Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Eubank: Hearn Aims To Finalize Deal in 48-72 Hours

[Chrismart]

I hope this fight doesn't fall at this hurdle due to the Eubanks pushing their luck with Sky. As Sky won't change their structure for Eubank Jr.

If the fight does fall through it would be interesting to see what Hearns has to say about the details of Eubank's demands of Sky. Whether or not that would be in Hearn's best interests to disclose though, i don't know.
Rocking the boat and all that.

Anyway..fingers crossed.

I hope Golovkin gets more fights man, I wanna see him fight more than twice a year.

Awesome signature :

Duckers of Boxing
1. Canelo Alvarez (Golovkin)
2. Adonis Stevenson (Kovalev)
3. Billy Joe Saunders (Golovkin)
4. Peter Quillin (Golovkin)
5. Danny Garcia (Spence, Thurman, Porter)

Not that there was a specific 80-20 offer, but offering BJS approximately 1.5 million for a unification fight in the UK is well under 40% of what that fight would make.

Apparently that was an offer for a US fight. Gggs guys do not promote in the UK, it's on Warren to make an offer for the UK. But Brit posters here assured me Warren can't afford Ggg, since Bjs is not popular back home

You missed the point of the post trying to be argumentative. There are a lot of factors that make fights fall through or never materialize that should be credited instead of labeling all fighters afraid of Golovkin.

For how long you are watching boxing? Do you know pro boxing rules? If you don't than the rules for MW division (in terms of weight) are: the limit is 160lb. If someone wants to come and fight under this limit (and many MW do including Golovking who often comes at 159 on the weight in) it's OK, but it's not possible (according to MW rules) to ask the MW chamion or mandatory challenger to come to the scales at lower weight.
In fact I suspect that you do realise it. But still playing a blame game against GGG. Does it hurt that Canelo run scared to death?

For how long you watch boxing friend? Weight is negotiable. In any fight. If the fighters agree, they can be one pound over the lower limit if they choose. I wish fanboys would stop trying to make every boxing issue about Alvarez and Golovkin.

Guys who support Canelo and his ducking butt are the reason UFC is beating Boxing. They act like Canelo is the king and can dictate his opponents like he's proven something. GGG can KO every guy on Canelo's record. That guy is running

UFC's biggest star last fought a guy who isn't a contender at any weight class and lost to him. Now, he's rematching the same gatekeeper instead of defending his belt, which he may never again defend if Frankie Edgar is his opponent.

At welter, even top 5 guys are drawing attention to the fact that Maia has been skipped over for a title shot and there's two guys that have been placed in line in front of him.

At MW, Bisping might get his wish and line-up an Hendo fight, instead of several guys who are clearly more deserving.

Hate Canelo all you like but the UFC claim you made is pure BS. They do the same shyt over there too but since there aren't multiple promoters calling each other out, the UFC can conveniently hide their inconsistencies.

Golovkin will travel to the UK to make more money. That's the ONLY reason this fight is being entertained. The weight is a negotiable point. It's not a knock to insist on the upper limit, but we should all recognize that it's one area where K2 refuses to negotiate. Also, it appears that K2 has not offered the prospective opponents like Saunders more money than Lemieux was given. No one on the prospective opponent list that Loeffler has mentioned brings a smaller fan base than Lemieux. Bigger pie bigger opponents purse. Again, not a knock on K2 or Trip...just a couple of reasons why the they are all scared statement shouldn't be tossed around so easily.

Saunders, Jacobs, Eubank, Lemieux all fight at 160- which is the same weight GGG fights--- so there is zero problems in that regard.

Eubank has a deal with sky sports for 3 million pounds (4 million US) to fight GGG--- much more than Lemieux (1.5 Million US) earned to fight GGG, which was a career high purse for Lemieux too

[LetOutTheCage]

160 is the maximum weight for the division. Meaning a middleweight fight can be sanctioned at 157.3 if so agreed. It favors Golovkin to fight at the max. He isn't wrong for taking that position. We as fans just have to recognize who is being inflexible and analyze fights that fail to materialize objectively.

Lol so it favors GGG heavily to fight at the middleweight limit, are you serious? Are you really going to criticize the guy for fighting at the limit now?
