Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Mayweather Deserves Catch-Weight, NOT Canelo!

[Omair]

Abel Sanchez, trainer of Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs), is very firm in saying that his boxer will not agree to any sort of catch-weight for anyone other than Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs).

Canelo is not being a diva. He is doing what a lot of other fighters have done when they have paid their dues. Canelo conceded money and weight to Floyd which was the right thing to do. He did the same to make the Cotto fight even though he was arguably just as big a draw last year.
Canelo has earned his spot and even though he is not a ODL, Pacquiao, or Floyd level star he is on a different level when it comes to GGG, who can't get a PPV date from HBO without Canelo. Let's face it, we may never see another cross over star like those 3 again with boxing becoming such a niche sport.
GGG and K2 seem to think that they can skip this step and make demands they haven't earned. The consistent pattern we have seen is K2 letting fights slip away because they think they are a big star. Fighters with options balk at what they can offer and they end up fighting guys with ankle bracelets on or having to travel to a welterweights home town to make a fight.
Said it before and ill say it again, fight only happens on Canelo's terms, he doesn't need GGG. BBB side needs him.

[Canelo and GGG]

Sanchez is ***** ,he dont deserve CW with Ward or Froch too, Canelo can fight in CW anybody he wants and GGG can go fight Heiland LMAO

I agree with you, but you gotta take another factor in, Canelo's name was huge when he made concessions to fight Floyd, Pacquiao name was huge when he did it too.

Canelo is nowhere near the level of stardom Mayweather had, but neither Golovkin is near the level of stardom Pacquiao had nor Canelo.

If "I'm not businessman" really wants the fight he wil have to concede.................not the other way around.

Are you trying to say 97,000 PPVs isn't hugely successful?!

[Metho_4u]

Ward, Hopkins, & Gabe Rosado tried to tell y'all about GGG's people. But they was just hatering

That's because golovkin is now known to be OVERRATED!!

[Metho_4u]

I will take the former LOL. I am ok with guys fighting at their optimal weights.
If Canelo's is 155 or 158 now cool. And Golovkin's 160 that's cool too.

I just don't want to see something like DLH-Pac or Ward-Dawson coming out of this.

I get Sanchez's original point about Mayweather. That's huuuge money. I remember after Roy Jones fought Tito he's like I will go down for DLH. Ha ha ha.

But even if Floyd were willing to fight GayLoveKin, look at his previous opponents money...it was good, but not all of them were huge stars, 3-5 million for multiple, Cotto, Manny, Hatton, all got more, but we're bigger fights, Maidana did pretty good. Golovkin has fought no one, I doubt Floyd would offer him close to, let alone 10 million. Not to mention GayLoveKins little tiny gloves would be a no go. Floyd would be picking his gloves for him.

Name a better 160 lber then.

Cant believe idiots on here still brining up WARD and even efin' FROCH.
Ward recently stated him self that the fight would NEVER HAPPEN. FROCH never had intentions to fight GGG period it was his twitter fart.

Yet we see these punknello azz eaters constantly bringing up these two whenever red headed b-tch gets her skirt pulled in the media.

Shame on you!

It would never happen you are right. It wouldn't make that much sense if it did either. Floyd's too old now.
