Arum on Ramirez vs Golovkin: "We're building to that fight after GGG knocks out..."

[Irony123]

I'm just pointing out the fault in your way of thinking. If fighters only looked up, there would be no fights between fighters that are looking to move up

what he is saying is that the fighter aspiring to make the fight should be looking up not down. like GGG should aspire to fight Ward when he was 168 (not the other way around) and Ward should aspire to fight Kovalev etc. well at least i think that's what he means.

[SUBZER0ED]

I know, so why look to fight a 160 fighter??? look up to 175 if you want to fight someone from another division.hell call out the winner of Ward-Kovalev or Stevenson

Too big of a jump in weight at one time.

If they would have priced it for 30 or 40 bucks. You get potentially a lot more sales. I wish they would do that.

I like Crawford and Postal, but unless there is a fantastic undercard, which Bob is not known for, well...

I thought one he won the election he was retired? That's what Arum is saying.

I don't think Manny is truly retired anymore than I thought Floyd was. Hell, Manny was rarely in Congress and missed more votes than any other congressperson and he still wn the election. LOL.

Manny has too much value to retire IMO.

Arum wants him to retire now as he took a bath financially after Manny's last fight LOL

Yes he took a bath but Arum needs Manny to recoup what he lost. Putting him in with Floyd or Canelo does that. If TC beats him thats in house money and it raises TC's profile.

I think he is Looking at Zurdo and Crawford to build now. Start over fresh.

[NEETzsche]

he'll have to beat someone better than dominik britsch(!) in the meantime if he wants to make moving up worth golovkin's while

SMW has no real advantages over MW right now, especially on the HBO side of the fence

[Mr.Fantastic]

My only concern is that they might try to force Zurdo to go down in weight. That wouldn't be a good look.

It would be a ***** move by GGG if he does. I don't think GGG is fighting him till he collects all the belts at 160.

[CaneloMaidana]

But then why would Ward or Kovalev look down instead of up? There are good cruiserweights to fight

Ward has said he'll go to cruiserweight one day.
