Do you see Golovkin vs Mayweather EVER happening?

[icha]

Terrible argument. Is every guy that Floyd faced a PPV fighter on their own? GGG at least arguably is. Was Baldomir? Berto? Guerrero?

but floyd is retired now, if he is coming back from retirement at 40yo to fight at a 20lbs disadvantage it will be for big bucks, not for 97k or baldomir o guerreros...

TMT and GGG team in negotiations right now.

I can understand Floyd not taking the fight for age and weight reasons, but you're very mistaken if you think GGG isn't a draw in the fight. There's nobody other than Pacman who would sell a Mayweather fight to that level.

Reading through this thread, one of the recurring themes is "having to listen to 'fans' not giving the fighter credit" and still whining and making excuses.

Says a lot about today's Boxing.

I've always said the fans are the biggest reason for the negative change in boxing.

You ain't lying. Fanatical support or hatred is what moves boxing, not necessarily boxing itself.

ggg isnt big on the casuals, after his failed attempt to fight on ppv he had to go back to network fighter for a reason... maybe if he fights and beats canelo then he should become a ppv fighter, but until then a combination of those 3 reasons i gave you, will not let the fight happen...

[KLockard23]

Part of me actually can. But only after GGG at least defeats Canelo in the Fall or something. Beating boxing's #1 attraction would rub off on GGG and make him more of a star, and that could make a fight with Floyd more attractive.

From a casual fan point of view, let's not pretend like GGG wouldn't be a huge opponent for Floyd. If Mayweather chose to fight him, casuals will immediately be educated on who he was just from watching the All Access episodes and they'd see that he's undefeated, see that he's knocked out nearly every opponent he's been in the ring with, see that he's never been knocked down, see the so-called "drastic" weight differences, possibly see his very prolific amateur record, etc. In their minds, that would build him up as some kind of monster that could potentially knock out the older Floyd. Casuals wouldn't care about the quality of opponents that he's defeated (although beating Canelo before fighting Floyd would certainly do nothing but help matters), that's usually the type of stuff only hardcore fans analyze about. So yeah, I think that'd be a big fight that could easily do over 1 million buys.

That's not really an achievement.

That's become the norm when Floyd fights

About as likely as Rigondeaux making Jim Lampley's Gatti list

[MDPopescu]

Meh at this point its High risk, VERY HIGH reward. Particularly if it's for the lineal title at 160

1) right (the fight would be about really big money for sure)...
2) the lineal title at 160 is still with Canelo and it's likely that it will stay with him.
