Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Denies They Rejected Offer For Canelo Fight

[timboks]

No it wasn't clearly you didn't read Tom admitted it was for sept. And canelo vacated because ggg refused to agree to come down in weight. You can't have both either you agree to catch weight at canelos weight or you wait for canelo to move up to 160. But now that the weight is resolved GGG still ain't agree to the offer. Face it GGG don't want the fight as bad as you kiddies think. If he wanted it he would of went down to 155 to get it in 2016 no problem for Mr 154 or 168 doe? Now that weight isn't the problem and Tom said I want something in writing for Sept 2017 he now has a problem with his phone. GGG been exposed as a liar and fraud at every step. Remember I am not a businessman I am a fighter and it's disrespectful to boxing to drag a WW up a to 155? I guess GGG disrespected boxing by dragging Brook up 2 weight classes to 160 and he damn sure a businessman now why else has he not agreed to the offer which nobody in loud mouth GGG camp has denied came.

Great, backtracking to catchweights again when this fool regularly enters the ring as a light heavyweight. And all the while ignoring the fact that cameltoe dropped the belt to avoid the fight after talking shyt about Mexico don't 'f' around etc. Though you right champ, GGG is a fraud and he don't want the fight, LMAO

I think it's a sign. Don't think that because Canelo is relatively young that he will have a long career. Now he's starting to have hand problems. They waiting on GGG to age maybe they don't realize Canelo is aging as well and will be coming up on 30 himself in just a few years.

Given Canelo's body type I don't think he will keep going strong once he enters his 30's. He's not naturally a lean guy and but for boxing Canelo would be around here 200lbs somewhere.....

They need to do the fight while Canelo is still young and actually has a chance to beat GGG.

Russian and Asian descendants don't have a history of aging prematurely this is why the Klitschko's fought all the way up to 40 years old.

Nobody knows what he enters the ring at but I do know he has never fought more then 155 and just made 154 this weekend which should of been no problem for Mr 154 or 168 which ggg been saying for almost half a decade. Fact is he demanded canelo move up to 160 for the first time and fight him. Something he has refused to do with ward at 168 and many others. He could of had a fight with ward and/or canelo in 2016 if he moved to 154 or 168 ike he said he would. Making weight demands on both fighters killed both fights in 2016. Now he has an offer at 160 just like the offer ward gave Kovalev which for such a loud mouth camp they have yet to deny any of the details provided by oscar. Funny how these losers respond on twitter 5 min later for everything but days and days everyone in ggg camp has yet to deny Oscars offer. Tom saying well we didn't refect the offer we just didn't accept it. Nor did he deny the amount. Yet Oscar is the one lying? GTFO

Being asked to sign a contract agreeing terms for a fight a year down the line is bullshit.

Ward pulled that trick as a PR stunt with GGG and now Oscar is using it again because he knows the average US boxing fan has the IQ of a gnat.

"GGG turned down $10 million plus PPV upside doe ..." Gullible idiots!

Why is it BS? It can be good business. It also takes out the guess work as to why a fighter is taking soft touches. It also helps with planning out future fights, i.e mandatories.

FYI...these are real offers not PR stunts. I wish you and others would drop that idea. It's like one of your go to rebuttals to discredit a potential Golovkin opponent when K2 is unresponsive or says no. If you didn't attack every other fighter for playing the risk reward games you wouldn't have to make up stuff to ignore the fact that Team Golovkin does it as well.

There's a difference between playing the risk reward game and playing the fans via the media. That's what Ward did with the bullshit "offer" he sent to Loeffler last year and Oscar is playing the same game now.

Look at it this way - if Canelo vs Smith only does about 250k PPV and GGG does about the same vs Jacobs later this year, who's going to be the A side between GGG and Canelo when they meet, and why should GGG accept less than 50% of the money?

unfortunately the turnout was that Pac made a little more money, but lost his legacy fight.

All the weight draining that Canelo has been doing could shorten his prime. Look what happened to Chavez Jnr. He was over the hill before hitting 30.

You didn't explain why it's was a bs offer....and to answer your question, Alvarez would still be the A side because Golovkin hasn't done over 150k as the clear A side. Golovkin should accept less that 50% because Alvarez did 400k with Khan who brought zero ppv fans to the table. If K2 projects that Trip will be bigger as a ppv draw by next year, by all means they should wait, but it's a gamble because he has multiple mandatories coming up that may dim his star with a bad showing.

Not sure what is worse, the fact this fight looks like it will drag on as long as mayweather v pac, with each camp saying he said she said bla bla bla.

Or the haters and nerds arguing TMZ style about it for 100 pages.

[livershot73]

If they were lying about the 10 mil+ offer don't you think Golovkins team would have said so? Loeffler, Sanchez and Golovkins manager have all gave responses and not one of them has denied the 10+ mil offer. I think it's safe to say it's real.

I believe Loeffler made a mention about noy negotiating through the press...whatever, let's just look forward to Sep 2017!
