Comments Thread For: Golovkin Shakes Head at The Idea of Mayweather-McGregor

[Outwest Exp 355]

You really believe that?

I believe that. Hate is such a strong word.

we all know gg would fight mcgregor if he got offered too

This was always a freakshow fight. You know damn well MacGregor is gonna get his ass handed in boxing just like PBF would get murdered in an MMA match.

I couldn't agree more, bro. This is all about a couple of multi-millionaires (and their promoters) duping the public into spending their hard earned dollars with the express purpose of lining their greedy pocketbooks.

This so-called 'fight' is an insult to all of the hard working pro-boxers, MMA warriors, and their trainers and fans, who have the goal of bettering their lives by winning true championships. Most of these guys put their hearts and souls into their craft just trying to move up and attain decent pay days.

Support your local pro/amateur boxing and MMA events folks, to the betterment of both sports!

I'd sniff Rosie O'Donnell's underwear before ever spending a cent on this money fueled circus act.

McGregor is far from multi...

McGregor is far from multi...

It's not Mayweather money, but he's starting to touch a different tax bracket. They said he made 40 million dollars last year. If you have the much money whose really counting anymore? Hes not quite there yet, but he'll be getting a ton of opportunities this year with acting, and sponsors if that stuff with Mayweather comes off, and he might just become a "multi" millionaire as long as he keeps winning in the UFC.

I understand GGG was asked about this fight, it's not him just talking out of thin air. While I do not care about Mayweather vs McGregor, and would not buy the PPV, Golovkin should understand what that fight is about given the fact that he fought a WW at 160lbs for the sole purpose being that WW fighter was the biggest money fight available for both fighters. People shook their head at that fight. He can shake his head and call it a commercial show but he's already shown that for the right price he too would sign to fight in a circus match-up.

That's cause he wants the payday for himself. If any boxer had the opportunity to fight Conor they'd jump at it. Let's be real.

GGG and any fighter would jump on any big payday like that. Whether it's a big named MMA fighter calling him out for a boxing match, or Manny Pacquiao calls him out at 160. He'll say yes. It's really fake of him to start talking about commercial show, or big money show, or business show when we've already seen he's also human = He's all about the Benjamins. Nothing wrong with that, just be real about it.

Forget the ww, he fought a man on house arrest...

Actually it's straight forward business. For boxing fans it's as simple as slapping an MMA fighter for saying "I'm The Face Of Boxinn."

For MMA fans... probably kid comments like the one I'm replying to.

McGregor has way more heart than GGG. McGregor is willing to fight possibly the Goat in a boxing match while GGG wouldn't even move up 8 pounds and fight a top 5 lb for lb fighter in his own sport.

Nah. GGG can't bet Ward at 168. What's bothering is ggg's inconsistency. Says "Canelo disrespect to boxing, he too big," criticizing the 155 bout with Alvarez yet had no problem fighting Floyd or PAC at 154, and at the same tim calling Brook a clown for initially wanting a 157 catch. It's all on YouTube
