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

[therealpugilist]

How you going to talk Golovkin isn't proven but say McClellan was? I'm not saying he's wasn't but McCllelan only had two major wins and they were both over Julian Jackson, who was smallish for MW and chinny. His next biggest win was Mugabi who was notoriously overrated. G-Man was fun to watch, but his list of accomplishments was pretty thin (to which I blame Don King).

And you try to belittle Golovkin for being 'handed' belts, when the only reason for doing so is b/c the other guys refused to face him. The sport works different today than it did for Hagler & Monzon. There's more belts and bigger paydays, so guys don't have to fight people like Golovkin.

If Monzon & Hagler were fighting in this era, they'd be going threw the same **** Golovkin is. Neither would be any bigger a draw as Golovkin, and both would be feared by other fighters and continually ducked just like Golovkin.

I never said McClellan was more proven..I said he was scarier and more devastating puncher...which he was...no one is ducking GGG as much as yall think...his team wants to keep most of the money, they are cheap and the fighters have the right to be paid near or what they deserve.



do you guys actually comprehend what you read or actually finish reading a post before you respond? I said GGG is not the scariest middleweight Ive seen. Like I said McClellan and Benn had fighters shook. they had true one punch power...GGG breaks you down.

you do know GGG didnt have to fight for 2 of the 3 belts in his possession so modern boxing practices are just fine by him, im sure.

I dont care how you slice it, put the icing on it, he didnt fight for two of the belts so how significant is being "unified" champion when you didnt even fight for the belts?

Not so impressive? I guess you'll be going for CEJ then?

I'll definitely be tuning in.

Why does money all of a sudden become a problem when fighting GGG? The Eubank's have fought several times on Skysports and know how they operate.

Because the fight would be on PPV over here. The Eubank wants to make sure they get a good split for taking that fight. And i dont blame them, they are going to sell the fight up to a point where it would do great numbers. They have to benefit from that too NOT just sky picking up the majority of the PPV money.

So according to you, the likes of Jacobs, BJS, Eubank Jr, deserve more money than GGG and they ARENT ducking him? GTFO with your braindead ****.

Canelo blatantly and shamelessly ducked while the whole world was watching. Daniel Jacobs goes about his life like Golovkin doesnt exist and wont even dare speak his name. BJS is also talking big **** yet goes about his euro bum tour.

If McClellan was no proven than Golovkin, then what evidence is there that he was a more devastating puncher?

Golovkin has a higher KO% against similar level opponents, and he didn't lose to any of them, unlike McClellan. GGG would have flattened anybody McClellan beat.

Ok fine, McClellan was scarier, especially if you were a flamingo.

Why is it significant to hold all the belts, regardless of how you win them? Because you control the top. Now anyone who wants to call themselves a top MW has to fight Golovkin period. Look at BJS, he's protected by the WBO. It's why Danny Jacobs wants to fight him so bad, so he can keep calling himself a champion w/o having to fight Golovkin. If he just held one title, regardless of which one, the other top guys would just flock to the other titles and it would be a watered down mess. Thank god he's trying to unify a division, every top fighter should, as a boxing fan you shouldn't even question that. Weak mandatories like Wade will become rare when all the MW's become contenders instead of pretend champions.

You say Golovkin's cheap, but how do you figure? Really explain this. His opponents make more money fighting Golovkin than anyone not named Canelo. They are being compensated generously, it's not Canelo or Floyd money, but they were never going to get that anyways. The top MW's and JMW's aren't making that much to begin with, but they'll make a hell of alot more to fight GGG.

It's significant when the other titlists rather give up the belt than face him, a$$wipe.

And why are you making things up, loser? His team are never making outsized demands, Hearn just said they made a deal quick and easy. Now when it's time to sign to fight Ggg the Eubanks want to change the way ppv operates in the UK lol

Actually Golovkin has a higher KO% against better opposition than McClellan. No hate.

Look at McClellan's resume on boxrec. He had 34 fights, look at his first 29 opponents, it makes Deontay Wilder's resume look impressive. When he fought an old Mugabi, he was still fighting guys with a 16-10 and 12-17 records. 80% of his opponents were coming off a loss. Yeah he looked scary, he was fighting really weak opposition. But we have guys today saying Golovkin is fabricated after he's beating top 10 MW like nothing, and then these fools say he's nothing compared to the great G-Man. They need to look at McClellan more closely. Despite his enormous talent, he was a Don King production.

6 million pounds wtf more like 6 million pence for that 2nd rate domestic fighter who couldn't even beat Saunders. Selling tickets to his execution not a champion level fight. Another waste of time fight for GGG he is making millions fighting weaklings in fights no one wants to see. Thanx HBO and Sky for encouraging this crap.

That is hilarious!

you guys keep insinuating grown men are afraid of this guy but he is not the most devastating middleweight i have seen and they have seen so.....its a little deeper than "oh they scared"

are you guys really that simple?
