GGG-Canelo: Oscar confirms verbal agreement reached for Fall 2017

[Tom Cruise]

Thank **** for Ward and Kovalev.

I was already losing interest as it was, now we gotta wait until late 2017. Gay.

And people wonder why no one gives a crap about boxing in the US anymore.

Over a year away lol

Great stuff Canelo.

GGG needs to hold K2/Loeffler to account imo. Theyve been bullied all over the place by Golden Boy and Canelo.

Boxing careers are too short to show this much loyalty to a company that cant get you the big bucks. Just join GBP or summat and get the fight done. Fighting and beating Canelo puts GGG in a whole different level of marketing potential. Not like K2 hold a lot of cards anyway

I agree to an extent. Whenever Loeffler is talking about Canelo/Golden Boy, he's always very complimentary and is saying "of course we'll wait.. we understand.. we'll do anything to get the Canelo fight". They come off as wussies.
I don't think Loeffler needs to be an ass like some people, but he takes the nice guy/political correctness a little too far.

If GGG fighting Eubank Jr rumours are true then not really that's a hard fight, I sure do hope Canelo plans on fighting at a higher weight cap than 155.
He could easily make 160 but If need be 157/158 in September then 160lbs in May.

Eubank Jr is not a hard fight. The guy is a freaking prospect still, his only fight above domestic level he lost.

I can't believe Oscar let things play out this way... it's been soooo bad looking. Talked all that big boy shyt just to lie about making the fight and dropping belt..just to agree to fight fcking next fall??????????????

Canelo needs x3 tune ups I guess

AKA the Ward excuse, an active fighter who is more than big enough for 160 needs tune up fights...

[Rip Chudd]

If GGG fights Jacobs or BJS i'll watch. Other then that I don't see any fights either of these guys can take that'll be interesting. You just know Canelo isn't gonna fight anyone who poses a threat. He'll try to drag up Tim Bradley or Brandon Rios or someone

[El-blanco]

Meaningless words. There is nothing binding. Boxing is hands down the worst sport. I have no idea how it attracts new fans.

Eubank Jr is not a hard fight. The guy is a freaking prospect still, his only fight above domestic level he lost.

And this is what is wrong with boxing, boxing fans accept boxers fighting 20-30 bunch of nobodies and when they get a chance to step up
"Oooh its too soon"
"He isn't ready"
Give props to UFC fans they never make excuses like this, you're either good enough or you're not, It doesn't take a bunch of nothing fights to get you ready for the big time you're either of that caliber or you're not.

You would never see the UFC champion or top guy being allowed to have 3 bum fights, Eubank Jr is clearly a very talented fighter and you don't know much about him.

Martin Murray took a lot of **** from people for supposedly stalling his fight with GGG, but when he realised his promotional team werent going to make the fight (or didnt have the power to) he switched to a promoter that could. He got paid. Easy. Then when it became clear the promoter he switched too wasnt going to carry him forward in the future, he switched to matchroom. Now hes probably getting paid decent money to fight groves as the AJ main undercard fight.

Maybe GGG is tied into a long term contract with K2 I dunno. But if he isnt he should be seriously considering leaving and finding a oromoter whos going to get him the fights he needs. No room for loyalty in this bizz once it starts affecting your own bank balance imo
