Should GGG start looking for other options/networks?

[about.thousands]

Now that everyone accepts the fact that boxing is a business, should GGG start looking to do what's best for him financially? HBO hasn't been able to deliver him Cotto or Canelo while he was the WBC mandatory. He stepped aside for HBO and allowed them to make good money on Canelo and Cotto's fights. He's done everything asked of him. Has played the smiling good guy role. Hasn't trashed their star fighter, and what does he end up with? A vacated belt and missed out on the biggest payday of his career.

Or he could go to PBC/Showtime. Networks who are committed to investing in boxing. That would make the Jacobs fight easier to make. Eubank just signed with Matchroom again and Haymon and Hearn have a good working relationship. When he decides to move up he can fight Jack or DeGale. There are a lot more options for him on the other side. He can't stay on HBO fighting the Wade's and Monroe's of the world. And if the WBA does call for that fight against Jacobs that fight is going to purse bid. Jacobs is a PBC asset just like GGG is an HBO asset. It would be foolish to think Haymon should let Jacobs fight on HBO just like it'll be foolish to think HBO will allow GGG to fight on PBC. If they lose that purse bid and GGG has to drop the belt.

What do you think?

Well he has always been looking for the best financial fights for himself.

I kinda feel sorry for him doe, networks would have to pay people like Saunders and Jacobs major money for them to put their belts on the line now, that's if they want to collect all the belts at 160 like Team GGG claimed.

Little Gina is very adept at finding bums to fight. Gina can stay with HBO and track down bums to fight. Her fans enjoy seeing bum fights.

And the network he's currently with isn't willing to do that. That's the problem. He's sorta peaked. That Canelo fight was the fight to put him over the top and they didn't deliver it to him.

Bad management. lil g need some one to teach him the culture of boxing politics. He's too naive about how his own management has wasted his career. lil g needs a clean break.

Well they too should put their money where their mouth is then, at the end of the day it's all about business and if his numbers were amazing then HBO would pay his other title rivals the going rate. People fight Mayweather because he brings a payday, it's straight up business! And if GGG brings a great payday they would take the fight without blinking.

But they have to offer more than this. This is not a serious offer

Now HBO has the power to make Cotto or Canelo fight GGG ha?
When did that happen?
Fking showtime/Haymon has had almost all the main fighters in multiple divisions for years and we've hardly seen any of them fight each other yet.

Going to showtime and getting 1/3 of the viewers he gets on HBO is not gonna help him one bit. How about you get on these punk fighters who don't wanna get in the ring with him. Jacobs is up next in line, let's see what e cause he has. Oh yeah he has a scheduled July 30th fight against TBA he has to make first lol...
