Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Wade: 30 Days For Unfamilar Bedfellows To Agree

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Hopefully this goes to purse bid. I'd love to see if Golovkin fights for the biggest available paycheck or if he vacates the belt like the coward that he is.

Floyd is that you? Andre Spells is last name like this "Ward." Take some of those millions and get yourself someone to teach you to read and write. So this doesn't happen again.

By the way, the only coward is Ward and Lara, who always speak up after GGG has obligations to fulfill.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

If k2 is trying to match up GGG with a haymon fighter they are clearly duckin Lara. GGG vs Lara would be the best available fight right now for both fighters. They can and should make it happen

Lara, we waited unti GGG was forced to fight Wade to speak up.

Sooooo, if he's gonna fight a Haymon fighter, why not fight Lara or Degale???

They will attempt to negotiate in good faith, they have too. It's not like they can say no.

Say goodbye to IBF belt for lil g it's going to purse bid

I'd love for Haymon to bid some obscene amount of money to pull the fight away from HBO and for HBO to call his bluff and go, "OK, fine, fight one fight on NBC then ..."

Haymon would probably end up shelling out $4 million-plus (including full payment of Golovkin's 70% share of the total purse) for a **** fight which would likely end with his own guy being carried out on a stretcher

That'd be the last time you'd see any bluff purse bids made in bad faith, with the sole intention of getting the rightful champion stripped.

HBO wouldn't force GGG to vacate the title, they'd either pay more or allow him to go fight on showtime or whatever.

GGG vs Lara PPV would sell

Because Lara fights have done huge numbers.

man they better hope haymon doesnt hard ball them lol GGG will be stripped..but its all hsi fault..u should not sign your life over to hbo at this point..that is a pure duck to do so..they only have minimal fights for you compared to pbc imo

Purse bid wouldn't garentee he lose the title.

bru i dont know if u've noticed but canelo/golden body has not intentions to fight him..the wbc is very small fish to canelo..cotto will get another shot before ggg that is just the truth bru..ggg is wasting his career on canelo when he could be bigger than danny garcia for the PBC..if ggg could bring in 2.5 his star power would raise up heavy.

GGG does great numbers on HBO. PBC had the fight on free television, of course it was gonna do well.

"UNFAMILIAR" sums up GGG's resume in one word.

"Suitable" for Team GGG =
Make sure it's a BUM who we're 100% positive GGG can beat. Then make a BOLD statement in the post fight speech ,(statements we'll never back up) and keep things moving. That's the formula.

They should give him a good faith chance to fulfill his mando, and if not, get him stripped and move on. But I don't see why he'd leave Americas #1 boxing network that's been so good to him for smaller paydays on a less prestigious platform that probably doesn't last long. That'd be dumb

LOL, he's tried to fight everyone who will fight him. Billy Joe Saunders, who just beat Andy Lee. No go there.

Canelo is stuck at Canelo weight. He doesn't seem to eager to fight.

Lara, Is a pretty boring fighter to say the least. Also an AL Haymon fighter

Ward moved up to light heavyweight.

Jacobs is an Al Haymon fighter, so there are some issues there.. Are you new to boxing?

[Bronx2245]

18 fights??? Seriously??? He's the mando with 18 ****ing fights???

Ranked number 11 in MW division, he beat Sam Soliman by a close decision.

Lara is the better fight to make and GGG team should chase him up to get that one, Wade can wait til after September.

Lara's the better fight (so is Korobov & Johnson for that matter), but Wade is the priority. The IBF won't grant any exceptions for Golovkin to fight anyone else at this point other than an eliminator - as Hopkins was saved by fighting Kovalev when Haymon nearly stripped him using Thomas Williams for his mandatory. I think Hopkins was less than 2 weeks away from being stripped when he agreed to face Kovalev. So Golovkin's only options are Wade or Saunders, and Golovkin was just in London looking at the new football stadium.

In fact I'm wondering if the challenger can request an immediate purse bid as Haymon did for Beterbiev/Barrera?

He hasn't fought a 12 rounder yet. Barely graduated from 6 rounders.
