    And that didn't benefit anyone but themselves. It didn't benefit the sport while they marinated and delayed a fight long past it's sell by date. It was the most blatant and transparent cash grab in recent memory.

        He already said he Canelo should wait until GGG gets old or starts slowing down. The video is out there. Coward mentality.

          Damn even Garcia is selling out saying to hold off a great fight in the name of money. What has happened to boxing? Using Floyd/Manny is a horrible example, any fan knows what we saw in the ring last May was nothing compared to the fight we should have got years ago.

          Only in boxing do the fans lose like this.

              So effing true! I categorically agree with you. My biggest fear is coming true. Floyd ducking Manny for 5 years and waiting till the offensive minded, pressure fighter aged and got knocked out so that he would be lesser of a threat and all parties involved making a boatload of money is causing others to follow suit and put money above legacy and the fans who make these a$$holes rich!

                I'd prefer to do it now so when Canelo wins people can't use the excuse that GGG had aged one too many years. Lets just get it over with now.

                  Ridiculous!! This is why Boxing isn't even really considered a Sport. All this pro longing **** is corny. Imagine a dream match up in the nba finals and one team is like, nah, we play them next year. Even the UFC is looking better than Boxing. They struck when Aldo-McGregor was hot and didn't wait 5 yrs to do it. And now Conor wants to go up 10 pounds and challenge for the Lightweight title. While Canelo contemplating fighting GGG who weighs only 4 pounds heavier. Lol He would make like 10x more too than McGregor but sheesh..... 2017???

                    Has he mentioned a specific figure yet?

                    The fight will be hard to make because of the HBO/Showtime crap anyway.
