Comments Thread For: Loeffler: GGG To Be Active, Won't Wait For Cotto/Canelo

They pretty much summed it up by saying no matter who he fights people show up. What need is there to pay a good fighter a deserving purse when we can pay subpar comp peanuts, pack out a stadium, collect a check and blame everyone else while we do it 4 times a year.

That's bull****, as usual from you.

GGG Geale 900k/600k
GGG Rubio 750/500
GGG Macklin 350/300
GGG Stevens 400/300.

That's not peanuts, see Quillins title defenses with guys getting 100k. But more so, no other A side champ gives as good a percentage split to B side challengers

welp......

???? You think he should go inactive and wait for these guys? That's not what brought him here, nor good in any other way really

I could see it being Andy Lee in Ireland in late August/early September. I don't know how I feel about that fight, think Lee matches up poorly with Golovkin. Maybe we get lucky and we get a re-enactment of Hagler/Hearns, otherwise Golovkin/Ishida II.

No way GB lets Lemieux fight Golovkin this year (assuming he beats N'Dam). If N'Dam wins, he may try and cash in on the PBC. He said he wants a Quillin rematch.

GGG VS Lemieux!!! Make it happen Boxing Gods.

Yup. Golden Boy is saving Lemieux for Canelo

Lee is with DiBella who is close to Haymon and who is also looking to fight Saunders.

His pickings are 160 are slim. I dont get the point of him staying active if its only going to be glorified sparring sessions without headgear

Seriously doubt it for multiple reasons.

If I'm them I would make a serious offer to Andy Lee, even if that means paying BJS a big step aside fee. Unification is the most important thing here besides Cotto/Canelo.

N'dam vs Lemieux is on June 20th, not sure they'll want to wait that long for a winner to emerge and then see of they can potentially make a fight. So I'd do everything possible to try and get Andy Lee, pay him whatever he wants.

Loeffler mentioned in the past that they were ready to make a very attractive offer to Lee. I do not think BJS will stand in the way because he is going to do a rematch with Eubank Jr.

As to the complainers around here... maybe one day one of your heroes will grow a spine and a set of balls and actually get in the ring with GGG. I know Cotto never will, the guy is so afraid that he won't even sign a guarantee to fight GGG after he beats Canelo, and there's little chance that he could beat Canelo! Just the thought scares him. He would probably throw the fight to avoid GGG. The problem is that Canelo would probably do the same thing so that could make for a hilarious battle with two fighters afraid to win.

Maybe Quillin, Jacobs and Lara and company will one day be free of their indentured servitude to Haymon if Oscar is successful with his lawsuit. You might actually see them be able to line up for disposal before they all retire.

Of course not. GGG should sit on the bench for a year or two like Ward instead. That would be much better for boxing.

Isn't Andy Lee fighting Billy Joe Saunders?

Probably Heiland or Tureano Johnson.
