Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Brook - WBA Has NOT Sanctioned as Title Fight

[Scipio2009]

If the wba had forced Jacobs to negotiate or purse bid with Golovkin like they said they were going to, maybe we wouldn't have this fight.

Waiting on Golovkin to pine after Alvarez (even after Alvarez gave up the WBC belt), and then pushing the Jacobs fight (when Jacobs had already moved towards the Mora rematch) would've been a disservice to Jacobs.

With both guys planning to fight in September (and the WBA not sanctioning the Golovkin-Brook fight), Daniel Jacobs is positioned to get his title shot, Golovkin will have to make a decision with his belt, and the WBA will either have the "king of Brooklyn" as their champion or they will have Golovkin as a validated champion.

The "King of Brooklyn" is positioned to only receive 25% of a winning purse bid and has already called the $1.5mill offer for a Golovkin fight - "Chump Change". Unless somebody bids over $6mill on that fight, he's not getting over that $1.5mill unless he agrees to K2's negotiations.

The Championships Committee of the World Boxing Association has notified representatives of WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs), the undefeated knockout artist from Los Angeles by way of Karaganda, Kazakhstan, that "Triple G" must, under the rules of the WBA, request special permission from the sanctioning body before getting into the ring with IBF welterweight champion Kell "Special K" Brook (36-0, 25 KOs), from Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, on September 10.

good, Hypekin has had enough soft defences

..... Canelo..... could have literally fought almost anyone from 147-160.

oh yea, you're so right..... everyone from 147-160 would cut off one of their fingers for an opportunity like that

well, just about everyone

No it isn't. Khan is far worse of a cherry pick.

so..... you admit that Brook is a blatant cherry-pick then..... ?

[j0zef]

Seriously wtf. They didn't have the balls to force Jacobs fight him and just pretended it didn't happen.. But now they don't sanction the Brook fight? That's some serious bull!

No it isn't. Khan is far worse of a cherry pick. Khan isn't even a mention for top 3 welterweight. Compare that to Brook, and everyone agrees he's top 2.
Khan got knocked out at lower weight classes, and moves up to fight a heavy handed man who weighs in 170 minimum fight night? Khan doesn't even weigh what Brook does. Brook has come in around 160 on fight nights before a few times. Khan had to bulk up and get slightly fatter to get close to that range.

Enough of that bull****. Canelo weighs slightly more than Golovkin on fight night. It's been proven. He cuts more water weight and get's away with it because he's young. Just wait until he learns his body can't adjust to it as well when he ages.

LOL, Lara. Lara who probably wants more money than he's worth. Yeah ****ing right. Make Golovkin take a huge cut in pay to fight a guy who brings no exposure? Absolutely ******ed. Difference between Canelo and Golovkin is none of the top middleweight's in Golovkin's division wanted to fight him. Canelo? He doesn't even talk about the top Jr. Middleweights. Big ****ing difference.

??? Do you smoke crack???

Khan vs. Canelo 3:1 BETTING odds. Went to 5:1. EVERYONE knew Khan would make Canelo look slow and sloppy. I had Khan winning every round d but the last 2...

Brook vs. GGG 9:1, now 11:1 within DAYS...

Ill tame VEGAS odds over some hack that suks ggg nuts.
