Maybe that's why GGG is desperate for Froch and Canelo! He needs them much more than they need him. Froch has already fought the best, and Canelo has already fought the best. GGG, not so much! Hope he doesn't price himself out of another fight! Who do you like in Ward vs. Kovalev?
    Nobody books Wembley stadium unless they are sure they can fill it. The price is too high. Of course GGG isn't as big as Froch in the UK, and neither is Kell Brook. Froch is an international superstar, everybody knows that! Only AJ comes close.

    Kovalev is going to beat Ward, I'm sure about that.

      So by your thinking, that means people mostly bought Floyd/Hatton to see Ricky, not Floyd, and Hatton could have done the same numbers against anybody. Correct?

          i think what he means is that people paid to see floyd lose and since floyd is a business man, he picked on a popular fighter, sold it as greatest fight ever.. and made money living off of other fighter's fan bases.. DLH, Gatti, Cotto, Paquiao, Canelo... because when he was the popular one like baldo or guerrero.. fights were 300k.. so no hatton wouldn't of done what he did with foney.. but he sure brought a lot to the table..

            i would almost agree with you.. since ward is probably going to pot shot and hold like crawford to a decision..

              this is clear as blue sky in sunny california gents... there's too many promoters, managers, accountants, trainers, boyfriends, girlfriends, advisers on here with fake accounts trying to justify both fighters on their stances.. the truth is GREED.. all team members want the most $$ out there.. Canelo see's confortable money fighting bums, while GGG see's crums fighting bums.. Canelo has the support of some mexican fans and therefore as long as he has the blind following and paying for **** fights.. he won't fight GGG.. GGG is a headliner, not attraction yet, but a headliner.. so he gets paid a lot and greed on his team wants more.. that's why canelo, and not Ward (who can't sell outside oakland) is who he's after.. Canelo refuses a high risk fight cause he's "cash cow".. so his team is going to milk the cow as long as possible.. cause there's a lot more options for him where he may not make a lot of money but fighting 2-3 Smiths and looking like he's legit will keep his fans paying, that would equal fightin 1 GGG with a good chance of losing.. and there goes his stature..

              I think they're both scared to lose.. and want to maximize their $$ reward in case of a loss..

              what's funny is Canelo calling out GGG and then turning around making all these demands.. 155, 10million.. but yet on fight night he outweighs GGG..

                So people who think that GGG is a real talent are racists?

                I think he's being avoided (Canelo is exhibit A). This means I'm a racist.

                Got it white and support Hopkins over Calzhage - not racist.

                White guy and support GGG - racist.
