Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Eubank Deal Hangs in The Balance Over Sky Money

[MDPopescu]

Eubank is right to ask for £6 millon father or son

... ask who, kid??? God Almighty?

Garbage fight. Eubank is a European level fighter nothing more. His defence is novice level.

so was/is Martin Murray....sadly thats one of his best wins...time to step on the gas K2...Eubank may be a prospect but he showed he could hang. He went the route with BJS who is a good boxer.He at least has a high ranking and some upside. Better than guys on house arrest and someone we'd have to google I guess.

GGG should move up to 161 lbs and force the SMW fight him at that weight for their titles, or He should force them to come down to 160 like ANDRE WARD made CHAD DAWSON come down to his weight.

SMDH.....Dawson called Ward out, Ward called his bluff and kicked his ass.

Dawson took a risk at going for a title at 168. Thats what champions do....take risks...GGG could learn from Dawson and Ward(who showed he was the best at 168 and will be fighting Kov in November)

instead of sitting back, collecting belts he isnt fighting for and his team isnt willing to pay the top opponents decent money. Its no coincidence that the issue with K2 is always money. Im sure they are overestimating GGG $$$$ potential and viewership.

Sr. is doing what Tom Loeffler should be doing. Calling out the network to put the money up to make the big fight. If he pulls this off and Sky caves maybe people will finally realize what most of us have been saying for a while. Nobody is afraid of GGG. They just want to be paid properly for fighting him. They shouldn't suffer because GGG is stuck with a network and promoter who can't come up with the money to make big fights happen.

I said this before Amir Khan got £12 Millon for fighting Canelo

Where is everyone pulling this figure from? Khan got about $2m

Canelo only got $3.5m for the fight.

Khan's dad already said he would have made much more fighting Brook but they want to fight the best.

These were the purses for that card:
Saul Alvarez ($3,500,000) vs. Amir Khan ($2,000,000)
David Lemieux ($200,000) vs. Glen Tapia ($150,000)
Mauricio Herrera ($175,000) vs. Frankie Gomez ($90,000)
Curtis Stevens ($65,000) vs. Patrick Teixeira ($50,000)

... and who is asking Jr. for £6 million? His dad, perhaps?
... because fans from the UK will not buy tickets in order to watch Jr being dispatched just in front of them -- Brits aren't that dumb...

He would sell out o2 twice over if this fight takes place. People talking about Golovkin like he actually beat Quillen, Jacobs, Cotto, Martinez, Lee & Saunders. What did he actually do? 'Am fightin' mah mandatory mang'.

Geale, Lemieux, Adamu, Wade, Monroe. Only fanboys don't see the pattern. He's fighting the WEAKEST Boxers in the division.

Welcome to the Chris Eubank Snr school of negotiation....

WELL THEY ARE PRIZEFIGHTERS....too bad Gennady Gonad Garglers dont understand these fighters don't want to get paid peanuts while he gets 7 figures...thats common sense...some dont have it.

even midget Cotto blitzed Geale.....thats not a good look


GGG made history....he is the first fighter to unify belts with out fighting for all of them, he made the p4p list without beating anyone elite or close to p4p, and he gets credit for beating fighters he never fought (Quillin, BJS, Lee, etc.)

Murray is and always was a euro level guy who comes up short vs world class guys and has EVERY time

Lemieux and Proska are his best wins but they aren't world beaters. Good fighters though

How did this guy ever get in anyone's top ten p4p with a resume as thin as his?


I wonder what can is next for the can man " Any Can, Can get it. ameriCans, afriCans, mexiCans. Any Can, can get it !!!"

Khan would be just dumb to fight for that Naseem was getting from HBO on a regular basis he has been mugged if this is true I also read that is what he earn after PPV came in
