Comments Thread For: Golovkin: No Chance I'd Go To 155, 156, 158 For Canelo!

[Jsmooth9876]

It's because people perceive that all Pac and Mathysse fans jumped on board the GGG bandwagon. Haymon fans/ Floyd fans want him to fail miserably.

This has caused a perceived shift in Floyd fans jumping on board team Ward to be the foil to GGG. And so the story goes....the opposite side wants Ward to fail miserably.

When in reality most people don't care about Ward at all. He hasn't been a name in boxing in years. Most people just enjoy watching GGG fight...

ward is the 2 million dollar man! he's going to be making more money than kovalev and he's going to be fighting on kovalev's undercards until they fight each other. ward could be the next haymon. how to deliver a crappy product and still make money.

Yea he's more fan friendly. But to play the Devils advocate his PPV with Lemiux said other wise

Love me some GGG but tha PPV was an epic failure

[Johnwoo8686]

exactly..the same way Ward has no say against GGG right?

Given his PPV numbers I won't say GGG is that much of a star

He does not have to be a huge PPV star. I am glad his PPV was a failure. Look at what happens to these guys when they get too big. They suddenly become princesses. GGG was heading in that direction. In fact I think he still might be. I would rather see a respectable champion who stays busy. He could become a unified/undisputed champion, stay busy and I would then be happy.

He was fighting a French Canadian that no casual fan outside of Montreal has ever heard of.

Canelo should just put on some lace like De La Hoya

Loeffler NOT GGG said the email from an official of Ward’s promoter, Roc Nation Sports, extends a 50/50 purse-split offer to fight in 2016 after each fighter took one fight earlier in the year.

"It would’ve been a bad deal to take," Loeffler said.

Signing a contract to fight a fighter a year and 6 months before they fight is a bad deal

Ward wanted 50/50. By late 2016, the split should be 70/30

It's not a duck.

And especially since Ward had turned GGG down twice.

Ward didn't want the fight when GGG came looking, but suddenly wants GGG to sign a contract over a year before the fight.

Why the hell would you give away your leverage that early.

Ward wanted him to sign that likely because if they do fight, Ward would of been offered 70/30.

It was a ****ing clown deal.

Ward might actually fight Kovalev. If that HBO deal is contingent on Ward fighting Kovalev then he won't have much of a choice unless he chooses to go inactive again and tries to sue his way out of the deal lol. Seen that before.

If they do fight, it won't be until after he is finished with his catchweight tune ups vs SMWs and actually ready to fight.

Kovalev will get to sign a legit contract when Ward is finally finished taking all these "first steps"

They haven't signed any Contract to fight each other.

With Ward using terms at some point, I doubt he wants the fight in 2016.

^^^^ GGGSaltyFanBoy

Breath deep my young padawan! Dont let the Triple Gay hype cause you a panic attack or something similar. I am worried about you

Im fine.

Watching Ward pick up fights with 38 year old SMW that he dragged up to LHW and gave 3 weeks to get ready, it's enough to make this all too enjoyable.

Ward is a chump.

Without all his dirty tricks and the fear he will headbutt you, he isn't dangerous to guys like GGG or Kovalev.

Ward will clinch, hold, hold the arms, and throw around his head.

A dirty POS fighter.

Ward hasn't blown up because everyone knows what he is!

Something GGG laid out clearly:

Hey, Ward, wake up! Why are you talking trash about other people? Speak for yourself. If you're trying to make a name for yourself by mentioning me to build up your own fight, then be a man about it and tell the truth. At our meeting with HBO they asked us whether we are ready to box. You know our answers - I said yes, you said no. You said something about your shoulder or promoter - I'm not interested in the reason, I only heard your "no." But you remember that HBO said then that they would need a long time to build-up the fight. Then what the **** are you talking about excuses?"

"If you do provocative attacks, do not even think that Loeffler [Gennady's K2 promoter] will buy into them. You haven't been interesting to anyone for a long time, so he will no longer engage in the promotion of your name. Go and build your own image. Although everyone already knows what you are, and because of this, they do not go to your fights."

"You shouldn't worry about who I'm going to box or have boxed. You, like the rest, were lucky with the "Super Six" tournament because you got your opponents by contract. And who are you fighting now? The fourth-fifth ranked fighters in England...If I say that I'm ready to box any middleweight and ready to rise to 168 for a big fight, then I am responsible for the words. And I have nothing left to discuss with you. As a man, you are dead to me."


damn!

So Golovkin won't even budge 2 lbs to 158 to fight Canelo, but expects Canelo to go up 5 lbs to 160? O buh Canelo shook doe.

What a (German) *****, Golovkin is. Next on his hit list? Andy Lee if we're lucky. "He wants to unify the MW titles doe." :wank:

would you be OK with GGG getting all the SMW belts at a 161 CW?

If GGG wanted to gain three SMW belts without having to fight but 1 pound above SMW, people would go nuts.

But you are ok with Canelo trying to get 3 MW titles at 155?

Canelo weighs more than GGG on fight night.

Why should he be willing to do a CW?

Besides, Canelo only offered a 155.

I actually think if Canelo said 158, they'd do it. But what's the point, Canelo won't do that.

GGG knows Canelo was always too cowardly to fight him.

And Canelo isn't coming up anywhere.

Canelo is a MW who drains.

Dude comes in at 175.

Canelo is a ****ing Coward.

People thought he was Mexican Warrior, turns out he is Ariana Grande.

May as well cross dress like Daddy De La Hoya.

GGG did more than Cotto his first fight

All boxing sites do right now is talk about GGG.

Canelo is fight Cotto, but he is asked about GGG all the time.

GGG doesn't need a guy who can't crack the top 10 in p4p.

He does not have to be a huge PPV star. I am glad his PPV was a failure. Look at what happens to these guys when they get too big. They suddenly become princesses. GGG was heading in that direction. In fact I think he still might be. I would rather see a respectable champion who stays busy. He could become a unified/undisputed champion, stay busy and I would then be happy.

Cotto did 60,000 his fight fight.

GGG did 150,000

For a non-Hispanic, he is doing fine.

Given his PPV numbers I won't say GGG is that much of a star

So who is then, just Canelo and Cotto?

They have countries behind them.

Ward isn't even selling out in Oakland, his own city.

If GGG isn't a star, Ward is a ****ing nobody.

Which may explain why he is fighting trash.

[zerosixthree]

I've said it before. I'll say it again.

It was a b**** move when Golovkin asked for a catchweight against Ward despite being willing to fight others at 168.

It is a b**** move should Cotto or Alvarez ask for a catchweight against Golovkin despite holding middleweight belts.

And I don't care which fighter you support if you support these catchweights or are celebrating when these b**** moves prevent good fights from happening then you are a b****. Simple as.
