Comments Thread For: Hunter Says Canelo is Doing Golovkin Dirty With Flat Fee Offer

[Elroy The Great]

Canelo is running out of low risk-high profit fight options. His last big fight was against Cotto, and Cotto took a lions share.
Khan and Liam Smith showed progressively diminishing draws for Canelo. GBP is really lucky that Chavez Jr. decided to take the fight this time.
What is there for Canelo after that?
Rematches with Cotto, Chavez Jr or Lara? These are not megafights.
I guess fight for WBO title would be the most logical next step for Canelos career. Other than that every other fight would be high risk or low profit. So GGG fight would be very appealing for GBP.

after jacobs and not including caleno, who do see 3g fighting next ?

The really sad part is that I am hoping it isn't hype.

But, we will never know if Lil g keeps avoiding challenges.

Is danny jacobs not a challenge? Ggg has almost cleaned out the top of the middleweight division

when hunter defends ward hes a jerk defending a diva but when he defends geeGG its time to take heed

Canelo will fight Saunders in September for his WBO title

Golovkin refused Canelo's offer, Saunders will accept

GGG has refused a LOT of things during his largely uneventful career

good post !

but.....

Golovkin refusing to negotiate on weight with lil old faded 153lb Cotto..... was beyond bizarre

he was Golovkin's best possible payday

then, Golovkin did the exact same thing to Canelo

that is the opposite to what most fighters would do

BIZARRE !!


and yet, nobody batted an eyelid

#154-168doe

Yep.

Golovkin had no right to command anything in reference to Cotto, and he does not have one with Canelo.

Bear in mind that Loeffler said that Golovkin had no issues going down to 155 to fight Canelo before the Cotto-Canelo fight, and then when Canelo won he called Loeffler's bluff. When that happened, Golovkin team was like "oh hold on a minute we fight at the 160 limit!!!"

If not Canelo or BJS?
Eubank Jr, Chavez Jr would be financially on par or better fights than Jacobs.
Charlos and Andrade are potential PPV by the next year or two.
Murata can probably be very profitable event or PPV somewhere in Macau.
Ramirez or DeGale would also be PPV fights, when GGG decides to move up a little.
Most of this fights would be very risky for Canelo, not so much for GGG. So he has nice payday options besides Canelo.

He didn't call their bluff. When it was his turn, he folded. They didn't even bother making an offer, they vacated with body not ready, need 16 months excuse.

Canelo doesn't seem in a hurry or particularly interested to get that WBO belt. He may fight Saunders, but probably won`t pay much for his belt. The only really interested party in WBO belt is Team GGG. I believe they can offer even more money to BJS than Canelo.

I think you're right, they'd bring a bigger purse for Saunders though the risk is much worse. It's an awkward fight for Canelo whod struggle with Bjs movement, though he's guaranteed to get the decision. It'd also sell poorly, and Saunders would want way more than Canelo would give an opponent like that
