There is really no way for Canelo to duck GGG after this statement, not without looking really bad.

It is going to be glorious when GGG puts an absolute beating on Canelo.

I dont mean to be a jerk but your sig makes no sense lol
if Canelo said "G" then only 2 show up? If you are implying the word to be GGG, how would that work? you have to say "G" twice??? that's not how the game works

[HURTFEELINGS]

It really doesnt matter, neither one of them will have to fight lil g anyway...Since Ward has moved up a division, lil g will be able to move up and take on some 168 boxers so 160 will be clear for Canelo to be a middleweight champion, he can face the same guys lil g fought since they are supposed to be credible comp, and when Canelo beats them he will be promoted like crazy by GoldenBoy.

De la Oya you a disgrace ****ing ****!go suck Canelo balls!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

The guy who put Conda Lousey on the front cover of Ring Magazine talking about who's a disgrace to the sport?

[Nightfall]

the ***** inserter has the audacity to say cotto is a disgrace

Doesn't matter the belt will end up at the waist of the man who should've won it in the first place in Martinez last fight as a pro. This wasn't about money it was political maneuvering. Negotiate as the champ and drop the belt once the papers are signed. Would be funny if Canelo "hurt" himself this week and cancelled the fight...that's about all that's left in this circus of a fight.

yea but maybe he could come over the MW limit and if cotto's team fines him then they are hypocrites. If the belt doesn't mean anything then screw his demands

I'm flabbergasted that people are defending this action in anyway shape or form, some of the same people who can be found in other posts talking about money shouldn't matter in the sport now supporting this cat for dropping a belt over money regardless of the fact he's making a crap ton of it for this fight. Could you imagine if Floyd did this with a dangerous mandatory on tap? Could you imagine the @ss ripping Kovalev would've gotten for this? Or Pacquaio or any boxer with a name...but golovkin is tied to this fight in a few ways so of course it's cool he did it.

Who Came Out Of Pocket

Does anyone know who came out of pocket more for the promotion of this fight?

Because I see a lot of Oscar (way too much of him) and Golden Boy marketing this fight and doing interviews

Haven't really seen Jay Z and Roc Nation (not sure who's the front man for them) hyping up this fight.

Oscar is promoting this as a fight for the Middleweight Championship.
So it does take away from the fight.
Makes him look worse in a way

Kind of a **** move I agree, but yikes, 1.1 mil seems excessive.
