Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: WBA's Fear For Kell Brook is a Compliment

[GaryMSchneider]

I don't think it's necessarily complimentary. I just think they didn't want to be apart of the mockery that people are making of the different weight classes.

Wrong....the WBA and Gilbert Mendoza are slime balls who are playing politics...Broner ducked Brook when he turned down 3 million dollars plus US tv to fight Brook, he will never ever make that kind of money....when it quacks like a duck it is a duck...the WBA stripped Hagler of the belt before he fought Leonard for not fighting Harold Graham first and the IBF refused to sanction the fight....of course it makes no sense...

[GaryMSchneider]

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, the World Boxing Association has refused to sanction the upcoming fight between their champion Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) and challenger Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs).

Hagler was the number on P4P fighter in the world when he fought Leonard...Leonard had surgery for a detached retina before the fight and it was considered very dangerous to fight....the WBA was fine with it, even though they stripped Hagler of the belt before the fight for not fighting the number one contender first.....this shows you how corrupt the WBA is and illogical...it is all dirty politics...

What does the WBA gain from not sanctioning this fight? If anything they lose, because they aren't getting sanctioning fees.

You guys are stretching like Mr fantastic . Leonard, Jones, and broner have size on them. Broker was bigger and far stronger than Paulie, Leonard was the same size if not a little bigger than hagler, I know he was the taller of the two. Same with Roy, he had the size speed and strength to go up.

Kill is in a completely different situation. He's smaller by so much that all of the photos are taken at an angle and they have yet to show one barefoot that shows their whole bodies.

Brook is Curtis Stevens size, he is for sure at least an inch shorter than Khan who looks bigger than Brook himself. Now he's moving up to fight a career middleweight with no pro fights at the weight? Yeah totally the same....

Adrien Broner ducked Kell Brook when he turned down 3 million dollars plus US tv money.....Broner will never make that kind of money, ever....Broner would not even be the favourite with Brook and anybody form 175 down would not be the favourite against GGG....

That's not the point. Broner was still the betting favorite against Pauli despite moving up two divisions. GGG is a wide favorite to beat Brook. This fight should not have been sanctioned as a middleweight fight. Its a side show.

The ggg apologists are funny. WBA is not sanctioning this fight because it's a mismatch. The fight won't even be competitive. Ggg will knock him out within 5. Brook will say he's going back down to 147 and call out Canelo to fight ggg. Khan vs Brook will be next.

[Jubei]

So everyone agrees the WBA is the most corrupt piece of **** sanctioning body on the planet and that Mendoza is a crooked corrupt mafiosi and now the WBA does something that fits some peoples agendas they cheer for the WBA? You guys seriously have problems. Zero backbone, zero principles.

There's also a reason the WBA did not order Jacobs vs GGG even they promised long ato. Why? Because Daddy Haymon blew some $$ into Gilberto Mendoza's arsehole and now he shuts up and Danny can keep and promote his fake title and duck GGG even more until Haymon wants to make that fight happen. WBA should have ordered the Jacobs fight long ago then we would see GGG vs Jacobs now.

Well didn't the WBA claimed they were not informed that Brook was an opponent a couple of days ago?

[Blackclouds]

WBA is the adult in the room here. The aim is to get Jacobs and golovkin in the ring if he wins which is likely because he's the bigger man. This is what we all claim to want, and end to mismatches.

[CaneloMaidana]

Only the GGG haters can't see the logic of this....of course the WBA run by Gilbert Mendoza is as crooked as a dogs hind leg....**** the WBA and their political BS, they are a joke...

Golovkin is a coward.
