Better not let it go to purse bid with the type of money Showtime is throwing around. If this fight goes to purse bid you can expect to see every promoter with a license in Mexico City.

I thought they just had to say if they were gonna fight gg in 15 days, not make an actual deal

Of course he's confident. Fight is already setup for Sept. 17. Shane Mosley broke the news days ago.

If this fight gets made, I really don't know why they were saying all that **** about letting it marinade and that it needed to be at 155. Just to watch the fans go crazy?

Trust, they'll just pay Golovkin another step-aside fee (a massive one this time) so that the fight can maaaarinate until May 2017. Or, they'll shock us all and we get the fight – legit with no CW. Would be a nice surprise, like when Mayweather–Alvarez was announced (albeit with the CW).

Shane Mosley already gave us the spoilers fight is on for 9/17

Well... former GBP partner, good friends with Hopkins, semi-good friends(?) with Oskie. Wouldn't be outlandish to suggest he's privy to a few juicy details.
