Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer To Golovkin: Come To 155, We'll Fight!

[UNBIASED BOXING]

And all will be PPV Flops. Maybe Lara/GGG does 350-450. Lee/Johnson.

I don't think Golovkin would really care. He'd still be making $1-2 millions (maybe more for certain fights) per fight even if they weren't on PPV. When you have a net worth of almost $20 million and you still have a couple of fights left in you, you're pretty much set.

It's like people remember everything all the other fighters say but forget what GGG said. Then when they do remember, they act like it doesn't count or anything.

The Floyd fight wouldn't have been for the mw belt. There's no reason to fight below the mw limit. Why would someone want to see a weight drained GGG unless they're scared their guy can't beat him at 160?

Lee/Johnson vs. GGG would TANK on PPV

Golovkin can't afford anymore ppv's right now. The Lemieux fight was a setback. Instead of celebrating a sold out 20,000 seat arena with what would've been over 1.5mill tv viewers, they had to defend 150k buys.

Honestly 2015 was not as good as it should've been for GGG.

Block GGG out of what, the WBC belt? Canelo doesn't have that kind of flexibility like you think he does. He either has to fight GGG or give up the title. If he gives up the title, Golovkin takes all belts and rules 160. At that point, Canelo will be challenger to the throne in the future. There is no where for Canelo to go. He can keep fighting at 155, but 160 and GGG will ALWAYS be looming there. Canelo is a big guy and once he can no longer make 155, he's got to bite the bullet and step up to Golovkin.

You care WAY too much about belts! If Canelo cared soo much why does Lara still have a belt??? The belts are Lil G's marketing ploy. That be some funny sht if he keeps the belts and then goes for Andy Lee...

Respectfully, you as a fan can't argue GGG would be drained at 155 when both he and his team repeatedly said he could make 154 comfortably. Now if he makes 155 and appears drained then you can conclude he and his team were not being honest or were just wrong when they said what they did.

But you can't claim drainage before, especially if you agreed with GGG and his team that yes, he could make 154.

Your issue isn't with me, its with the honesty and integrity of GGG and his team.

He might not care but I'm sure HBO will eventually. And if not he'll never get in the boxing HOFame and his career will be considered a joke! Best fighter on his list a C- Pepe Lemuix.

No offense, but I don't see how GGG has the leverage.

The belt means nothing. I doubt Canelo even cares. If GGG wants to pay the sanctioning fee, go ahead.

Canelo will never get less in any scenario. He is the main player in the sport right now, especially if the Cotto fight did over 1 mil.

It will certainly hurt his fan base if he ducks Golovkin and is stripped of the belt because of it.I can speak because I am a fan of his and generally buy his PPV. There aren't that many other big fights available for him tbh, nothing that would generate anything near a Golovkin fight anyway. If he does a Rid**** Bowe people will harp on about it for the rest of his career and since he has been building himself up as the guy that fights anybody ... well that just won't work anymore. Especially if he continues to fight at 155.

Taking all things into account ... A side versus being stripped the fight should be made at 157 or 158 (if both sides want it) and anybody arguing otherwise is just showing their bias.

The belt only really means having to pay a sanctioning fee. Canelo will still be the lineal champ. Frankly, I doubt he wants to give away 3% of his money anyway.

His fans are not going to leave him because he doesn't fight GGG. rather, they will tell Canelo to do to GGG what ODH did to Bhop and Floyd did to Canelo.

Remember, he isn't saying he will not fight GGG, he is just setting the parameters for the fight. GGG can choose to say no.

If he does, how can you blame Canelo for ducking him?

I'm beginning to think GGG fans are incapable of intelligent thinking??? They don't even realize the're making Caribe Promotions look like geniuses promoting Rig. career when they talk about GGG's.
