At least he didn't lie here. He said he wanted to put into context why they rejected the offer (which was 50/50). I'm not mad at them for rejecting a 50/50 fight with Ward, to pursue a fight with Cotto or Canelo. That's business! I'm just tired of this "I'm fighter, not business man" bull****! GGG is "business man" just like 99% of fighters and promoters. I just want his fans to recognize that "they rejected a 50/50 offer" to fight Ward. I understand their reasoning, because Cotto and Canelo are bigger PPV draws. The other point of note is "Why no catch-weight for Chavez Jr.?"

Eh, I dunno how much stock to put into this quote. I generally like Loeffler and find him real and believable (unlike Sanchez). But this goes against what Golovkin himself has said about Chavez:
Source: BLH#3 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: "Not interest now because he's a lot of talk. He has big mouth. 172, 160, 165, 168, 175, like, he's not real. Not now. ... He's not serious. Not right now, no."
Personally, I think this was just Loeffler being politically correct - saying they're open to the fight, not outright turning it down.Comment

We knew that right off the bat when they CHOSE to fight Wade instead of Saunders for a BELT. They always say it's about the BELT and $2.5 million more wasn't worth it I guess? They still would of made $$$$$ paying Saunders $4 million. Or meet in the middle. Their "Life Changing Offer" was $1.5 (Why did they let the rumors spread to $6 million?? Is beyond me, when I heard that I called Saunders a HUGE ducker) and Saunder said he would of fought in the STATES for $4 million. So meet in the middle at $2.75 million... But don't say you just want a belt and then action and $$$$ says other wise.At least he didn't lie here. He said he wanted to put into context why they rejected the offer (which was 50/50).

I was at the Garden for the Lemieux fight. Although I'd rather see Canelo next, Id be happy to go see Golovkin-Jacobs. Kudos to the WBA for ordering this fight.Comment
