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

[kiaba360]

There was a recent article with Team Chudinov saying that they've been contacted by Team GGG. I think DeGale presents too much risk, hence why he isn't on GGG's radar.

The only fight i wish to see him fight at the moment if he moves weight class is against Froch. Otherthan that, i only want him to see him fight other MW title holders, and his promoter/manager needs to pull their fighter out to get that done. No more defending against WBA contenders.

If its not Froch, then the winner of Lemieux - N'Jikam, please.

I know several people who don't really follow boxing but know who GGG is because of the KO streak. He is more well known than many American boxers.

Of course - makes sense. 20 knockouts in a row against contenders and prospects is a very rare occurrence. If you ever do a search on Golovkin on a media search engine you will see he is is being written about in India, China, Japan, Mongolia, South Africa and Australia. Crawford may have more skills but he is not getting written about any where near as much.

It's the KOs which is one of the reasons that GGG wants to stay in the middleweight division unless there is big money for a move out of it. All the Cotto and Canelo fan boys on here moan like hell but the reality is that with every fight that goes by GGG is creating his own legacy and especially so when it's a KO. If he never moves up or down (which would be a shame) but retires undefeated with a 80%+ KO record he'll end up being a modern day great.

In terms or worldwide popularity I'd wager that the following active boxers are most well known.

Pac
Mayweather
Vlad
Khan
Cotto
Golovkin
Canelo

Haymon bid $3.1million for the DeGale-Dirrell purse which was split 50/50. I'll let you do the maths. Spiteful troll? Nope, just simple truth.

Huh? So he got 1.55 million for the Dirrell fight. GGG got 1.5 million for the Monroe fight. And yet in your original statement you stated that DeGale made more in the Dirrell fight than GGG has made his whole career.

Now you are claiming that Golovkin has only made $50,000 in all the rest of his career? GTFOH!!

You ARE either a spiteful troll AND/OR you totally flunked maths at all grades.

I said in one fight, not his whole career. GGG has not made more than that for a single fight. Comprehension is key. You must have flunked English.

Agreed - it's high risk/low reward. I've seen people on this site ask that Golovkin step up to first face Froch and the face Ward straight afterwards.

Step up a division and fight the number 2 followed by the number one. Different standards.

I don't hear people asking Rigo to step up and fight Walters and Lomo one after the other or Ward to step up and fight kovalev and then Stephenson.

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.

Oh dear - Now we see you are a liar too.

I notice you didn't bolden the words "for a single fight". It's ok, your ******ity is forgiven.

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.

Because he is on my ignore list, I can only read Jerk Jiggler's posts in quotes but even there it is nice to see the idiot getting totally


He's a typical anti Golovkin troll with extremely limited intelligence.
