    What he's saying is not correct, the system allows you to give a vote for each fighter.

    But GGG has the biggest diferential (positive votes minus negative votes) leaving him in the first position.

    The statement was:

    Fight fans can now pick the ultimate top 10 pound-for-pound fighters

    Is Andre Ward the best pound-for-pound fighter around? Or is it Sergey Kovalev? And where do Britain's best fit into the current top 10?

    Well now it's time for YOU to decide on our latest ranking article.
    2+2=4 my friend... GGG was selected as #1 P4P according to the UK fans. Get used to it. Ward is 2nd so it shouldn't be a bad poll for you.

      He's talking about the poll on the thread.

      The Sky vote was for if they belong in the top 10, not who is P4P #1, that's why you were allowed to upvote multiple fighters. Stop being so fucking dumb.

        I don't know whether it will let you or not. I'm just wondering why you are so sure that none of the votes were by alts. Mmm...

          GGG recently won a Sky Sports poll for best P4P boxer in the world, and super-human other-worldly entity is the logical next step up from that. Whatever, if he beats Kell Brook, that should open the door to other big fights for him over here.
          I guess they never heard of Sergei Kovalev and they've short memories when it comes to Andre Ward.

            Yeah... right. If that was the case, why in the world did they put a big "1" besides Golovkin name? why did they order them based on votes and gave enumerated positions? just fkin admit it.

              You wouldn't have multiple choice in a vote for P4P #1. Bit of common sense moron.

                He's being asked why didn't THEY send an offer to K2 and the response is that they can't do it because the offer would be to fight on Showtime (?) and GGG can't fight there. Even the interviewer sounded in disbelief of that ****** excuse.

                He's also on record saying that they would accept 5 millions. The ****... Lara biggest purse was 1 million for Canelo on a PPV.

                  No, but the fighter with more votes from the public is ranked #1.

                    How can they send an offer for HBO, he's not an HBO fighter and can't get a budget from HBO for the fight to make an offer. You have no common sense at all.

                      one more options is missing, which i think is the most likely reason why the fight didn't happen yet.

                      High cost (i.e. Lara's purse) with little profit upside (i.e. Lara's popularity).

                      No fighter GGG has fought was in this category, except maybe Lemiux).

                      Monroe (low cost, low profit)
                      Wade (low cost, low profit, mandatory)
                      Brook (high cost, high profit)
                      Rubio (low cost, low profit, become mandatory to Canelo/Cotto)
                      Rosado (low cost, low profit)
