WHy is Golovkins team calling out Mayweather instead of Lara, Ward, Degale??

You guys have all missed the aim of this thread. Im trying to say IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, Mayweather and Cotto will not fight this guy because they know he's too big they cant beat him. Instead of Geale and Macklin why do a Carl Froch and challenge yourself against the best around your weightclass which is easily Ward, followed by Degale, Lara, even Kovalev would be closer to him in fight night weight than Mayweather

Ok, everyone on NSB realizes Mayweather vs GGG will never happen. What's your point? It doesn't hurt for GGG saying he would want to fight Mayweather.

As for Cotto, Golovkin is mandatory to his belt. They are currently in the same weight class (Cotto is fighting Geale next defending his middleweight crown). Not sure why GGG wouldn't want to go after Cotto, being that he's lineal MW champ. That's usually the goal of every weight classs - to become THE man in the division. If Cotto doesn't want to fight him, hopefully he'll be stripped and GGG can fight for the vacant title.

probably the same reason Lara, Ward, Hopkins...pretty damn near everybody calls out Mayweather to a fight

it's weird how people get offended isn't it? lol

It's a huge payday, the biggest fight possible for any fighter in the sport is against Mayweather. Doesn't get any bigger than that. Nothing wrong with dreaming (Golovkin even said that's his "dream fight").

mentioning mayweather gets your name in the news. it's that simple. golovkin surely knows that mayweather will never fight him

Money. Although I would like to see him fight Canelo. That's the fight he should be pushing.

If Alvarez beats Cotto, I fully expect that fight to happen.

I have no problem with him saying it, but he just needs to realize every fighter fights for $$$$. Every fighter thinks that way and GGG just isn't as high as others on the list so he'll be waiting a while.

These three have recently expressed a desire to fight Golovkin, they are all around the same size as Golovkin and will weigh similar to him on fight night, he would outweigh both mayweather and cotto by atleast 20lbs on fight night. What's the deal?? The most feared man in boxing rejecting fights against world class elite challengers

You don't know to take the spot of the PPV cash king why would you fight Lara for 50 thousand when you can make an easy 20 million fighting a guy who can't break an egg

Mayweather fights on PPV, the others don't. Same reason he calls Canelo and Cotto.

Kinda like how Monroe fights on ppv

Once again... neither Golovkin nor his team called out Mayweather. They answered a question. GGG never came out and said "I challenge Mayweather to a fight." and that is what it means to 'call out' a fighter. But it seems that very few people around here know the meaning of the term 'call out' because even when GGG says after his fights that he wants to fight Cotto next, that is not calling out a fighter. Calling out a fighter is making a direct challenge, usually accompanied by an insult saying that the guy is afraid of fighting him. Golovkin has never called out another fighter in his life.
