Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin's Promoter on Facing James DeGale

[Dirk Diggler UK]

When you find yourself in a deep hole just for the love of Mike stop *****n digging - you're not fooling anyone on here except those with a lower IQ than yourself - exactly zero folks.

A "single fight" refers to DeGale's fight and "career" refers to Golovkin.

Golovkin has never earned more for a single fight in his career than DeGale earned against Dirrell. Simple statement to understand. Truthful also.

You didn't understand what I said, I've explained it to you and you keep arguing. It's ok, your pride is swollen, I get it.

At least you got Barcham's 58 year old pecker to twitch for the first time in a while.

[tiliheels]

He fights 4 times a year, he just fought Geale and Murray, give it a rest spastic.

At least he's not fighting once a year against fighters like Delvin Rodriguez.

lara's resume poops all over GGG's..and lara's not the guy going around saying so and so cant sell but willie monroe can..this 4 times a year crap is getting old when all 4 are tomato cans..WE WANT TO SEE BIG FIGHTS AND BIG NAMES..O

[Beater_of_ass]

I don't see GGG begging for anything. He should be more aggressive when calling out fighters IMO. GGG obviously does have fans and it is childish and ignorant to pretend he doesn't. Off the top of my head only Wlad, Froch, Cotto, Canelo, Pac, and Floyd draw bigger crowds or PPV.

Being that he's 33 it's quite right his promoter looks to get him maximum $$ where possible. Obviously neither a Wlad or PAC fight make sense for size reasons and Floyd is almost in that category. That leaves the other three who all pay lip service to a fight but when Team GGG push the issue or the media pushes then things go quiet (Froch) or the fighters themselves nearly choke on their own words (Cotto).

I seriously doubt that Beat Ass is a smarter promoter then Tom Loeffler - but just in case you have some smart advice for TL lets be hearing what you have to say.

At the first bold, I know that. GGG fans don't EVER acknowledge Cotto and Canelo have more fans which lead to more money. I mean seriously GGG doesn't know which bum he's fighting next and Cotto is fighting Geale, with Canelo lined up and since everyone knows he's winning that fight are already lining him up for GGG. Keep in mind you do this while calling Cotto a p*ssy and praise GGG for fighting B class and lower opponents in the process.

At the second bold part, never did I say I was better. But also don't need to be a professional boxer to tell you that Mayweather is a better fighter than Khan because he does everything and has won more. Top Rank has built more stars than K2, and paid them more money. As has Oscar and probably Main Events and Lou DiBella and Al Haymon. This is US by the way not on the world level but I don't need to be a promoter to tell you who does and doesn't do a good job of it.

This is a simple statement and it is also true. Unfortunately it is most certainly not what you originally said. Now you are wriggling more than a bucket load of eels - just STOP.

Diggler the Wriggler. Has a certain ring to it.

Now please stop making a fool of yourself before other good folk apart from Barcham start showing up and telling you you have been totally owned.

It is what I originally said. You just didn't understand. Why would I say DeGale earned more in one night than Golovkin has in his entire career? That doesn't make sense.

Golovkin has had like 35 fights - I'd hope he'd have been paid more than $1.55m in that time otherwise he'd be something of a **** victim. He gets quite handsomely paid by HBO to fight bums and DeGale has had promotional issues throughout his career. I don't know what either's total career earnings are.

The point was that in one night, DeGale earned a higher purse for a single fight and a better win than Golovkin ever has had in his entire career. Hence I don't know why Team Golovkin would turn their noses up at a fight against DeGale. You get it yet?

As for Barcham - he readily admits, has me on Ignore - which is a sure sign that he got so butthurt in a debate with me that he couldn't take it any more. I wouldn't be using his approval as anything to boast about.

If you eat a roast turkey before it is cooked it won't taste great. K2's work with Golovkin is still cooking lets see how good they are in 2 years time - for me the jury is still out. Right now they are trying to step him up and take a leap forward with Golovkin but the other parties won't play ball and keep taking the ball home.
But I think they have done a fantastic job so far. They took an unknown fighter and in just 2 yrs 9 months he has become one of the most talked about fighters in the world in spite of the fact that he comes from a country with no boxing demographic whatsoever.
Which is GGG fighting? B level fighters or bums - or are they one and the same in your opinion? And in Cotto's last 3 fights I have him fighting 2 B level fighters - would you agree? Many would say that with Martinez' injuries he was a a 'B' level fighter ability-wise if not in name.

He's 33 years old and has a pitiful resume but his management team have always felt some kind of entitlement for some reason.

James DeGale just got a better win than Golovkin has had in his entire career and made more for a single fight than he ever has in his entire career. Let that sink in.

You're either a liar or you have the beginnings of Alzheimers - it IS WHAT YOU SAID and any one with reading comprehension can see this.
You're also Diggler the Wriggler - SLIMY AS A BUCKET FULL OF EELS.

[nacho daddy]

Golovkin might be the worst promoted fighter of all time. GGG needs a Top Rank or even GBP to have a chance at some good money. K2-sucks as a promoter and are clowns and inept morons. GGG even needs the boxing pimp Al Haymon to succeed. Being a commie in the USA doesn't help either. But GGG needs to drop K2 now.

***** has said and proved USA is more communist the Russia is now

Because you're a troll and a Froch fan boy - that is why.
