Comments Thread For: Arum Rips: Golden Boy's Flat Fee Offer To Golovkin is Bull****!

[Ake-Dawg]

Just like the old days the CHAMP was willing to travel and not always fight in his backyard, GGG NEVER fights in his backyard unlike guys of today what he did was reminiscent of what the greats like Muhammad Ali would do, Canelo isn't capable or brave enough to do that.
B-side... No, you're not B-side when you're more recognized, hold all the main titles and were the one to force the suppose to be "A-side" to dump his belts and drop down a division to fight an unheard of opponent

Damaging your body this bad just to avoid fighting guys your own weight?
Pathetic.

A side will always be the fighter who brings the most money to the table. If both are equal earners then the belts matter. This is prize fighting. Also, Golovkin is not more recognized. The chatter on websites doesn't equate to recognition when it's hardcore fans commenting. Lastly, in the old days they staged fights all over to maximize revenue or to escape various federal and state requirements. Otherwise you wouldn't have two Americans fighting in Tokyo or Manilla.

Who is scared of who?? Remember this ... It was canelo who gave up the belt to avoid a mandatory bout with GGG ... Period ...!! What mexican fighter gives up the very thing that is most cherised to any prizefighter... It shows the character of the man so stop all this bullsh..!! Oscar is scared and he is making canelo into a joke !!

[Gustavo67]

Are u ****...! Serious ???? GGG should bend over and meet all demands..???? I hope you never become a negotiator for a living !! First of all canelo is not the absolute A side.... His PPV #'s are dropping fast , second he is not moving up to 160 , he is actually bigger and walks around at 175lbs!! And last , GGG. Is the champ at middleweight and the best fighter in the world , so I suggest if canelo wants to regain all those fans tjat left him, he should be the one to bend over...

[Triple Genius]

Canelo like an A- side

[Scipio2009]

I disagree.

fair enough

[krazyn8tive]

told yall the coward ggg doesnt really want to fight, typical Kazakhstan cowards met 100 of them all cowards.

Your hero vacated a belt to avoid a mandatory. That is the definition of being a coward. Period.

Which opponent would Canelo make as much money off apart from GGG, I can't see him making anything near what he and GGG would bring in fighting each other, anyone want to throw in any alternatives, this is a simple case of dragging GGG age out as long as they can

Outside of Cotto, there's not a current fighter 154-168 who would reject $10m to fight Alvarez, let alone $5m.

The simple fact that Golovkin seems to be eyeing something at least near $15m, drastically limits the kind of money that Alvarez can make on the matchup whenever it happens.

Because, let's be clear here; $15m to Golovkin and $15m to Alvarez would necessitate the event having to do nearly $70m in revenue to cover everything ($10m as the site fee, $60m on PPV), a projection that already tops the business that Cotto-Alvarez did.

The fight could literally do the numbers that ODLH-Mayweather did and Alvarez, after paying Golovkin a purse (after he's already rejected $10m), still wouldn't make $50m.

get over yourself

Golovkin never fights in his backyard, because he couldn't make $200k for staging a fight in his backyard. Sergey Kovalev didn't fight in Canada twice, because he relished going to Montreal; he went North because fighting in Canada was literally worth 5 times the money that he got for selling 1000 tickets in Vegas.

Ali traveled the world because he was a world attraction, who commanded top dollar from anyone looking to stage a fight with him.

Alvarez's New York debut (literally the first time that he was ever going to fight in NYC) was going to be in the big room at MSG, a stage that it literally took K2 four NY fights to be confident enough to stage. gtfoh

vacted a belt to a weigth class he never fought in, but the coward ggg refused to fight him at the same catchweight the coward lil g wanted to figth rosado at, the same catchweight lil g wanted to put the title on the line at lmfao.

So ggg had no problems at all when the opponent was rosado but once the oppenent was THE GREAT CANELOLUJAH he all of a sudden had a lil "This is boxing, respect boxing" speech.

lmfao you fools support a coward. Canelo gave up the belt cause he had no intention at that time to move to 160 but he still told GGG they can fight at the catchweight and ggg turned it down lmfao.

Remeber this fight only hasnt happened cause GGG hasnt agreed to it happening.

Listen up ******...you cross that threshold from 154 to "155"...that is not a weight class in and of itself. You are now fighting as a middleweight. If you can't take the heat, gtfo of the kitchen. There is no 155 pound title. It's a middleweight title. Defend it or don't...but please stfu along the way.
