Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin: Photos From Froch, No Word From Hearn

[Barcham]

It's hilarious to read quotes from Diggler the Wriggler calling Lee and Lemieux 'mediocre' opponents when they are both middleweight title holders along with GGG and Cotto. They are exactly who Golovkin should be going after. I don't see Froch or Ward trying to get fights with Jack or DeGale or Abraham to recapture their lost titles.

Froch needs to either put up or shut up at this point. He is making himself look ridiculous. If he does not plan to fight again, then just come out and say it. Be a man and retire with honor. Right now the guy is dishonoring his own memory with these little twitter games. At the very least, he should be spending time ****ing his hot model wife but maybe it is not only his spine that has trouble standing tall these days.

I don't care about some mickey mouse awards or rankings.

Ward vs Rodriguez did great ratings on HBO despite him being out a year and the fight having no promotion whereas Golovkin's next fight against Geale tanked in the ratings despite massive hype around it.

That was when Loeffler, Sanchez and co were asked about the Ward fight and made these comments. Loeffler "we need a large chunk of the purse". Sanchez "Ward can't dictate terms to us"

Rodriguez didbt do great ratings at all, poor in fact for a 3m license fee, clueless

Because Froch wouldn't sell here on PPV.

Only PPV fights for GGG are Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather (obviously) and Chavez Jr before he lost to Fonfara.

There's only a handful of PPV fighters in America - Floyd, Pac, Cotto, Canelo and that's it. No one else sells PPVs right now. That certainly doesn't mean GGG isn't one of boxings biggest names, it just means PPVs don't sell like they used to.

Well since GGG is such a huge draw then it doesn't matter as he will sell the ppv himself right?

They havent nentioned Quilkin in a long time. He was given multiple offers before Gbp/Haymon were banished from hbo.

Floyd doesnt belong in the discussion at all gtfo. Hbo would probably happily let ggg fight him on hbo and come back as a ppv megastar after knocking floyds block off on hbo on ppv

Then let him knock Lara's block off and beat him worse than Canelo did.

It's better fight than the likely stumblebum that he will fight if negotiations with Froch die out.

No...Im saying he should earn a fight with a big name like Froch.

Lemiuex, Andy Lee and N'Dam - what a murderers row.

Why not Lara, DeGale or Ward?

Can't fight on HBO
Waiting for Groves
Fighting tune ups

There. That was easy.
Froch knocked on the door and now he's trying to talk his way out of fighting GGG.
Douche

GGG is a much bigger name in the states than Froch. The last time Froch was in the states he was losing an ugly, boring decision to Andre Ward in a bingo hall.

So why can he not headline a ppv?

[ИATAS]

It's funny how unrealistic these guys demands are for Golovkin that doesn't apply to anyone else. "He needs to move up in weight and fight Ward for peanuts. But not Froch because he's earned fighting whoever he wants! Bute has more courage than Golovkin because he fought guys in his own weight class! Let me tell you about the time Froch moved up to 175...".

How is Lara going to fight on HBO?
You need to tell everyone how Lara will be able to fight on HBO or STFU about it.

Thanks to NATAS for pointing out that Team Bute were far more confident in their man than Team GGG

Bute was in a very similar position to GGG at the time. KO'd a bunch of no hopers and had a band of rabid fans saying he was P4P top 10 but he also had many doubters.

His team were still willing to even go to Oakland to fight Ward off PPV to prove themselves.

LOL Who said anything about Bute being top 10 P4P LOL...Triple G destroyed everyone he has faced who hasn't ducked him including Ward said he'd come down to 160 for Floyd but not Triple G..

Triple G has an amazing amateur background as well.. Bute was clearly an overhyped POS who never even made HBO..

Triple G is an HBO-star you delusional idiot

Such a strange reply since you quoted my post where I explain there are only a few PPV draws in boxing (GGG wasn't included in the list).
