Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Canelo-Golovkin WILL Happen, This Ain't May-Pac!

[deathofaclown]

Yeah, it could take less time and still happen in 2019.

You are right hopkins! May vs pac sold almost 5 million ppv! Canela vs lil g wont even sell 2 million hahahah! Spot on bernard!

it will fill out a venue, but it wont even do 1 million if they make it in 2016

I'm glad BHop called the GGG-Brook fight as it was, an exhibition... This fight shouldn't be that hard to make. Only reason it is taking so long is because Canelo is the draw and he is likely to lose. I don't think Canelo is that good, so this fight doesn't carry the level of May Pac intrigue, even though that fight wasn't exciting.

"It won't take as long as Mayweather-Pacquiao" = code for "we'll only delay the fight six years, not nine."

"GGG is a puncher so he'll still be dangerous no matter how old he is" = code for "this is our excuse after we wait six years to fight him, that because he's a puncher, we can't be accused of waiting for him to get old, because uh... punchers don't get old... you believe me, right boxing fans???? Please??? Please accept this spinjob so we can protect Canelo while still getting the big PPV money in 2020???"

So transparent.

It'll happen next fall.

Sending out another Golden Boy mouthpiece to contradict the obvious.De La doesn't want that fight.He'll be broke/out of business by year end 2017 if it happened.

[Joe Beamish]

Didn't Mayweather/Pacquaio take like 5 years? I guess BHOP is saying "give this 4 years, yes we'll make the fight by then."

I tend to agree. I don't see Canelo manning up by 9/17.

Someone remind Hopkins that Pac-may was the fight that DID happen.

Took about 4-5 years.


Its been atleast 2 years now that we have been talking Canelo-GGG, add in another for fall 2017, They are closely reaching pac-may status and thats IF the fight even gets made in the first place.

De La hoya and the other principals stand to make millions when the fight takes place. How does that make him "broke"? Moreover, GBP has a stable of solid young fighters. Don't hold your breath until GBP goes out of business.
