Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin Needs To Worry About The Fight, I'm Not

He is right. Canelo is the face of this sport regardless of how you feel about him and GGG just had to travel to the UK for a WW. Canelo is bringing 40/50K in a fight NSB tried to say no one cared about.

Jacobs and Saunders calling out GGG so lets hope they dont fumble

if canelo is the face of boxing then boxing stinks

Only to a few of the 1700 on NSB but not the 40/50K actually going to watch the fight

i never post here but i read all the comments.

2 things i have to comment on.

1. with all due respect to Smith, he may be a champ and undefeated, but he has never even fought a B level fighter before. he doesn't have anything for Canelo in this fight, it will be a boxing lesson for as long as it lasts.

2. the Canelo-GGG debate doesn't make much sense to me, especially when people say Canelo is ducking GGG. I like both fighters and rate both as A level fighters, but GGG needs this fight more than Canelo.
Canelo is already a PPV star
Canelo fought Mayweather when he was 23 years old and on Mayweather's terms. Knowing he couldnt make 152 and knowing it was too soon in his career. Why because he knew it was his chance to become a star.

Logically you cannot come into the game and call out a PPV star on your terms, and expect a PPV split.
If GGG was that desperate for the fight, he should have done what PAC eventually did to get the Mayweather fighter and accept that he was not the A team. Take whats on offer if your only motive is the fight, and take your chances to become a PPV star.
I like GGG he is a warrior and a good fighter, but he knows the only way he is gonna make serious money and become a PPV star is by beating the star.
So he needs Canelo. simple as that

ok, ok, it all comes down to show biz. There's a compelling counterargument to your position though that De La Hoya and Golden Boy intentionally float unattractive offers because they know they will be refused and are avoiding Golovkin while Canelo is in his prime earning years. They will only risk the match up when 1) Golovkin is a couple ring years older and hopefully more beatable 2) Alvarez' earning power diminishes and there's nowhere left to go for a big payday, ideally both.

I see you totally failed to understand what I said, figures. Team Ggg are trying to make those fights, the opponents are putting up obstacles, **** for brains. What's unclear?
