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

[Bronx2245]

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

September 16, 2016:

"Little G' turned down an official fight with us," Ward told the reporter. "The reality is for all the talk ... the proof is in the pudding. I have an email right now that shows we gave them what they want ... 50/50 ... and the man -- the promoter --turned it down, said maybe 2017."

Quickly after the video was posted, Golovkin's Los Angeles-based promoter Tom Loeffler called The Times to refute that version of events, stressing he wanted to clarify the "context" of his rejection.

Loeffler said the email from an official of Ward’s promoter, Roc Nation Sports, extends a 50/50 purse-split offer to fight in 2016 after each fighter took one fight earlier in the year.

"It would’ve been a bad deal to take," Loeffler said...

"If you don’t want to fight a fighter, think it’s not your style, just say that," Ward said on the video. "The truth is, they never wanted the fight. The reality is we offered him a fight six, seven months ago, before we knew he had a pay-per-view coming up ... 50%. He turned it down in five minutes. The short and long of it is they never wanted the fight."

Good luck with Chavez Jr. @ 164...I mean 168!

I see the same....the chavez jr fight lost all credibility when Fonfara stopped him...now he is a piece of trash not worth the effort.

Maybe, just maybe, if Chavez Jr comes back with a pair of good wins, that fight would make sense...

Why no catch-weight for Chavez Jr.?

It was originally setup for him to make around $5 million. And he agreed to GGG. $1mill per /lb penalty that was asked much later after they agreed. And he would of been a Free agent. Then Bob did his normal extension BS. And said take the extension and $7 with Rematch $5 million. Or fight for $2 million and a huge hit to PPV money he usually got. He bet on himself and LOST! If he wasn't so damn lazy this would of been a good move... Al was in his ear offering him huge cash. But the dumbfk is too ******. ****** and lazy not a good combination.

His stock took a big hit. Lost to Vera, KO'ed by Fonfara, barely beat Marcos Reyes despite a considerable weight advantage. I bet $7 million is looking like a greasy burger right about now.

hahaha ward wasnt even fighting six seven months ago when he said that. Wasn't goosen still alive and fighting him in court in that time?
you must of forgot about this lil treasure http://www.boxingscene.com/golovkin-...ing-sht--92369
but wards response was pretty clever he said........oh wait he didnt say anything cause GGG verbally ***** slapped his ass with facts. Bu but ward sent an e-mail wen tha ggg-lemiuex fight was dun doe.

[NapalmKnuckles]

the only positive about this fight is that we'll finally see GGG against someone who won't fold like a wet cardboard box when they get hit by him. But skill wise there's no way Chavez wins unless he lands a big shot, which considering the weight difference is always a possibility. I know Canelo and Oscar are praying hard that GGG moves up to 68 same way GGG and Loeffler were praying Ward moved up to 75.

Ward did have promotional issues, but if you read the article, this was an offer when Ward was with Roc Nation, 50/50, and K2 rejected it because they wanted to fight Lemiuex, which led to the Cotto vs. Canelo winner. Smart move from a "business man." I'm not mad at him, but he "rejected" a 50/50 offer from Roc Nation. Fighting Chavez Jr. @ 168 is another good "business" move! Why no catch-weight (164) for Chavez Jr.???

F*** it let them fight Chavez can take shots has a good chin ggg needs an opponent who will throw with him and can take a shot..... GGG has the edge Chavez back at MW does have power....

When he was with roc nation? So his first fight after a long layoff would have been Golovkin? haha if so then its laughable for him to think he had any leverage on golovking to be making a fight on his own terms. mr. i need 3 tune ups to get ready. Yeah it is a smart move he's making money selling out arena's and staying active while ward cant even make 168 and is now gonna get his ass kicked by kovalev. Stay salty

"I think with Chavez it would be an interesting match-up
because Chavez being as big as he is... -Tom Loeffler"

I stopped reading at that point. lil g is afraid of skills not size.
