Lol 1hourrun is the man.

Respek....

who gives a fk what belt is on the line. i just wanna see em fight.. 155 or 160 make it happen. why are ppl overreacting.

I'm with you however vacating the belt is a strong indication of intent of the fight not happening

[OnePunch]

The Cotto/Smith/Brook fights are potentially big money fights, and so are Jacobs/Saunders/Eubank..... Canelo will make far more than Golovkin, no matter who he fights.

If money is the issue, then what other lucrative options does GGG have ?

Nobody would pay Golovkin even half-as-much as Canelo.

You can't use money/options as an excuse.

If Golovkin has been willing to fight Ward, then he would have as many options as Canelo..... but he wasn't willing to fight Ward.

hey ****** even if K2 HAD accepted that ridiculous offer from Ward, the fight STILL wouldnt have happened yet.

In case you didnt know, Ward hasnt finished his "Tune-up Tour 2015-2016" just yet.

Yea, that's because they know that Canelo is not a liar, and that he has a very good resume..... whereas Golovkin is a liar, and he doesn't have a very good resume'.

Canelo will sell 500k+ next time..... GGG will likely never be on PPV again.

"Im ready to fight him right now!!!"

"Im fine with 160"

[KaL-EL]

not a good look on Canelo. Now he has more pull to ask for a 155lbs catchweight

[twrx]

Just seems like a power play now he can avoid pursebid rules. He can choose the date, venue, pay split and catch weight. Its a bold move but ggg could easily now challenge bjs for all the belts and have even more leverage over canelo

[OnePunch]

FACT: According to Team Golovkin, Gennady could have fought Canelo/Cotto, but he chose not to.

now this is getting silly. There was NEVER an offer on the table from Cotto or Canelo for a fight. NEVER.

Prove there was actually an offer, or admit you are a complete buffoon.

Actually, never mind, we already know......

[Zaroku]

The money. Always follow the money. ggg is gonna give up much money. The WBC will know not to push the big draw again. Lots of learning going on.

I hope Canelo just vacated the belt so that the purse split cannot be dictated at 55/45 as mandated. We'll see but Canelo's history shows that he is full of it.
