Comments Thread For: Roach Backs Canelo: Golovkin The Best, But Brings NO Money!

[ussy]

This **** has killed the sport and it's the reason why we very rarely see top class prime fighters fight each other anymore.

[QballLobo]

Roach is right. Canelo has fought smaller names like Trout and Lara but those guys knew their position in the game and got paid accordingly so it made sense.
GGG wants star treatment but doesn't want to earn it. Canelo can make just as much $$$ fighting bum ass Margacheato than a GGG fight would make him right now. GGG is a better fighter but he is not a PPV draw although he wants to be paid like one.
Go take some risky fights like Canelo has and build up your rep and then you can make demands. As it stands right now 155 and an 80/20 PPV split would be a generous offer for GGG. He is no longer the mandatory and has no other leverage other than bowing down to Canelo's terms.

The belief that Golovkin is a star is crazy. I've never met a Golovkin fan.

Well that's Qed. Should ask some Brit posters if they ever met a Canelo fan, or Mexicans about Anthony Joshua.

He's a star since he sells out arenas on both coasts dummy, gets excellent ratings, and is the most talked about boxer nowadays, see this forum, butthurt cretin

[Raonic]

Even if that's true, how does that justify dropping the title?

[aboutfkntime]

That's cute little story but I dont see how you narrative fits with the fact that Ward was offered a 50-50 purse split. You certainly dont offer an even split and claim a fight doesnt make "financial sense".

And with Lara, notice the difference between the two. Golovkin didnt have to drop a belt, I mean, THE belt, to avoid a fight with Lara. Alvarez had to vacate the title to avoid Golovkin.

Do you see the differences now?

No, I don't LMAO


Golovkin-Ward: Promoter Doesn't See Financial Sense.....

Trust me, Ward vs. Lil G is a much better/bigger fight if you actually enjoy boxing and aren't a Golovtard. How you can give Lil G a pass for the BS catchweight he threw at Ward after calling anyone from 154-168lbs I'll never understand... The guy is no different than Canelo both are business men first if you going to criticized one guy and not the other just shows how ignorant you truly are

GREAT post !


Only the two-faced fanboy's see those situations as different.


They be in love

If Canelo loses it'll damage future earnings.

If Mayweather-Pacquiao fought straight away whoever lost wouldn't have been selling 1 mil PPVs against Mosley. They made more money dragging it out than they would have fighting straight away.

I agree but why not fight now and the loser can earn a rematch down the road? Especially if it is a competitive fight. I would have loved to see Floyd PAC 3 years ago and a rematch later down the road

Its sad that the concept of "critical thinking" is lost on so many people here. First off, there never was a 164 offer sent to Ward. It was simply a comment made from Loeffler to Dan Rafael, and you idiots ran wild with it. It was never a serious offer.

And the fact that you believe that a trainer saying he thinks his guy could beat anyone from 154-168 (which myself and many other agree with) somehow magically means every single fight from 154-168 is somehow makeable, and that GGG should concede every negotiating point to the opponent no matter the economics involved, clearly illustrates that you really shouldnt be talking about topics like this. Its obviously outside your grasp.......

Cool attempt to re-write history..... but nah, that's rubbish !!

Also.....


Ward and Golovkin have been in negotiations to set up a fight. However, negotiations haven’t been going smoothly thus far, with Golovkin’s team requesting a 164 lb. catch-weight.....

..... From what it looks like, Golovkin and his team are preventing this fight from happening. Golovkin offered to fight the now retired Carl Froch at the super-middleweight limit of 168 lbs., as well as former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but wants a catch-weight for Andre Ward?

“Ward wants to fight Golovkin, and he wants to fight next, but it won’t happen at 164-pounds. By accepting 168 with Carl Froch and Chavez Jr., but then demanding 164 with Ward – it’s their way of saying, ‘we don’t want to fight Andre Ward,” the source revealed to Boxing Scene.....

It's nt just me, he's lampooned by fellow fighters, trainers, etc. Mexican fans don't like duckers either. "Mexicans don't fcuk around" as Canelo said high on adrenaline

90% of those people are ALSO saying that Golovkin hasn't fought anyone, and that he ducked Andre Ward


Just saying.....

[aboutfkntime]

GGG : sorry Andre, you're not a draw

golovtards: exactly !

GGG : sorry Erislandy, you're not a draw

golovtards: exactly !

Canelo : sorry Gennady, you're not a draw

golovtards: coward! ducker!

most accurate post in this thread, props to whoever wrote it
