    Is Golovkin rude with the press from his country?

    I've read sometimes that he's rude with the local press. Or that he behaves badly to them, tells them to **** off, etc.

    How do you guys know? I wanna hear you...

    Why do you care? Golovkin can do no wrong according to you anyway.

    BTW did you see Kovalev tell that camera guy to "**** off" on HBO's "road to Kovalev vs Ward" show?

        Maybe? He probably feels he get more accolades from outside of his own country, that can get to or irritate any sport person.

          Interesting. Haven't heard anything about that. He seems really passive outside the ring.

          Where did this info come from?

            Did he say "*** off"? Either way I can understand more with kovalev, the press has been treating him like sht in the build up to this fight, i've seen numerous interviews where the interviewer is being obviously agressive or spiteful (there is also that interview with the guy playing a "joke") and they treat him like he's ****** for not knowing america is made up of a lot of hypersensitive btches. So I garner by the time he's out of the designated media zones he really doesn't want to talk to any of these guys.

              Nope. I've seen videos with him in the press. He's super nice.

                Nah, Golovkin's a pretty easy going bloke. Might've been Kovalev though

                  There's an interview out there from maybe 2 years ago. He says a few rude things to the interviewer, like: "you should make better questions" after he was asked by him why he wasn't that kind with the local press etc. So a few people took from there the impression that he wasn't the one he shows in the US.

                  The thing is that lately I was able to meet one girl from Kazakhstan, and she told me that he's very famous there and that he's kind with the press, not rude. At least that's what she told me.

                    He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'd be surprised if he was consistently rude. Could be that certain reporters gave him problems before so he's apprehensive toward them. I've seen that happen with boxers, and ohhh... Presidents.
