Golovkin Can Duck Opponents By Using The "Not a PPV Fight" Excuse?

[bigjavi973]

chavez jr-martinez sold 475k ppvs; cotto-martinez sold 350k ppvs.

oh and, by the way, murray-martinez got 700k viewers; murray-golovkin got 860k viewers.

dont avoid the question:

what exactly does GGG prove by beating chavez, who had a questionable decision with bryan vera ffs, rather than dethrone the reigning lineal champ at 168?

[bigjavi973]

rios-cotto would be a good scrap

Ik I was just replying to d-checc about that... I wouldn't mind seeing rios & cotto at 154 FOR NO BELT! lol

A fan of both fighter. No one is ducking anyone. Cotto is a small middleweight. He can fight GGG on his 2nd fight.

How can you be a small middleweight when you weighed in at 155lbs for a 159lb catchweight fight? He is below a small middleweight. Cotto is a comfortable Jr Middleweight and no MW title will change that.

Yeah, Monte Carlo is the playground of the rich and famous. It is known to sports fans owing to the F1 GP that is held there every year:

There are yachts in that photo that even Floyd and Pac's combined purse from the upcoming fight could not pay for. That's what Monaco is.

That's been their reasoning for years. Ward isn't a PPV fight, it doesn't make financial sense. Even when Ward was semi-active.

But whenever another fighter uses that same reasoning to not fight Golovkin, they are vilified by virtually all of his rabid and hypocritical fanbase.

And what fighter is using that reasoning not to fight GGG? Cotto? Sorry, doesn't hold water because Cotto is a MW title holder and should be defending against the best in the MW division, PPV or not. Once you hold a title in a division it becomes a matter of honor to defend it, not a matter of money. Cotto has no honor.

Regardless of that, PPV should not be an excuse laid out by GGG or Ward, because none of those 2 are PPV fighters yet and it makes them look like an hypocrite regarding other big names e.g Cotto in GGG case.

How is GGG a hypocrite in wanting to fight Cotto for the lineal title in the division where both are title holders? It should be a manner of honor, but as I mentioned about, Cotto seems to be lacking in that area.

rios can fight 168.

he's probably heavier than cotto.

Oh so Golovkin is the only one allowed to use PPV and money as an excuse but Cotto has to fight for "honour".

[Left Hook Tua]

my point being that beating ward would be better for GGG than beating chavez jr.

resume yeah.

but chavez for the checkbook.

Its GGG s best shot at ppv standing, beating the biggest ppv star above Canelo weight. Everyone wants Chavez for that reason: Ward, Froch, Hopkins.. Plus he's not busy with tuneups till 2016 at best

junior middleweight = 148 - 154
middleweight 155-160

you're welcome

What does he prove? Not much. He just earns a very good payday and shuts up Chavez Jr.'s big mouth once and for all. Chavez may vanish completely for a year or two to get over the embarrassment of his beating after the fight is over considering all the crap he has spewed on twitter.

It's more than he would prove by kicking Ward's ass because all of Ward's fans will start making excuses about ring rust and how Ward needed a couple of tune up fights first and he was nowhere near his best after such a long lay off.
