Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Golovkin Will Go Anywhere To Face Carl Froch!

[kafkod]

Twist figures?

Ok I'll make it simple. One figure. £9m - Froch's last purse.

"Dear Team Golovkin,

Top it or STFU.

Sincerely,
Carl Froch MBE, and international sports super-star "

Fixed that post for you, lol.

And I'm glad to see you are capable of being honest with numbers - when it suits you.

Obvious reason: high risk, low reward. Ward's style and skill-set will challenge GGG more than Froch's, and Ward brings no money to the table. Pretty simple.

Why does that matter? After his last fight GGG said he's a boxer not a businessman. That sounds like a businessman excuse.

Dirk is correct here. The average football loving casual in the UK has no idea who Golovkin is. Froch isn't going to get out of bed to face one of the most dangerous men in boxing for peanuts. Ain't gonna happen.

[just the facts]

Why can't he fight ward instead?

Because taking a loss at this stage of his career would be a bad business move.

Hardcore boxing fans know who he is. Casual fans, not so much. The average man on the street has no idea who he is.

His ratings on free TV Channel 5 against a Brit, Murray, were horrendous. Was like the 38th most watched thing on Channel 5 that week.

Channel 5 ffs

I been telling people for a lil while now, that this notion that GGG Is only interested in building his legacy is pure fanboy crap. He wants to get paid just like every other fighter. Therefore I believe he will eventually fight Canelo/Cotto below 160. Once the winner of Cotto / Canelo call his bluff he will bend over and take it like a good boy in negotiations for the money.

Exactly! Follow the money, hence why team GGG will go down to 154 for Floyd or up to 168 for Froch/ Chavez Jr and why they forced the WBC mandatory (Cotto). Which is fine, fighters should maximize the earning potential but they shouldn't pretend like they'll fight anyone, or b*tch about being ducked when they won't give guys like Lara or Ward the time of day, or mention they are in it for legacy, it's always about money.

GGGTards!!! > than PTards

I've never seen more lying pos than these clowns...

GGG fans are former pac fans they jumped ship on May 3rd 2015 they don't even enter threads and comment on anything that has to do with manny only GGG ones now

Many British fans do know who GGG is.

Hardly any of us know who Andre Ward is.

Wasn't much talk or interest from people I perceive as casuals on my Facebook page. . . Mainly to do with the fact it's on boxnation. That really is the way to address casuals from boxing fans in the UK.

If GGG did fight Froch, I'm sure it would either have to be on sky box office, with a **** ton of promotion, or on fight night live sky sports 1 to drum up proper UK interest. (the second option I know isn't happening)
