    No I don't baecause 1 has been in countless PPV and is the 3-4 th biggest name in boxing. Only 350 k so only 20 mil in revenue what a chump his PPV before that did 1.5

    Cotto trout did 1.4 on sho that's equivalent to almost 2mil on HBO. When Cotto fought Rodriguez I think it was the highest HBO boxing show that year I could be wrong but it was up there

    GGG has no PPV and 1.1-1.4 is ok numbers nothing to brag about on HBO. Deal with reality not your Gennady fanboyism

    Anyways I'm done Im focusing on May / Pac from here on out.

      your the biggest idiot on here

      Cotto will have no choice but to face GGG or vacant - simple as

      my money is on - HE WILL VACANT

      as for frock - yes he's fought everyone asked of him BUT WHY WON'T HE FIGHT THIS SMALL MIDDLEWEIGHT HE KEEPS REFERRING GGG AS - WHEN YOU HAVE A CLEAR SIZE ADVANTAGE

      BECAUSE HE KNOWS GGG WILL TEST THAT SO CALLED IRON CHIN

      KESSLER WOBBLED HIM TWICE
      DIRRELL HAD HIM HURT
      GROVES HURT HIM PLENTY OF TIMES

        Of course, the Canelo fight is more lucrative, that much is obvious. But they've negotiated once and it failed, what you makes you think it won't fail again?

        Besides, fighting Canelo instead of Golovkin is not my main issue, milking that MW title is. Cotto keeping that belt hostage affects Golovkin's career, and it affects the MW division.

        As for GGG not being a PPV fighter: how does a fighter becomes a PPV attraction? By fighting another PPV fighter. GGG's ratings are huge, his style is exciting, he has PPV star written all over it. Him vs vs Cotto or Froch (especially Cotto because of his fan base) would make good numbers, if you think otherwise, you're ignorant.

        And no, Golovkin is not my hero, he's just my favourite fighter. Big difference.

          unify middleweight and then move up and challenge ward. that is the best case scenario

            Then Cotto slinks back to 154 where he belongs and GGG unifies the division and fights Canelo if Canelo ever decides to leave the safety of his private, invitation only, 155 division. Then he moves up to clean out SMW as well while Ward fights at 172 and complains that GGG won't move up to fight him.

              Yes Ive said GGG should move up ONE weight class and fight ward. Nothing wrong with a pro whos over 30 yrs old and over 30 pro fights moving up ONE weight class. And no, again I dont have a problem with cotto fighting GGG... so why do you keep bringing that specific scenario up?
