Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Reacts To Statements By Chavez Jr.

[-PBP-]

I'd love to see Chavez get beat down again then say he thought he won the fight.

I could be mistaken, but didn't Chavez Jr get offered like 5-7 million to fight Golovkin and declined, then fought Fonfara and got KO'ed...

Yea but if i recall correctly he was trying to get away from Arum at the time

GGG should take this fight, it'd lead to another ppv versus Zurdo and maybe even by that time Smith will be a ppv attraction in the United Kingdom, clear out super middle as he has middle, I very much doubt he beats the Callum Smith kid though.

I'm to the point where if Canelo refuses and is stripped, Golovkin should go ahead and make the move to 68. At least there he can entertain fights from bigger guys where we would see better competition for him, nobody at 160 can beat this guy so time to move up.

Chavez if he could make 68, and make the fight with GGG, might be a fun fight for fans. Not sure about PPV..

Chavez was outboxed by Brian Vera and Marcus Reyes, he'll get walked down by a the smaller Golovkin.

That said, I think Golovkin/Chavez sells more ppv's than Canelo/Khan.

Much better options than Chavez. I'd say, in order, Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs are top priority.

I'd rather see GGG vs Ward at 168. Granted that's even if Ward can even make 168 anymore.

He's at 175 and set to fight Kovalev.

Just another coward using Golovkings name to stay relevant

K2 keeps saying "if Canelo refuses, he's going to take a lot of heat." However, if GGG fights Chavez Jr. @ 168, but he said Ward @ 164, "he's going to take a lot of heat."

your obsession with that is kinda unhealthy. GGG offered the fight and ward didnt even try to negotiate. Move on

Yeah, He was offered a 2 fight deal to net $12 or 17 mil (depending on win / loss) apparently. Around the same time the Golovkin fight was being worked on reports surfaced in the Mexican press that he'd been offered a $35 mil multi-fight deal by Haymon. Not quite sure how that worked out for him.

And the only value to this fight is the joy to be had in watching Juniors fat ass get beat from pillar to post ... again. If I were GGG I'd take it in a heartbeat, regardless of the fact that no-one takes Burger Boy seriously anymore.
