I can certainly see where Abel and Loeffler were coming from there. If a fighter is chasing a fight with another guy in a lower division, isn't it usual - and fair - for him to be willing to move down, like Dawson did with Ward, or at least, be open to a catchweight? Especially if the bigger guy is not a draw, and offers zero financial incentive to tempt the smaller guy into moving up for him.“GGG is now clearly the ‘A’ side yet Ward still would want to dictate terms, which makes no sense,” Loeffler said to ESPN. “GGG would fight Ward on a 50-50 basis, the best 160-pounder versus the best 168-pounder [at] 164 [and] a 50-50 split on all proceeds. But it seems like Ward needs more tuneup fights.”
"We don't need Ward. Golovkin doesn't need Ward. Dawson needed Ward. The fact that he made Dawson come down to 168 kind of irks me. When [Golovkin's promoter] Tom [Loeffler] said 50-50, and me and Tom talked about it, he meant 50-50 all the way across. That was the reason why I said 50-50 and 50-50 means 164 - right in the middle. If they want the fight, come to what Golovkin is aking for," Sanchez told BoxingScene.com
I can't post links because of low post count, but these are quotes from boxing scene articles in regards to comments by GGG's camp.
Even so, those were hypothetical comments about a hypothetical situation, as when Rigo was talking about he and Loma meeting midway on the weight, at 126.
And when Loeffler got an offer from Ward to fight at 168 in the summer of 2016, he didn't demand a catchweight. He told Ward that if he wanted to fight GGG at 168, he would have to wait till 2017, because Golovkin would be busy at 160 till then.Comment

Lol. I love seeing you getting all steamed up at this place!
Golovkin's Promoter:
We'd Fight Ward at 164, 50-50 Split.....
Promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, who handle IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), says a fight can certainly be worked out with WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs). But the deal would have to be under Golovkin's terms and not dictated by Ward. Loeffler feels Golovkin has surpassed Ward as a ticket seller and in terms of name recognition - making GGG the A-side of the negotiations.
Golovkin's Coach:
Andre Ward Must Go to 164 or No Fight.....
Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, has made it absolutely clear that he's not going to budge from his position that a potential fight with Andre Ward will only happen if Ward - the recognized champion at super middleweight - is wiling to meet them halfway at a catch-weight of 164-pounds. Golovkin and his team received more than their fair share of heat in recent days, after placing a catch-weight demand on a potential fight with Ward. The reason for the heat, is because Golovkin was willing to fight both Carl Froch and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the full super middleweight limit.

It gives me a nice warm feeling of satisfaction thinking about your blood pressure rising while you **** away on the keyboard, filled with impotent, frustrated rage over a guy who doesn't even know you exist!Comment
