Canelo/Gomez should be using the the Golovkin/Saunders fight as a promotional tool where he'll fight the winner.
If GB was so bound and determined to fight Golovkin, they'd be fighting him in May instead of saying September.Comment

Gomez wasn't even talking about injuries, he was just talking about not having enough time for promoting. It's a garbage excuse b/c a Golovkin/Saunders fight builds more exposure than Golovkin going on bunch of interviews, that'll he'll likely be able to do anyways after Saunders.

If that's what he meant, promotion issues, then he's right look at all the promotional events they've had for Chavez/ Canelo while the fight is still a long ways from happening.Comment

Canelo's own promoters - Dela Hoya & Hopkins fought separate fights in June '04, that lead to their big fight in September '04. Nobody knew who Felix Sturm with his WBO title or who Robert Allen were.
And with Canelo fighting in May, that mean there's a month's difference between Canelo/Chavez & Golovkin/Saunders, they're not missing out. They probably wouldn't even start promoting Golovkin/Alvarez til 2-3 weeks after Canelo/Chavez, which means they'd only miss 1-2 weeks of this promoting.Comment

Exactly. Putting your plans on hold and waiting for other fighters is exactly how we got the brook fight which people were crying about despite it making perfect logical senseComment

Fights sell fights.

They had no problems bypassing an end of the year fight to make the Jacobs fight.Comment

They did have a problem waiting on Jacobs, that's why they're saying they're not waiting on people anymore. Golovkin's upset he only fought 2x last year b/c of Jacobs & Canelo. He waited on Canelo negotiations during the 1st quarter of the year costing him a fight.
I can't understand why fans would be opposed to Golovkin fighting in June and again in September. He has no history of injuries, and BJS isn't expected to beat him. Yeah there's always a risk of injury, but that happens just as often in training. Canelo had his Clottey fight canceled from training injury.Comment
