Comments Thread For: Canelo Still Firm on 155-Pounds For Golovkin Showdown

[doninlouisiana]

If Canelo wants to come into the fight at 155 then that is his prerogative but Golovkin is under no obligation to fight at that weight as long as he comes in UNDER the 160 lb limit. Canelo can NOT dictate that in a WBC Title Fight PERIOD! (And he knows that)

It may not have made him a superstar. But, win or lose, he would have a successful PPV (300K+) on his resume to take to the negotiating table against Canelo. As it stands now, he has nothing but 97K computer geeks that get off watching him beat up, B and C level paper titlist. As it stands right now, its a 90:10 split on money, and it will be fought at 155. GGG might get a 20% split. But this thing WILL happen at 155 or no fight.

It's not 90/10, moron. The same guy that claims 97k says Canelo did 600k vs freaking Cotto. Ggg does at 500k vs Cotto probably

[Fetta]

haha thats funny.

Wards last fight did like 300k on FREE tv, and they had to paper 75% of the tickets just to make it look decent on tv. 98% of casual boxing fans couldnt pick Ward out of a lineup.

Superstardom?? lol okayyyyyyyy..............

Read this already so no need to repost but i see you corrected the 30K thing.

Numbers arent your strong suit are they

Hopkins came down 3 for Oscar.

Yes but was Oscar as heavy as Canelo is?

[elgu]

Diva. He cried and pulled out of the 1st Cotto negotiations because he didn't like Cotto giving it to him in the negotiation table.

Now he goes ahead and does the same thing.

Boxing needs to be run like other sports where the best fight the best.

I remember seen The video of them sparing but I cant find it anymore, does anybody have it or find it???

No one kept up with the video because Golovkin was a fcking nobody

Jus another can trying to get some work from the great Saul Alvarez

Years later he's still a fckin can trying to get work from the great Saul Alvarez lol

No you are the only idiot that needed there to be a mandatory to understand both ducked each other. There was no mandatory because they didn't want to lose Floyd or Manny as their champion not the other way around. Only fact is you are an idiot and don't understand how boxing works. Both Floyd and Manny were the 2 best fighters in the world and you think it was an accident they were never officially mandatory? It was out of design because everyone knew they were not fighting and if and when they were it was on their terms not any belt organizations terms. Keep thinking GGG has power because wbc and watch them continue to do nothing.

All of that is true, but completely irrelevant to the point I was making about Canelo suffering a backlash from the fans if he blatently ducks GGG.

Because Golovkin being made his mandatory, and holding the interim WBC belt, means that Canelo IS on the spot now.

Which is a lot better than 155. Who the fcuk imposes max cws like this? And

1. Gimme some examples of champs demanding cws vs mando
2. How about lineal champs demanding CW vs divisional rivals, other than paper champ Cotto
3. How about champs demanding cws (never mind max) when they outweigh the other guy fight night lol

Relax. It's a starting point for negotiations.

[crex.af]

pretty much the entire mw division with the exception of maybe 2-3 fighters.

An yet each of these guy would probably maul you into that s*it you are so that makes you less than a bum.

I swear, and don't get me wrong I like both Canelo and GGG, I never understood how you can be an actual fan of boxing and have the audacity to call a professional fighter a bum because you sit behind your computer with lots of BS Bank Points! WTF?! Why are you even here? This is a boxing fan site which obviously you are not.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Canelo isn't fighting GGG, we all know it

We all know Canelo and De La Hoya are out in force laying ground work to sabotage a potential fight.

They are scared, it's simple as that.

Lets see if lil g is brave and takes the fight, my money is on the coward turning the his career biggest fight and payday. cowards in boxing i tell ya.

I know, you have this coward Canelo afraid to move up to 160. Can't make 155. Is 160 champ.

It doesn't get more cowardly than that.cane
