How old will GGG be when canelo finally fights him

[just the facts]

Canelo doesn't need a dancer partner half as much as GGG does....that's for damn sure.

Canelo will always outsell GGG.

A-side is Alvarez...plus he's younger with the better resume.

Good points. Game, set, match. Nuff said and end thread.

g string doesn't have to move up, but if he can't land a fight with Canelo it will be his only option to make serious money and have any semblance of a note worthy legacy.

Money doesnt equal legacy.

Below needs gig real bad. He needs to truly rebuild reputation with bona fida prime name in gig after loss to floyd

Black balling .

Money doesnt equal legacy.

you're right but again if g string can't land a fight with Canelo, the only fight that would make him serious money and make his career legacy anything special would be the winner of Ward/Kov

Whats wrong with being felix sturm. If GGG was smart he would just go fight in germany , making sturm money .

for a fight that will generate atleast 2 mil ppv buys 3 million is a joke for the champion, besides money was never the issue it could always be worked out but there wasnt any negotiation to begin with.

The fact that you think that Alvarez-Golovkin is going to generate 2m PPV buys is a joke.

Cotto-Alvarez ended up doing 900k PPV buys, and Golovkin brings nothing to the table that would even suggest that he could help get to even that number (there's not some massive Kazakh fanbase to undergird the PPV, his live business isn't monster, and the TV audience has failed to continue to grow with him).

If K2 is thinking anything like you're suggestion, there's no need to even have negotiations because things won't lead anywhere

I wouldn't say comfortably, from what I understand it is incredibly difficult for him to get down but he has found a way to do it. I don't think it will be easy at all for him to drop that extra pound today.

Simply going off of the eyeball test; Alvarez was walking around for press week, engaging with the fans, looked to be already on weight, and didn't look like utter **** (eyes weren't sunken, he didn't seem to be on edge about anything, etc).

We'll see what he looks like on the scales this afternoon, but my guess is that he'll likely look dry, but still ok.

[Boxing Scene]

If he was struggling last night/today, he could have problems.

Canelo didnt do much more vs khan. It seems as if canelo needs a dance partner like mayweather and cotto to do respectable numbers.

... Canelo-Khan apparently did 600k PPV buys ... that's pretty respectable in my opinion
