Why DAMNIT!!! Not the Dog Sht Quantity fights over Quality fights again??? I would rather them use their annual budget on two REALLY good/great fighters than 4 Peter Wades taxi driveing homeless bums...

Looks like it's back to finding fighters off Craigslist again. Sigh.

Doesn't K2 realize HBO isn't buying fights anymore??? I mean their budget is already stretched to the limit. That's why we're getting all these HBO PPV fights. No WAY they can afford to pay that many GOOD fighters to get into the ring with GGG so it's back to the 500K scrap heap looking for fighters.

Jacobs in March
Saunders in June
Canelo in September
Zurdo or Charlo in December

well **** once he beats those first 3 id like to see him challenge himself against a champ at 168 at that point theres nothing left to prove

Unless they're all PPV...

So you would prefer everyone to fight only 1 or 2 times a year? You should applaud established fighters wanting to fight more than 2 times a year.

Also... if everything works, 2 of the 4 fights will be against jacobs and Canelo. Both of these fights will be on PPV. Both of these fights wont take money out of HBOs boxing budget.

If he fights Canelo and Jacobs next year, for all I care he can fight cabdrivers inbetween. He still would have, if he wins, 2 signature wins.
If he sneaks in Saunders, Khurtsidze or Derevchanyenko even better.

The June fight is the tricky one! Can GGG go up to fight Zurdo Ramirez or the DeGale/Jack winner, and come back to 160 for a Canelo fight in September? I would love to see Lara get that June spot! It shouldn't be difficult because K2 is working with Haymon now!

Time is running out on ggg. He needs the Canelo fight. 15 mil will not be offered to him by any other fighter, more so, nobody offers the cash cow king of boxing and star label like Canelo does which is the real prize!

he will probably make 15 mil or more if he fights in kazakhstan

[GaryMSchneider]

GGG should stand his ground. The fight with Canelo will bring in well over 100 million dollars. The fifteen million that Oscar is offering GGG is an insult. It's simply another way for Canelo to duck GGG.

To be honest with you, every one should be fighting 3 or 4 times a year. Every fight doesn't need to be a big event. I would much rather see GGG fight a Wade in between Canelo and Jacobs instead of only fighting one or two times a year. Activity will always increase fan base.
