Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Yearns For More Activity, Four Fights in 2017

[therealpugilist]

GGG has had an easy road thus far in his career. Please stop acting like the bar is being raised for him because he has a "pale complexion". If anything, his "pale complexion" is the reason his fans rank him so high p4p without him ever having defeated a top tier opponent.

Stop this white victimhood BS. GGG has a resume that isn't worthy of his skillset. Someone like you that has history in the sport knows this.

Diehard boxing fans just want to see him fight a quality opponent instead of the bums he has been fighting, thats why people suggest the DeGale/Jaack winner or Ramirez. The reason Haymon fighters are mentioned is because it's clear GBP doesn't want him to fight Canelo and most know Lara or Charlo and not the obscure European names mentioned.

you got to be blind not to see it


come on now.....when has there ever been a great"black" hope? great "mexican" hope

whites live vicariously through this man....as ******ed as it is, its true and the man is asian...bwahahahahhahahhaa


GGG literally has the thinnest resume of any fighter I've seen whose been in the p4p list for as long as he has......dont you have to beat ELITE competition first sheesh

[Shadoww702]

agreed.....why fight 3 no names and one decent fighter...when he can fight one decent fighter then fight an elite one.....quality>quantity

If the money was there I would LOVE to see fighters fight 4x a year but it's not as well get 4 low quality fights instead. I say save the $$$ for better fighters. I buy PPV fights all the time though.

he has been on a canned food diet longer than my neighbors cat.....

[Graz]

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

From your mouth to God's ears. We can only hope for that agenda.

Dude again, 2 out of the 4 fights are on PPV, PPV fights dont take money out of the HBO budget.
Also keep in mind, IF he fights Canelo in september, and IF he wins the fight, at that point he will probably be a PPV fighter only.
Therefore, the december fight should also be on PPV.
==> Only the hypothetical fight between the jacobs and Canelo fight will get funded from the HBO budget.

But, only if everything will work as planned, GGG could lose, get injured or die, but as you see his wish to fight 4 times shouldnt concern the HBO budget at all.

I couldnt agree more. But I also know that in all my years in the industry, I have never seen a unified champion have such difficulty getting the other top fighters in his division to face him. Even guys like Wink, PWill, etc didnt have it this bad.

When it takes $3 million bucks (or therebouts) just to get a relatively obscure (to casuals) mandatory challenger to face you, then the fact is you are being avoided. Sure, Loefflers reluctance to play hardball definitely contributes to the issue, but the cat is being ducked, plain and simple.

[al-Xander]

dont know if you are sarcastic, but which fighter on a championship level under arum, dibella or don king fights 4 times a year?

Since he had his first showcase on hbo against proksa in 2012.
He had
4 fights in 2013
3 fights in 2014
3 fights in 2015
2 fights in 2016, the december ggg jacobs date was scratched, because they couldnt get on the right terms.


Boxrec p4p top 20:

Alvarez 2013-2016: 2,2,2,2 fights
Pacquiao: 1,2,1,2
Crawford: 3,3,2,3
Thurman: 3,2,2,1
Frampton: 2,2,2,2
Lara: 2,2,2,1
Ward: 1,0,1,3
Kovalev: 4,3,2,3
Gonzalez: 3,4,3,2
Garcia: 2,2,2,2
Porter: 3,2,2,1
Stevenson: 4,2,2,1
Jacobs: 2,2,2,1
Brook: 2,2,2,2
Khan: 1,2,1,1 (lol)
Bradley: 2,2,2,1
Jermall: (7),3,3,2
Ortiz: 2,2,3,3
Lomachenko: 1,3,2,2

So the only boxers who have more or as many fights as golovkin in the last three years were kovalev, Gonzalez and Jermall Charlo.

So where are all the 4 times a year boxer under arum, dibella and king?

I don't know what's your point in this. None of those other fighters you listed want to fight four times a year. Most of them would rather fight 1-2 times a year.

Golovkin wants four times. Loeffler just couldn't do it. He should be talking to as many promoters already for GGG's fight after Jacobs. Talk to Lara people, Eubanks, Charlo called him out. Loeffler is wasting too much time.

So how do you come to the conclusion that King, Arum and Dibella could stage 4 fights for him? Do you have recent examples?

With the modern boxers being known as buisnessmen first and boxers second.
More fights should result in more money? You really think some of these 1 fight a year guys wanted to fight only once?
Examples like Thurman, Lara and Jacobs were like:
I dont want to get another payday and double my yearly income, because:

phase 1: Fight once a year
phase 2: ???
phase 3: maximum profit

lol

Bro, Dibella, Arum, King don't have stars who want to fight four times! You still don't get it. It's always been up to the fighter.
