stop making excuses

have some faith in Golovkin

he may not get beaten up by a fat red kid with freckles

Maybe not, troll, we'll see.

K2 and Loeffler were both quoted last year saying the mandatory % was a good starting point and if its a 50/50 fight it should be a 50/50 split etc...

Its called negotiation. If you're right about the purse split (and I am pretty sure you are) GGG's team was just playing hardball. They knew that if they couldn't come to an agreement it would go to a purse bid and they would get half the bid. That last statement is key because purse bids don't affect PPV splits. Most purse bid fights don't end up in a PPV. They would still need to negotiate those splits afterwards.

As for the fight. Some people like myself never thought it would happen. Some extremely pessimistic people thought it would only happen once GGG got old and started to show his age. They may be right. But you know what. At this point I am just happy its happening. The contracts have been signed and the deal has been made. This is a case of better late than never. Lets appreciate this for what it is. The biggest middleweight fight the division has seen in years.

And lets also give Canelo props. Sure he acted like a b!tch for a long time but he didn't need to make this fight. He could have made millions fighting bums and still have the love of his fans. But finally he stepped up. Celebrate that.

People act like Golovkin has aged five years.
The fight was in demand for Sept 2016 and now we'll get it Sept 2017.
The way it is here, its like Golovkin has been waiting 5 years.

exactly its barely gonna be a year but these ggg fans act like ggg called him out when he made his hbo debut or something

[Kazeki]

So you think he is in his prime?

So you're saying a year ago he was in his prime? Cause thats when it was originally set to take place

[Verus]

at this stage Canelo and the jacobs rematch are the only viable options for him. Should he beat both, he should definitely retire. I think charlo is going to be an interesting mix at mw but he hasn't done anything at that weight yet.

Charlo has a lot going for him, size, athleticism and power!

One thing is sure: GGG will be throwing shots! Not like Chavez..

[PunchyPotorff]

Shut up Canelo. You dropped the belt and pushed this **** back further and further. Just be glad you have your shot at redemption.

NOT avoiding the fight, bozo. Just promoters finding the best opportunity, bozo. Wake up GGG-Bozos.

Canelo haters: Canelo/GGG fight is happening! Admit you were wrong! Stop feking whining, you bozos!

[PunchyPotorff]

come on man, you gave us ever reason to believe that. to be honest i still have dobuts you would have took the efight if it wasnt for the intense criticism, its got to the point where your reputation would be better off by taking the fight and getting sparked out by golovkin, than continuing to avoid the fight.

So funny watching the Canelo haters scramble for some reason, ANY reason... to keep hating Canelo. And I'm sure when Canelo counters and out boxers the shiii outta GGG, you GGG-Bozo Heddz will STILL whine. Geez, get a life or find another sport to grind on.

[PunchyPotorff]

Well I didn't say that. I said you would fight Golovkin when he's over the hill at about the age of 35-36. And what do you know, lol.

But I thought you GGG-aholics said nothing was wrong last fight, and that he beat the he!! outta Jacobs? So now he's all the sudden over the hill? Wow, you loooo-zzzuuurrrs are ridiculous.
