Comments Thread For: Loeffler: GGG is Biggest Fight For Cotto, Canelo in 2016

[Eff Pandas]

Really Loeffler, you obvious **** saying mfer. In other bold Loeffler predictions he said he thinks the new Star Wars movie will be #1 the week it comes out, that he doesn't think Billy Joe Saunders believes he can compete with GGG & that when you get really f#cking high & look at space the concept of space can blow your f#cking mind.

Cotto/Canelo fans are perfectly Fine with them vacating

or demanding a CW (which for Cotto is understandable, although Cotto has no bearing sinless fight GGG).

Canelo is an inch shorter and but rehydrated anywhere from 171-174.

No excuses for him

Ring magazine has said they will Strip lineal if they refuse to fight GGG

That's his likely next ppv fight until floyd relinquish those belts canelo and cotto have bigger options can drop back down to 154 for rematch with floyd or drop mw belt and rematch eachother at the new 155lb division

Lol! That's pathetic. They sure can rematch, but they not creation a new division for them.

Floyd has said he has no interest in Canelo or Cotto again.

... In fact, Floyd may fight Cotto for the 160 lineal strap even at 147 -- in case he chooses so...

... But if Canelo wins it's quite different...

Ring mag said if they refuse GGG fight, they'll strip the lineal too. If Floyd wants a MW strap, he has to fight a MW.

He can fight lee, but then his excuse GGG is too big is absurd.

Someone remind Loeffler that either of them rematching Floyd would be bigger than GGG.

Actually, he said now Floyd's gone,

Floyd said he doesn't want to fight either of these two again.

I'm sure that's the case, Canelo signed a deal that they must face GGG after their fight, but I don't think they signing of the terms means that it has to be on Triple G's terms. Canelo will set their terms (A-Side) and GGG will have to abide his terms. If not, then it will be on GGG if the fight doesn't get made and Canelo won't be stripped of his title.

Some of that changes when it's a mandatory. They could disagree in terms then it'd go to purse bid. Turn I doubt GGG would be fine with up to 70/30 split.

However, the CW can't be forced. It depends how much they believe Canelo is willing to vacate.

With Ring saying they'll strip the lineal too unless it's a rematch or etc, then Canelo will still vacate WBC.

However, it was important enough to get the step aside in the first place. Why didn't Cotto just vacate in the first place?

All people have against GGG is his first time PPV

HBO isn't worried about this. They didn't pay a whole lot.

And Cotto or Nelo is the biggest fight of GiGi's entire life. You need them Tom. Lol nobody gonna give a **** if GiGi beats another fringe contender for a vacant belt. Even if it is the beautiful green belt. He needs a name like Cotto or Canelo on his resume.

It may be a big fight, but the mandatory still mucks up the negotiations.

If Canelo is willing to vacate, then he won't fight GGG. If not, then it's a mandatory defense.

This means they can't force a Catchweight, rehydration, etc.

If I were GGG, I'd just get the belt and move on.

Canelo wants to be a coward, good for him.

Canelo is selling out baseball stadiums and doing double GGG's PPV numbers vs Angulo & Lara. After his failed PPV debut GGG is in no position to negotiate. He'll have to accept a catchweight against either guy or its back to fighting in Monaco. HBO has to be nervous after his poor PPV debut. He has the lowest PPV of any HBO #1 boxer.

he is not even #1 on HBO, canelo is the new sheriff in town...

Canelo is the bigger PPV star, he should be, he has fights with two major stars, etc.

But he is scared to fight GGG, and that's what matters.

Looooool. Yeah......no.

Loeffler is wrong, but he's just doing his job. A rematch between them, or Manny would be bigger than GGG.

But they should be forced to vacate the belt/lineal if they do that. If they do decide not to be *******, I see them offering some crappy split to GGG, like 20-80 without catchweights, and then GGG agreeing to a 157 CW for 60/40.

Guess this guy doesn't realize that the entire world is well aware that Lil G's big drama show flopped its ass off.

[doninlouisiana]

What a PPV star, he's doing those Haseem Rahman numbers. Look out Floyd there is a new PPV king.

Considering Floyd did 350K his first PPV, his numbers are not bad. He had as many PPV buys as Ward had viewers on free TV (BET or whatever the station is called).

EDIT: Thanks to carloscruz10009 I stand corrected Floyd did 350K buys in his first PPV.

The Ring title isn't the lineal title. How many times do you have to be told that?
