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 stupid 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.
