Comments Thread For: Canelo Vacates WBC Title! Says Golovkin Talks Continue

Canelo is a bitch. Move down to 54 or up to 60, princess.

I bet GGG turned down the 65/35 in favor Canelo getting payed more, you just got to realize that's not in your favor.

GGG didn't turn down zip, the coward Canelo RAN, big difference. Do you think GGG would drop his belts rather than face a KO artist? Hell no, he would say lace them up, lets do this!

This has nothing to do with time and everything to do with weight. They got rid of GGG's tool to force the middleweight limit of 160.....

Fixed.....

No need to thank me !

This dude is a ***** for this. A duck is a duck. GGG got his ass shook!

Canelo doesn't need the WeBeCorrupt belt.

155 and 70/30. Take the deal Mr. 97K!

Come on man!

HBO never reported the number.

"Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez's spectacular one-punch, sixth-round knockout win over Amir Khan on Saturday night drew "around" 600,000 pay-per-view buys". - ESPN

The fight did $30 million in PPV sales and another $7.5 million at the gate. Not too bad.

HBO's replay of the fight on Saturday night averaged 767,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The replay spiked dramatically to a peak of 1.005 million -- a much higher than normal 31 percent increase from the average -- during the fifth round, just before the booming knockout.

But believe what you want.

First Sanders now his GB stablemate.

Damn very surprised @Canelo for giving the green belt freely to @GGGBoxing ... Well someone's gonna have to stop this madness

Props to Lemieux. He did not give it up without a fight. In fact he wanted that fight.

Nah, that is just fanboy wank to justify Golovkin being a paper champ who is not a man of his word.

What happened to all that " anyone from 154-168 " dribble ?

This is why Golovkin has a crap resume'.

According to Team Golovkin, Gennady could have fought Ward, Mora, Lara, Canelo, and Cotto..... but apparently he doesn't want to.

Come on man, you're either completely biased, or you can't appreciate the huge difference in circumstances.

He's completely biased AND he can't appreciate the huge difference in circumstances. Because he's an idiot.

Isn't Canelo much bigger than Mayweather and Pacquiao were at 25yo ?

And the red kid is going to get much bigger imo, he will be the next big star.

He has so many options, and could easily fight for another 10 years+.

It's easy to think that Canelo will be a huge star for years to come but in boxong that isn't always the case..
Prince naseem, riddick bowe, Donald curry, Wilfredo benetiz, Fernando Vargas, ricky hatton, Michael nunn, james toney, all looked to be long term stars and for whatever reason they all got derailed..
