Comments Thread For: Golovkin At Top Of His Game: I Feel Like I'm 20 Years Old

[HeroBando]

Golovkin's manager just admitted they turned down Ward because they wanted more than 50%. Don't lie to yourself about it. Genady wants easy money, it's pretty obvious. He wouldn't even fight little Lara.

Well that is a joke offer, right? 50/50 in a year, when its nowhere near 50/50 now and will be lopsided in a year, like 75/25.

Who was Lara offered by? Not HBO, they haven't shown a Haymon fighter in 2 years and doubt they'd start with a runner who dropped his pants in his one shot at big time

Tom Loeffler gave GGGs team that option, sanchez rejected, this by sanchez words...

Loeffler is team Ggg. I doubt even Loeffler could get Lara on HBO, esp now that Lara is making 1m for no hopers with horrible ratings.

In any case, team Lara doesn't even want it. Remember they got called out on it after Delvin, then took months to say they'd prefer Andy Lee. its no wonder, even Lara's manager barely gives him a chance

First of all, your post has nothing to do with what you quoted. You get a C- for misdirection.

Second, damn straight they turned Ward down at 50/50 in September of 2015. His last fight was Paul Smith, a fighter ranked lower than any of GGG's previous 5 opponents. He's supposedly scheduled to be on an undercard of the Cotto fight and can't get an opponent. I doubt it's anyone in top 10 in either SMW or LHW.

He acted like a diva, made poor promotional decisions and barely fought in the last 3 years. There's absolutely NO reason he should get 50/50 from any top caliber fighter. Even Pascal should demand 60/40 from Ward.

GGG's team offered him a true "meet us in the middle" deal in early 2015 - 164 at 50/50. He rejected. That ship has sailed by now.
