..... how the fk would you know, Gennady's little sister ? LMAO
You're not exactly Mr. Current Affairs are you.
He's determined to fight Badou Jack. Why the hell would he want to fight a MW when he's trying to unify SMW?

For those saying Golovkin should move to 154 for whatever fights, you better hope that he's not the same fighter and that his power is diminished. If he's still the same, Golovkin's power with 8 oz gloves would be sanctioned murder.

On what planet ?
Good god Billy, pull your head out of your ass..... they have been lying through their teeth for FOUR YEARS, and have been exposed on NUMEROUS occasions LMAO
They will forever be known as..... " Team Bull**** ".
You can take a shot at Ward for 1, maybe 2 things..... and you can take a shot at Canelo for 1, maybe 2 things..... but I can give you a fkn shopping list full of Golovkin's lies and flip-flop's..... just ask me, I dare you.
You are not keeping it real man, and you know it.
THat's part of the business unfortunately.
So was doing Ellerbe, Koncz and Roach for Manny.
That's how this business is working, people buy dog sht.

Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View PostCanelo was a big fight though, as was Cotto. Personally I'd love to see GGG move up, but as they say if it makes $s it makes sense. SMW is as stacked with no-names as 160. Degale vs GGG in the UK might make a splash, but Chunky's hardly a household name over here - perhaps it'll do better after Brook - GGG. Badou Jack, Ramirez? These guys are neither gonna earn GGG big $s or make him into some kinda superstar - though they might make for more competitive fights than he's used to.
Even when he moved up to face Oscar, despite the fight itself making lots of doe, he didn't really get that much as he had to settle for 25% split, he also had to wear the gloves Oscar wanted and had to move up weight without a catchweight.
Those are the sacrifices other guys had to make to get to the top. What sacrifice has ***** G made to get to the top?

Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View PostMayweather made $2.2 mil and Castillo $1.1 mil in the first fight, hardly chump change was it? And Floyd was still growing anyway - he was what.. 25? I'm not dissing Floyd at all, but moving up because you're still physically developing is hardly to be commended in and of itself, although what Floyd achieved while he was doing so is of course very special. And yeah - Oscar - the keys to superstardom. You're telling me that wasn't about daring to rich, as well as yeah, daring to be great. Where's Golovlkin's ODLH? He thought it was gonna be Canelo - but maybe he should have taken a gamble on Ward.
If he thought it was gonna be Canelo then why didn't he move down to 155 catchweight then like Floyd moved up to 154 for Oscar? Why didn't he agree to a split lower than 50 percent for Canelo like Floyd did for Oscar? Seriously, you just killed your own argument with that 'he thought Canelo would be his Oscar' statement.
Sure, you might have a point about Floyd growing into his body when he faced Castillo and em, however, that doesn't apply to Oscar does it, since he clearly was unable to make that 154 limit when he weighed in at 150lbs. He was also 150lbs on fight night against Canelo six years later, which proves that he never was able to grow into that weight class, but he still took em risks.
This aint about Mayweather you're right, it is about the fact that the others big names that GGG is comparing himself to took risks and had to accept unfavourable conditions in order to get to where they were, yet GGG, who isn't even a star yet, thinks has already reached that level where he can make demands whereas he hasn't. Even Canelo had to take the 152 catchweight and take small piece of the money in order to get that big fight with the cash cow. What concession is GGG making to get to that level?
Let's face the facts, GGG is a self entitled *****, more than any other fighter out there. Even the self entitled ******* (Cotto, Canelo, Mayweather, Pacquiao) all took way more risks and sacrificed way more than GGG to get to where they are. No wonder none of them are willing to give GGG a shot, why would they? Would you if you were in their shoes? If you had sacrificed as much as they did to get to the top and then this guy came along not willing to make the same kind of concessions you all had to make to earn your place at the top?
Seriously, I genuinely want to know, if you were in their shoes? Would you be able to accept GGG trying to call the shots in negotiations?
