It was Oscar who recently said that the fight can 'not happen now' --Not Team GGG
Not once has Oscar/ Golden Boy/ Canelo have said that this fight is not happening this fall because GGG won't fight at 155. There wasn't even negotiations, much less any catchweight demands, on the part of golden boy, just a verbal agreement from them to fight GGG 'possibly' in 2017.
Money issue? You do realize that Saunders and Eubank were offered career high purses to fight GGG right? But they both chickened out. Jacobs said he was offered 'Peter Quillin' money to fight GGG- which is by far his highest purse and he will be making much less in the pointless Mora rematch-- and is avoiding GGG as long as possible. Canelo could have made much more $$$ fighting GGG this fall than Liam Smith, yet he and his team want to wait til 2017.
