Dirk getting owned by Tom Loeffler

[Eastcoast]

If Degale was/is contracted to fight Jack then why bring him up in the first place?

It's the same thing Loeffler moans about with GGG.

I can agree with that. However I'm glad they did, it opens the door to the fight getting made. DeGale/Golovkin is my top choice, if they're both on record saying they want it and now we see the economics can be worked out for the fight, let's get it made next.

If I'm not mistaken all Loeffler said originally was that if Hearn offered DeGale they would have taken that deal at 168. I don't think you should read too much into this exchange with a known troll, on twitter of all places.

The fight fell apart after the brexit. Vargas/TR upped their demand from $1.5mill to $2mill. Hearn was going to take a loss at that point. Hearn was going to take another loss with the Eubank's either backing out or asking for the moon. That's how we got Golovkin/Brook = money grab.

Yeah. So in essence, even if DeGale was negotiating another fight they could have asked. Like they did Brook.

Wasn't like Brook was negotiating a fight or anything when GGG came calling.

Brook/Vargas was dead in the water, according to Hearn, and GGG didn't come calling him. Golovkin signed to fight Eubank, remember?

Kell is going to be earning 3/4 as much for GGG than he would have got for Vargas, which was around $1 million, I read. DeGale is looking at $5 million for Badou Jack.

It'd been nice if K2 made a push to steal DeGale from the Jack fight prior to signing for the Brook fight. K2 never asked for the Brook fight, they were presented it last second and quickly agreed thinking easy money and big publicity.


Here's Hearn's statement on Golovkin/DeGale following the DeGale/Medina fight.

[craigus1990]

Career high payday for a fight he's odds on favourite to win, and an intro to the UK market which will likely lead to more big money fights further down the line.

From GGG and K2's perspective, this is a great fight.

This is not a good fight for GGG whichever way you slice it... he might make a few quid off of it... but the reality is within the boxing community (which is pretty much the only people who watch these days... the casuals moving in droves over to the UFC) and boxing writers circles, this fight is being seen as a joke... and GGG gains a reputation for taking on weak opponents once more. In terms of building a respectable resume and legacy - for want of a better word - this fight stinks.
Now, I am aware people have openly ducked Golovkin, but at the same time, there were better options than taking on a welterweight... and like I say, the boxing world knows that and this fight is just being viewed as a farce and overall may end up damaging Golovkin's stock...
The fight is really indefensible.

At least dirk took someone to prom while loafhead probably went solo

Loefflers date kept postponing the prom, but Tom is POSITIVE she really likes him and really wants to go. It just may take a year or 2 for it to happen......lol

[kafkod]

GGG absolutely deserves some criticism here. this is another case of GGG complaining about not getting the fight he wants but willingly giving that fight up for money. The only difference is this time instead of step aside money its a 90/10 glorified sparring session.

We need not look at this solely through the perspective of Brook and Hearn to try and make this garbage acceptable.

What fight GGG give up to fight Brook?

[The Big Dunn]

What fight GGG give up to fight Brook?

He agreed to defer the Canelo fight to Sept. 2017.

[Redd Foxx]

Somebody's still bitter about getting a lesson on UFC ppv numbers after they bragged about following it for years.

Lol, How about you spend 3 hours making a chart that proves me correct again since that went so well for you last time.
Little tip; have some purpose in your life besides being a Golovkin apologist and you won't look liker such a clown all the time.
