Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Manager Rips Eubanks: Those Clowns Lost Their Shot

[Boxing lives]

Eubank is garbage. Its a disgrace that he was ever considered in the first place. Typical Golovkin bum hunting.

NO ggg wants to bind him to wbc rules...HIS MONEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT WBC RULES...if u think canelo is giving ggg a 40% split then just keep living in fairy land where everyone seems to love saying crap like ducking..

canelo is a money man..just like floyd would not be binded by regulated purse splits he wont either...

ggg team kept talkin about purse bids n crap...why? bc that gives them a 40%...i'm not a fan of neither i just understand boxing business bc it keeps me from guessing or wasting a lot of time on a situation..always follow the dollars..it's been this way for almost 100 years now

Yeah, Canelo's money is more important than the WBC rules. How ****** and naive those foolish sheep were who expected Sulaiman to do anything about enforcing a mando for a B side nobody like GGG. Remember all that shit?

[JUNIABOY]

by this train of thought u lost ur shot at canelo by not accepting the table setting offer? why is team ggg shutting doors on fights when there is literally only a couple that make sense barring him moving up in weight which i think hell never do

No promoter is giving the B-side full promotional control over a ppv event...especially one who's never fought outside of his own country. And to give the same fighter control over ticket sales & payouts to undercard fighters is ludicrous. Would you give the B-side of your favorite fighter that much control over the event?!...especially one who's never been on ppv?! Wow, you're giving the Eubanks a lot more credit than the rest of the world. Credit to you for being so optimistic.

You know, FMJ also tried to offer Pac a flat fee of 40mil to fight him. Look how that turned out. The situation with GGG & Canelo is no different...Canelo's team is trying to low-ball GGG. You think 10mil is a lot?!...pssh, not in comparison to 30mil. K2 is no kind of a promoter if they take this deal. Because, essentially, it could result in GGG getting a 10% split...that's a terrible share considering that the event will not do as good if GGG isn't the opponent. If you want to talk about business, then you cannot deny that Canelo's biggest payday at this moment is GGG, & vice versa. So, why would GGG's team accept a 10% split or less when they know nobody is making that money without GGG?!

You're confused. GGG offered Eubank jr the fight on great terms. GGG offered to come fight in Eubank jr's country. As usual, GGG went above and beyond. As usual, the other fighter ducked him at the last minute. Blame it on Eubank jr or his father, it was his side that used crazy demands to back out of the fight, not GGG. Even their own promoter admits it was his fighter, the Eubanks, who were to blame for not fighting GGG. GGG did everything right which is why Kell Brook was so eager to come in and take the same deal.

It's so rare for a promoter to blame their own fighter for a fight falling apart. How often do you see that? Almost never. But GGG is so revered in the sport, he not only offers spectacular knockouts in the ring, he inspires rarely seen methods of ducking outside of the ring.

I don't know if you have a racial or national bias, but to blame GGG for being ducked by a fighter, who's own promoter admits it was his fighter not GGG, shows you have some type of bias or hatred against the #1 pound for pound fighter on the planet. I don't know why you have that bias but clearly you do. As for GGG saying they're not going to deal with Eubank now, that's just because they don't want to waste any more time negotiating with someone who plays negotiating games instead of fighting. Last time they did that, it put them in a position where they didn't have any more time to negotiate with opponents and had to agree to fight Kell Brook, which opened them up to tons of unwarranted criticism. With haters like you, they are damned if they do, damned if they don't, so this time they're just not going to waste time.

Hopefully the Eubanks get their act together, and the fight can be revisited in the future if Eubanks don't back out again, as Abel Sanchez and Tom Loeffler have said it's still a possibility in the future. When the fight originally fell apart, I didn't really care because I remembered Saunders beating Eubank so figured he wasn't very good, but since then I've watched some of his recent fights on youtube and he has spectacular speed for a middleweight and pretty good power and strength too. Now I'm actually disappointed we didn't get that fight. I didn't realize Eubank jr was so talented. That also elevates Saunders in my book. In any case I hope we see Jacobs next, and that GGG-Eubank happens in the future, but there's no question Eubanks are to blame for ducking the fight the first time after all that trash talk, and if GGG's team doesn't think they can rely on them anymore, then you can't blame GGG for looking elsewhere.

Of course, some biased fans, whether racial bias or national bias, will find a way to blame GGG for anything. When Floyd was supposed P4P #1 people hated him because he deserved it. He cherry picked and never fought top guys in their prime in their ideal weight class with their normal gloves etc. But with GGG it's just a case where some people will always look to hate on greatness. This man is cleaning out his division, willing to fight everyone, has 22 knockouts in a row, and has been ducked by countless fighters from 154 to 168. Even Ramirez who outweighs him by 25 pounds normally wants to fight him just not next, wants to wait until GGG is 35 next year. That's how feared he is that a huge super middleweight power puncher with like a five inch reach advantage, and possibly a speed advantage, who is a natural light heavyweight, in his prime, isn't ready for GGG.

That's the best guy a division above GGG, who would kick James Degale's ass after James Degale got a gift decision after being beaten up by Rogelio Medina, ducking GGG. The #1 super middleweight ducking a middleweight. That's how good that middleweight is, named Gennady Golovkin. But some people would rather blame the victim of ducking, GGG, than the duckers. They would rather remain willfully ignorant of facts and bring up Lara, instead of learning about the boxing scene and looking up how his manager said they were loyal to Showtime, and how Dibella said there would be "TV problems" in making that fight even though there were no problems making GGG-Wade or Canelo-Khan. It just shows Lara doesn't really want the fight after all, but you haters will keep bringing him up because the only way you can avoid blaming the ten fighters who keep ducking GGG is to find one who GGG is supposedly ducking. Too bad that fighter doesn't exist lol!

Once you guys find out the facts about Lara, you will probably go back to "scaled down light heavyweight" "weighs 200 pounds outside the gym" Andre Ward (quotes from his own trainer) who struggles to make 175, and hasn't been able to make 168 the entire time he pretended to want to fight GGG, but only after GGG already signed to fight Lemieux and only after three tuneups of course, even though he was the bigger fighter. Funny how even these much bigger fighters either don't want to fight GGG until next year, or demand multiple tuneups first. I thought normally the fighter moving up in weight needed the tuneups first, not the fighter bringing his opponent up to his weight class?

Like Canelo, now he wants tuneups first going up in weight before fighting GGG. So fighters moving up to fight GGG need tuneups, and won't fight him immediately. But when GGG moves up, those bigger fighters are the ones who need the tuneups too, not GGG, who was willing to fight Froch, Chavez Jr., and Ward in his first fight at 168, something no other champion these days is doing. But once again you biased haters of greatness will look for excuses to hate this man who is everything that is right with boxing. He has brought more exciting in his one-sided fights against the only fighters who will get in the ring with him in just a couple years than Floyd and Andre provided their entire careers! I don't know why yall hate on that. I feel your frustration about one-sided fights, I agree about that, but since I'm an informed boxing fan, I know to blame the duckers, instead of blaming the victim of ducking. Don't yall social justice and ****? Never blame the victim!

I think if yall criticized PC social justice warriors as much as yall criticized GGG, the world would be a much better place. And if yall criticized the duckers as much as yall criticized GGG, boxing would be a much better sport.

Friend... truncating can be your very best pal.

He looked like Bambi vs BJS a well schooled elite Middleweight & has looked like a frigging monster vs everyone else. Go to bed.

Go watch some of his fights then tell me when he looked like a monster.He hasn't fought a single punched needs about a thousand uppercuts to stop domestic opposition.I was at his fight with Price,everyone thought he lost,he was stubbling all over the place and looked like garbage..yeah ,a real monster.Get yourself some glasses..

He's looked like a monster vs everyone apart from Billy Joe Saunders just accept it. Second generation talent and one of the best in his division.

This is a fact.

idk if u're joking or not, but canelo isnt in business for the wbc he's in it for himself...if anyone thinks ggg deserves a 60-40 split i'd laugh at them and not waste time explaing and giving this fight any more hype..the more hype the longer they drag it out

floyd was makeing a 60million purse at that time..and told him they'd discuss the ppv split afterwards...so u didnt get down tot he point..and he never said no ppv for pac....NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT LINK...and i bet u cant now

[bluepete]

Who's he fought who was a puncher? Did you see the Price fight ? Have you seen him live..who's he knocked out ? I mean without hitting them with 300 uppercuts..He's got no power ,no balance and no one on his record..did I mention his footwork? You accept it..your seeing him through the beer goggles..
