This is why GGG can't get big fights

[Motorcity Cobra]

Sorry about the typo. I meant to say they had an HBO date that couldn't be changed.

Why was Dec 10th able to be moved?

[Sid-Knee]

Listen scumbag.

GGG is from Karaganda, Kazakhztan.

Persuing big fights, he has gone to Germany, to Monaco, to the USA (West coast and east coast), and now London.

The only "demand" he is making is: The weight is 160, I'm only moving up or down for a big money fight.

He's not chosing the arena, the refs, the gloves, the ring size, A-side money (85-15 or anything), etc.

There are ZERO diva demands.

The problem with getting fights for GGG is that he is too good for some people to man up and fight him. Stop trying to twist the facts.

Tell Jacobs, BJS, Canelo, to cut the BS and fight him. The man wants to unify since 5 years ago and it's nearly impossible with these *******.

When he tried to fight Barker in the UK he wanted no purse, just a few seats in the arena. They said no.

You need to forget that you're black and that the man is not black, and think clearly for one minute in the ****** anti-GGG agenda you have since you registered here.

Pretty much. It's not GGG's fault they don't want to fight.

Fights are easy to make... IF BOTH fighters want to get it on. If only one wants it and the other doesn't, then the fight just won't happen.

But try telling that to all the racist GGG haters. They're just mad that he's white.

[Madison Boxing]

nah, this is why GGG cant get the big fights...

[icha]

"You pay me huge money and I'll fight you. Otherwise, I'm not stepping in the ring because I'm going to lose." That seems to be the prevailing motto of fighters nowadays. As oppose to, "Make the fight happen and I'll kick your ass."

These ducks need to change careers.

Ggg is being offered 10 fig deal and still wont fight, so true...

I genuinely think GGG's hype and hardcore following overshadows his general casual awareness. That he hits ****ing hard as well, if he was British or American he'd be the next Tyson regardless of opposition. Then everybody would be getting paid well to fight him. You know he'd get Jacobs, Eubank and BJS by now otherwise.

Agree completely with this.

[brettWall]

This is like denying a serial liar can't possibly lie again, a wife beater can't possibly beat his wife again, etc. It's a pattern. You are ducked not because of just one isolated case.

Take some time off, brother. Your threads are generally good but you're on a bad streak lately with all the ****** GGG threads.

How can someone be a bad promoter if He's built an unknown guy from another country into a superstar in the world of boxing?

It's almost as if people can't see what's right in front of their eyes at times on here. If someone wants to fight GGG and is realistic about the money they should get for doing so then the fight gets made..

Bringing up the Eubank situation is just ridiculous, his own promoter bad mouthed him and his father over what they tried to pull.

Who says he won't fight? who signs a contract one year before the fight? you're so ****** that you believe the bs told to the media by oscar.

Golden Boy Promotions and Main Events went thru hell to get fights made with Roc Nation. This shows Loeffler's attitude towards working hard and making sacrifices to get the big fights made. And this isn't just about the Ward fight. Look at the Eubank Jr fight. When Hearn came to him and told him Eubank Sr was being difficult and offered Brook, Loeffler took the fight instead of telling Hearn to continue negotiations or going elsewhere to make a fight. Loeffler didn't care about how it would look to the public. As long as it was easy to make. He even brags about how easy the fight was to make with Brook. The guy just doesn't have what it takes to be an effective promoter. At the first sign of trouble he takes the path of least resistance. I believe GGG would fight anybody they put in front of him. He just wants to fight.

Just determined that this has been the second most stressful summer of my life. The remainder of it will look like this: ��������������������������������������

This is nonsense.

Regarding the Brook fight, they'd actually signed a contract to fight Eubank. The venue had been booked, HBO's date had been booked, and his training camp had been set up. He was all geared up to fight for a purse of around $5m, in front of the British public which gave him great exposure. When the contact for Brook was signed, it was exactly 9 weeks until the day of the weigh-in. There wasn't any time to try and find an alternate opponent. And it would have been nonsensical to have walked away.

Tom Loeffler has also been through hell with Oscar and Jacobs' camp. Just look how they've messed him around:

Oscar requested a Khan fight before they fought him. So Loeffler accepted step aside money in good faith, cleared up a mandatory, hoping to negotiate afterwards. GG was called into the ring after the Khan fight. Then Loeffler was told to stand by his phone. Yet they went and signed to fight Liam Smith instead. Since then, they've sent a BS flat fee offer, 12 months out.

Danny Jacobs tweeted:"Me and GGG, let's do it" before the Brook fight. Then after Brook, he again said he wanted the fight. Then he had the date of the 10th of December pencilled in. He then tweeted that he was back in the gym working hard. Yet, we then heard rumours that he wanted an interim fight beforehand, but the WBA wouldn't agree to it. Then Jacobs asked for a ridiculous 40%. And now he apparently needs 10-12 weeks preparation. Why does he need that amount of time if he was already preparing for the 10th of December?

The whole thing is a circus. Yet, despite what I've written, it's Loeffler's who's not working hard enough and not making concessions? These guys are just time wasters. They don't want to fight him.

When you don't want to work hard to get fights made you end up fighting the Wade's, Monroe's and Welterweights. Any worth having in life is worth working hard for it. Main Events had to work hard to get Kovalev vs. Ward made. Golden Boy had to work hard to get Cotto vs. Canelo made. I don't know why you're getting so upset. I'm blaming Loeffler not GGG. I said I believe GGG will fight anyone they put in front of him. Him fighting Brook is proof of that

You have no idea what happens behind the scenes.

Again, Loeffler flew to England and signed a contract to fight Eubank.

How has he not worked hard?

He's still negotiating with team Jacobs.

You say GBP worked hard to get a Cotto fight. Sure, but they won't work hard to get the GG fight will they?
