Comments Thread For: Canelo Will Stand Firm on 9/17, No Concern Over Mayweather

[Hougigo]

I wouldn't be surprised if he fights Pac TBH

Canelo is fighting Berto in September, get your 69.99 ready

[The plunger man]

^^^ all that drivel, over Alvarez boiling down a single additional pound from the weight he's been comfortably fighting at over the last two years, lol. gtfoh

If he could have boiled down to 154lbs with his last 4 fights he would have so obviously there's a problem there and now he's lost all credibility by having to vacate his title and run for his life away from golovkin...basically he's a middleweight who is having cut drastic weight just to avoid his obligations as a middlweight ..the games up for him and he will be ridiculed as long as he avoids golovkin..no one likes a duck instead of an inbred like yourself ..now craw back down that hole where you normally live lol

Good idea !

Golovkin focusing on Canelo sure made people forget that he ducked Ward.

so you admit canelo is ducking ggg

Do you think it will be at 160?

Based on logic. And only one promoter requesting that date and location...

Sign me up! At least Canelo isn't going to be a 100-1 favorite like GGG just was against a bum on house arrest.

Kov came in at 186 in last fight, and when Ward was a 168 he said he walked around at 180. He was at last a few pounds bigger in last fight, if not more.

Ward hasn't made 168 since Nov. 2013, so he isn't a 168er. In fact, he completed in amatuers at LHW and has often talked about being able to compete at HW. So it's erroneous to claim he is a SMW. He's not.

FKN liar!

He usually used to fight at 176. 3 lbs more than GGG...

You're kidding, right? Golovkin has only had one PPV; against Lemieux, who already had shown signs of weakening. You think Mayweather or anyone (excepting Canelo) else broke records in their first PPV? Now if Canelo & Golovkin did sign a contract, that fight would do huge numbers in PPV & live gate buys, guaranteed. It would be right up there with Canelo vs Mayweather, but would be a much more satisfying fight.

The PPV did so **** that K2 felt it a better value to move things back to the static HBO TV number, rather than build their supposed star with the PPV audience. No one was expecting blockbuster numbers, but you bet on your talent.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, from about 2010 through just before the Mayweather fight, was groomed and consistently pushed by Golden Boy Promotions in as many ways as possible; by the time the Mayweather fight came about, it was time for Golden Boy to **** or get off the pot.

Mayweather PPV, Angulo PPV(so-so business), Lara PPV(so-so business), Kirkland step-back, Cotto PPV, Khan PPV, and the likely coming September PPV; not everyone is going to be a blockbuster, but that's how things go.

Golovkin had basically three years of TV build on HBO, had his first PPV, and the numbers were apparently so soft that K2 put the Wade fight on regular HBO, will likely put the rumored September fight on regular HBO, and will likely not even attempt another PPV on the alleged strength of Golovkin's name.

spin that however you want

Ward fought WAY better opponents then GGG before he retired. Retired for 3 years coming back and guess what??? Fighting a P4P TOP #3 fighter. GGG FKN hasnt fought ANYONE even ranked in the Top #50. Even having a 3 year head start. GGG is the new BUM Squad Killa. Wal-Mart workers and Taxi driver be scurred!!! Be VERY afraid because GGG is coming 4 U!!!
