is thinking or the rationale for dropping the belt. Think of a card headline, WBO/IBO/WBA/interim WBC unification GGG/Quillin over just Quillin unbeaten former belt holder vs whoever. Now if he fought GGG he has no drawing power in the headline for the card. He would basically be a GGG defense of his titles and nothing more.

With Floyd, a lot of buys come from people who want to see a KO, but really it's the fact that Floyd been in the game 20+ years including the Olympics + he already had established a following early in his career... Guys like Quillin are coming out of no where with no established following and want 5 million per fight, It's the entertainment biz!!
