On Tuesday, Tom Loeffler came to @GoldenBoyBoxing's offices and we agreed that the mega fight between @canelo and GGG would occur next fall

I call bullsh.t! Why wait until the fall of 2017? This is more BS from GoldenBoy in the vein of "Alvarez can't fight Manny Pacquio becuause Pacquaio has a fight scheduled against Broner, so we have to fight Liam Smith instead." Oscar is trying to con the same gullible fans that Arum conned by telling them for five years that Pacquaio was going to fight Mayweather in his next fight!

They didn't sign a contract, so all they have is the same thing that they had before he fought Khan -- an agreement to eventually pit their fighters against each other. This fight will probably take place in 2019 after both have lost a few times and are trying to become relevant again (ala Roy Jones vs Bernard Hopkins).

Verbal agreement for Fall 2017. At least I don't have to watch either of them until then.

You won't be watching them fight each other in the fall of 2017 either!

lol @ verbal agreement for a fight 15 months from now.

plenty of time to reneg on their meaningless verbal agreement

who cares

Translation, let's say something now to try to save face and we'll figure what to say next year.

You hit the nail on the head. In 2017, Oscar will have more excuses. In fact, he will makes excuses until the day after Alvarez gets KTFO by someone. Then, he will suddenly be anxious to make a fight with Golovkin.

More bs from Team BS

They are simply attempting to salvage something from the wreck that is brand Canelo by mentioning GGG's name

Why did lil g team agreed with this?

What else can they do? Get him stripped? Done that. Force him to fight at gunpoint?
