You obviously have no idea how the IBF operates. You do not get to pick and choose your mandatory challengers, or when you are going to make your defenses.

You really should educate yourself, as it would make it less likely that you embarrass yourself with ignorant posts like this.....

The truth hurts. The IBF is strict but not that strict, I know they stripped Fury , but it would be best for GGG to fight a high profile fight to build up the Canelo fight in Sept. , that's the "big show" . They could have tried to reschedule the Tureano or Wade fight.

Lil g doesnt want the canelo fight... He wont even agree to 158 and he has no leverage...

154 for floyd but not 155 for the young bull... You can act blind if you want but even lil g wont take the risk of going to 158 cause canelo is just a much better fighter

And a few days ago they offered Kell Brook a 157 catchweight.

It's pretty obvious what's up.

GGG is pissing away whatever primed years he has left chasing an accomplishment that doesn't mean ****. I originally thought the "unification" nonsense was just an excuse not to fight Ward. And to some extent, I still think it is. But now I'm starting to think that he's just being given bad advice. If he thinx having all the belts is gonna force people to fight him. Which a lotta his fans seem to believe. He's outta his f.uck'n mind. Say the Canelo fight isn't made and Ginger is stripped. And then GGG beats Saunders and has all the belts. Guess what, Canelo is still the prime target of everyone at or around the middleweight division because he will STILL offer the biggest payday. And guys still aren't gonna wanna fight GGG for fear of losing and missing out on a Canelo payday. Same way guys didn't wanna fight each other for fear of missing out on Floyd or Pac.

This is true ^^

Anyone in their right mind, especially those asshat's who manage Golovkin, can surely see that he has to beat Canelo.

They say Canelo has to leverage, but yea.....

The paydays is what he means really.

Dang!!! It's actually nice reading good posts where ppl actually know their boxing sht! You are 1,000% right.

He's getting TERRIBLE advice and on top of that he's getting RIPPED of worse than Pac ever did by Bob Arum. He's selling the place out and he's getting jack SQUAT! Al Haymons boys are making 3x more per fight then he is.

GGG sells out arena's and has usually over 1 million viewers and most of his fights he doesn't even make $1 million???

Who's keeping all THAT money???

He sells out arenas, but his ticket prices are relatively cheap compared to actual stars in the sport. For example, he sold out MSG for the Lemieux fight. But his ticket were very comparable, maybe even a lil cheaper for the ticket prices I paid to see Wilder-Molina in AL. And were cheaper than the tix at Broner's last fight in Cincinnati, which I attended. And considering that people in NYC make a helluva lot more money that people in AL and OH. And it makes the feat a lil less impressive.Compare that to having to pay $200-$300+ for decent seats to see guys like Cotto and Canelo. And its more than that when they fight in casinos. It shows he's not the draw his fans think he is.

I think Team GGG is using the Marvin Hagler/Bernard Hopkins approach of waiting for stars from lower divisions to come to them. But, I don't think they're seeing the big picture. Hagler had multiple stars in Leonard, Duran, and Hearns. Hopkins had DLH and Tito. GGG has Canelo. Maybe he was hoping that a Floyd fight might eventually happen. But that was a pipedream. So even if he does get Canelo, what's next?

Thanks and makes sense! But I still think his ppl are making 70%++ more then he his per fight. I only see the casino side of fights and yes they are expensive but usually im comped or discounted by friend flying in and staying at said hotel. But I also respect the sport and will pay top $$$$ for real fights. Not no wade/ggg or ggg/Pepe lemuix. . I'm still pissed at when I was visiting in KC I wanted see Gamboa/Crawford instead we they all voted see Royals... I was doing willing to drive to NE for that.
