Should GGG start looking for other options/networks?

    I expect Canelo to fight Golovkin to be honest. I think it happens this year.
    Ok man. Keep hope alive.

      The networks is not the problem. GGG has terrible promoters/management. Do you think if GGG was signed to Top Rank, Golden Boy or Haymon that he would not have 1 big fight by now? Let's be real. K2 is over their heads and tried to dictate terms against big named fighters and it blew up in their face. This doesn't happen if he was with Haymon, Golden Boy or Top Rank.

        Anyone know when his deal with HBO is over?

        I can't imagine K2 doesn't consider other options with Canelo very likely not being doable if it doesn't get made now.

        The problem is always gonna be how much is GGG worth when he can't get those key wins over notable guys when notable guys won't fight him cuz he's not worth as much money as the risk he brings to them. Its a catch 22 for potential opponents thus maxing him out at $2M per fight right now when he probably would be making $5M-$10M per fight if he'd fought half the guys who've avoided him so far. I mean just throw Sergio & Miguel on his resume & he's worth $5M+ per fight for sure & I doubt many would suggest he doesn't beat both those guys.

          There was a thread about this recently (last month or this month i believe). IIRC, it was said that GGG fulfilled his HBO obligations. I think Team GGG should see if PBC can get Jacobs and Saunders in the ring. GGG can always come back to HBO and if he goes undefeated in PBC, his star-power will have increased.
