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

[asgarth]

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.

You dont get it. You cant use an argument without backing it up. lol
Why do you come to the conclusion that Dibella, Arum and King (Who is irrelevant right now) can provide golovkin with 3-4 fights? That was my initial criticism.

I cant just made a statement like "Golovkin should go to caribe prormotions (who are incompetent), because Loeffler cant deliver 4 fights a year" without using examples where I can justify my statement.

And in the same breath, you just made a statement, which I questioned, because there are no instances to back your claim up.

And: "They dont have fighters who want to fight 4 times, but if they had, they totally would provide them with the opportunities" is not a valid argument."

Jacobs in March (will be tougher than expected) and he will not fight again until Canelo in September.

I hope "he"=Jacobs.

True! All you have to do is look at the P4P top 5-6 and you got a guy in there who best win is Lemuix and the other one Inactive Walter! I mean neither one of those guys were ever even thought of as P4P worthy. And those 2 are put in over guys that put in some SERIOUS WORK!!! Don't get me wrong they pass the eye test and might deserve such high rankings but they haven't EARNED those ranking just yet.

imagine if they had the resume of Tim Bradley, Danny Garcia, Khan, Ward, Cotto,Yamanaka, Pacquiao, Canelo......they'd be hyped as the greatest ever....best p4p..hell pac and ward are the only ones on most lists

Loma is has the talent and its sad in 8 fights he has a better resume than GGG...same amount of champions defeated....moved up has titles in 2 divisions and has shown he will take risks.....K2 and GGG need to get on board

No the 4 fights a year thing has to go out the window when you're fighting elite competition.

Yes more ggg

Why was Canelo vs. Lara "doable," but not GGG vs. Lara? If you're about to say that Lara wants more money for GGG than he got for Canelo, please provide a link because I have not read that anywhere.

Can't remember what Lara earned from that fight, the problem is before that fight Lara wasn't fighting bums via PBC for 1.5 million, Haymon as payed these fighters very big purses for fighting nobodies and that ain't good for the model.

Surely Lara will come with something like, I'm the best guy GGG has ever fought, I even have 2 controversial loses which would put me undefeated.

Lara ain't fighting GGG for less than 3.5 almost guaranteed, and unless GGG goes the PPV rout that ain't possible.

Let's see how GGG vs Jacobs does on PPV, that will say a lot about GGG next foes, the moment GGG attracts good numbers that moment he won't have problems drawing fighters to fight him.

I don't care if I lose to you, I'm gonna get paid great so there's no problem.

Fighters who want to fight 4x a year are very rare in this sport. Point is, if your current promoter couldn't deliver and take advantage of it, then you have to change course and start implementing some changes like being able to fight in any network, not just HBO, purse adjustments, etc. Bottom line he could at least try.

yep, if you fight from 154-168 and you are interested in getting knocked out, then give golovkin a call. Cause thats what he does

[therealpugilist]

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.

why so quiet now?

are you one of the native born americans of Europeans descent that made him your "white hope"

dude is asian....also last time i checked only thing fans want to see is a monster, most feared, p4p top 5 in the world actually take a friggin risk.......more activity dont mean shyt if its against the Wade's, Adama's, Ishida's of the world

save your pity party for another forum.....his "pale" skin benefits him.......idiots like you make excuses for him, hbo makes excuses for him, yet you same people complain about who other more accomplished fighters are lined up to fight

get his Jizz off you chin and use your brain.....he wont be considered a great fighter until he proves it in the ring

you can do all the damage control you want but this man has been on HBO 3 years and look at his resume....the worst of any p4p entrant who has been there years...you know its the truth

For the first time since 2012, unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) will be fighting just twice in a calendar year. Golovkin, who is scheduled to face Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) on March 18th at the Madison Square Garden, will try and rectify that in 2017.

Jacobs will give his old ass more activity than he wants.
