Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Golovkin is The One Who is Running - Not Canelo!

[eco1]

Really?

Ha!

What did you put?

I told him that every time he opens his mouth it seems to me that the sport is ran by apes.

And if he really wants the fight, to go make it happen instead of talking to the press and doing quite the opposite of what he says.

[robertzimmerman]

aboutfkntime,

Golovkin low-balled both of those guys, so it appears like he doesn't want to fight them..... I would just about bet my left testicle that Canelo will fight both of those guys before Golovkin does.

You were there were you?

Jacobs wanted 40%.

They then tried to reach a compromise working back from that figure.

If it goes to purse bids it's 25% and now Jacobs all of a sudden wants 10-12 weeks preparation.

Yes, BJS wasn't offered a lot of money last year, but he wasn't their main priority at the time. A fight in the U.K. would be big.

What options does Golovkin have ?

Forget Saunders, because he is obviously waiting for Canelo, and it looks like the Jacobs/Golovkin fight is about to fall over..... so, what options does Golovkin have ?

The only way the Jacobs fight doesn't get made is if Jacobs vacates.

Eubank would be an option.

BJS is also an option.

If BJS beats Canelo, he'll be the priority.

If Canelo beats BJS, it takes him out of the equation for both guys.

If GG-Canelo couldn't reach a compromise to fight, GG would have the option of moving up. Whereas Canelo could only fight CW's or MW's who would be no longer relevant.

That is absurd, you keep telling yourself that LMAO

That is absolute BOLLOCKS, and you know it

If Jacobs/Saunders are an option for Golovkin, then they are a bigger option for Canelo.

Reread the post.

Jacobs and Saunders would be options for Canelo if they hadn't already lost to GG.

If GG had beaten them, who would want to see Canelo fight them soon afterwards?

There would be zero interest in those fights, as the fans would be demanding a fight against GG instead.

You're not very bright.

pretty sure that Canelo will fight Jacobs/Saunders before Golovkin will..... Canelo will definitely fight Saunders first, you can book your tickets for that fight now..... that will definitely happen.

Canelo will fight Cotto next > Saunders > maybe Eubank.

By that time, he will be MUCH bigger than Golovkin..... who seems completely unwilling to participate in a tough fight.

Next year, when Canelo holds the WBO/lineal titles and a win over Jacobs, and Golovkin is in exactly the same position that he where is in right now..... GGG will have to take whatever he is offered, and it may not be 10mil LMAO

Realistically, how does he fight both BJS and Jacobs before GG?

Seeing as they're currently deep in negotiations, GG has to be the favourite to fight Jacobs first.

The WBO have notified BJS that he now only has to fight one mandatory, which he'll fight next month. So he'll be free to negotiate with early next year. If Canelo is out injured and he's going to fight Cotto first, that would give K2 time to try and negotiate for a fight.

[robertzimmerman]

Golovkin: "10 million isn't enough"

*Gives Jacobs a 25% split*

Wow!

And you can't see the HUGE difference in circumstances there?

Really?

Also, he hasnt given him 25%, they're still negotiating. But that's all he'd be entitled to from a purse bid in conjunction with the WBA's ruling.

[robertzimmerman]

Right, so according to you Golovkin had no interest in that fight, because he was "busy" at 160..... fighting Dominic Wade and Kell Brook LMAO

The contract was sent when K2 were tying up the Lemieux fight late last year, Einstein.

Have a think.

His priority was the winner of Cotto-Canelo.

Nobody knew how 2016 was going to play out.

[robertzimmerman]

" slow start " ?

he couldn't make a meaningful fight if his life depended on it

always an excuse, always a " good reason " NOT to fight

He's from Khazakstan dummy.

How many PPV's has he had with HBO?

Everyone's circumstances are different.

How can he make meaningful fights when guys are literally dropping their belts and running from him?

[robertzimmerman]

lil'G was unwilling to be a man of his word

they offered him that fight at 155, and he passed

Golovkin: " I am 160, he is 155 "
Canelo: " I am not ready to move to 160 "

so, lil'G proceeded to kick rocks, while Canelo moved on

during the latest negotiation Canelo conceded on the weight, and surprise surprise..... Golovkin wanted more money

I doubt that Golovkin will ever land a career-defining fight.

I'm not going through all of that **** with you again.

We've already done it about 5 times.

You're completely deluded. I know Canelo fans that don't even believe it.

[robertzimmerman]

I don't know how they feel about paying for fights over seas??? I have NO problem paying $$$$$ for GOOD, QUALITY fights!

I didn't buy Lemuix vs. GGG and I didn't even watch the Wade/GGG fight.

I bought Khanelo though. More to see Khan get Bambi-Legged more than anything. I did not buy Smiths fight.

Fights I would of bought...

GGG vs. Jacobs
GGG vs. Eubank (With a GOOD undercard only)
Canelo vs. Liam SMith (If had Lemuix/Saunders and Ortiz/Ustinov
I wouldn't of bought Brook/GGG unless it had a REALLY good card.

Fights I will NEVER buy

GGG vs ANY MW NOT named Canelo or Jacobs.
Same goes for Canelo
Canelo vs. Lara II

I WILL buy

Canelo vs. Andrade, either Charlo Bros., J-Rock, Cotto, Thurman.

I think could EASILY make 154 and fight Canelo (NO CW ONLY)
Bradley, Porter, Spence.

GGG vs. DeGale
GGG vs. Gilberto
Maybe GGG vs. Jack
GGG vs. Ward (In a HEARTBEAT)

That's fair enough.

I respect that.

I would also like to see Canelo fight Andrade etc, but I dont think it's realistic.

I would love to see GG fight DeGale in the U.K. at SMW.

[robertzimmerman]

like he did BUSTING his @ss promoting the Cotto fight. when Roc Nation did JACK SHT to help promote fight and it STILL did pretty good. I expect K2 to sit on their @sses like Roc Nation did.

Did K2 help promote the fight with Brook at all??? It didn't seem like it from the states they did much but put GGG in a car and have him there on-time.

The onus was on Matchroom to promote the fight. But it didn't really need much promoting. Everyone was in shock and they were very excited.

[robertzimmerman]

Yup! It would be more affordable and fan friendly in Texas. But greedy BASTARDS will have it in Vegas! Where tickets will be probably around $400 start. If any even available to the public.

Vegas definitely brings in more money, but I think Oscar's really pushing for the fight to be in Texas.

It's going to be interesting to see what unfolds.

[robertzimmerman]

ill laugh so hard if bbb side never gets the fight idiot.

Really?

Then I'd suggest following another sport.
