Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Golovkin Negotiations are Still Ongoing

I swear to god, if I hear Tom say "I've been in contact with Eric Gomez" one more time....

Fighters over valuing their worth has become a plague in boxing. That is why I am so grateful that Kovalev and Ward decided to get it on with NO nonsense regarding negotiations or money.

Preach! It seems like money never even came up as an issue while making this fight. With 3 belts on the line, Kovalev had every reason to try and "semi" cash out. To be honest, I've never heard about Kovalev haggling over money.

look at the slimy way that Team Golovkin have behaved..... K2 are notoriously difficult to negotiate with, manipulating the WBC into pressuring Canelo, requesting an early purse-bid to manipulate Jacobs.....

..... no way would/should GBP contractually obligate themselves to those asshats

Yeah, team GGG are notoriously difficult to deal with.

Whether Golovkin is a mandatory challenger or a defending champion, the slimy ****s insist on trying to manipulate guys into getting in the ring and fighting him, instead of talking, marinating, or signing contracts agreeing to do it in a years time. SMFH.

The suckers are the fans waiting for this fight. Good thing Canelos PPVnumber suck. Pacmans will suck too.

Lol. Kovalev and Ward negotiated for over a year before signing a contract to fight each other.

Well, Ward asked for tuneups which Kovalev's camp agreed to. Shortly after the tuneups were completed, the contract was signed and now we have a scheduled fight which should happen in a month. Once again, did the parties involved haggled over money at any point?

Duva and David Itskowitch, the former Roc COO, were talking to each other about Kovalev/Ward before Ward even had his first come-back fight against Paul Smith, and the fight is going to happen about 18 months after that. You can bet your life the first thing they started talking about was the money!

Fair enough Sir! Bottom line is: we have a fight in a month from now. Hopefully we can say the same thing about GGG vs Canelo next August.

September, at the earliest, according to Oscar. Hopefully, Canelo's next fight fight will bomb on PPV like the Smith fight, and Oscar will stick to his words this time.

"Tom ... pick up your phone when I call you next year"

Golovkin already turned down 10mil, DOUBLE what Canelo got paid for Mayweather..... so next year, he will obviously want much more..... despite the fact that his numbers are short, due to the fact that he will not gain the necessary exposure by fighting higher-level opponents..... such as Jacobs/Saunders/etc.

Golovkin has got to start making noteworthy fights, before he can demand a handout from PPV stars like Canelo.

It is unfathomable that the guy who could "beat anyone from 154-168" did not fight Cotto and Canelo.

Golovkin needs fights like Jacobs, if he wants to be relevant when it comes to Canelo.
