Once GGG unifies and beats Canelo, Media/Fans will clamor for Ward/GGG

Just like all champions, once GGG hits the pinnacle of his MW reign, people will clamor for him to challenge the higher weights accumulating in a Ward fight (if Ward beats Kovalev, and I hope he does).

GGG as unified MW champ, SMW champ, would be a huge fight against Ward who would be one of the top p4p fighters. GGG would be too after he best Canelo.

I hope it's something along these lines: Jacobs, Suanders, Canelo, Zurdo, Degale, and Ward.

They will over GGG $10 million guaranteed with a token 10% PPV upside and I think K2 takes that offer for September. Both guys fight between May and June and we get it next year.
Only way the fight doesn't happen is if K2 and GGG think they are big stars and try and get more money, which won't happen. GGG deserves to be treated fairly and the offer I listed above is more than fair for the draw that GGG currently is. I said it the day after the Cotto fight GGG deserves the fight but only on Canelo's terms. I think it will end up happening this way in the end.

GGG isn't A-side, but anything less that 70/30 would be an insult and k2 would rightly demand more. And they'll get the media backing if they do. That gives Canelo a 40% favor over GGG. That is about right.

Uniquehump is a GGG troll. Here are the facts.*Boxing Superstar and Unified Middleweight World Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin’s, (36-0, 33KO’s), fifth round stoppage of previously undefeated UK Superstar, “The Special One” Kell Brook, (36-1, 25KO’s) was viewed by a combined 1,436,000 viewers on HBO World Championship Boxing this past Saturday, September 10, marking it as the most watched HBO boxing event in 2016 and the highest rated HBO international boxing telecast in many years viewed live by 843,000 fans and same-day rebroadcast by 593,000 viewers.

The thrilling victory by Golovkin was also viewed live on TV Azteca by 1,560,000 viewers in Mexico on Saturday afternoon. Golovkin’s fights are broadcast in over 100 countries which all reported strong viewership numbers for this event.

Golovkin’s 23rd straight knockout and his 17th world title defense took place at The O2 in London, England in front over a capacity crowd of over 19,000 fight fans as he retained his WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO Middleweight World Titles.

????? Hmmm. Don't know what you're talking about. I like GGG more than Canelo. I like Mayweather more than I like Pac. I like Ward more than I like Kov. The thing is, I like all of them because I love boxing and can care less about who won or lose as long as they fight. I've never made a secret about who I root for and if my favorite is in the wrong, I always voice it. I simply responded to someone who said that they would fly out of State to see a fight and because they are from Michigan, I was letting that particular person know that I'm from Michigan also by saying I would fly out of Michigan too to see that fight. Maybe you confused me with another person. But if you have time, like some of the other posters do, you'll see that I am a fan of GGG and was only going to pick Brook because of the betting odds against him.

They could probably sell tickets to this meeting and put it on tv with decent numbers.


Seriously, if Jacobs/Golovkin goes ppv, they should wait and see how the numbers compare to Alvarez's recent fight.
