Comments Thread For: Golovkin: If I KO'd Jacobs, I Would Not Be Getting Canelo Fight!

Yes he could have gotten way less then his value. That doesn't count and you know it.

His value? It was 5x his highest pay day.

How do you know he didn't accept the same or less now? You don't you ******.

Oh yes... you so scary. pendejo

When he blows out Canelo what will your excuse be? It will happen and disrespectful peckers like you can go away.

The excuse will be an early stoppage ala McGregor or an undisclosed injury to his hand in training camp.

[LaBéstia]

He probably thinks he can KO Canelo hhaha.. easy win by Canelo by points...

This is dumb logic, and just more crap coming out of their camp. Anyone ever notice that Canelo and his trainers rarely go running to the first camera or recorder they can find and talk this mess, but GGG and Maebel Sanchez always do so. If you really want to get a gauge on actual fights likelihood of happening listen to the promoters not the Boxer and trainer and if you go back before their previous fights both Loeffler and Oscar said that the fight was gonna happen. Loeffler actually being the one saying this fight had to happen their was too much money involved and they both needed to win their upcoming fights to do so ( I'll point out that GGG by some accounts lost or drew to Jacobs, I thought GGG won it by winning the final round.)

So can we quit with the well this fight might now have happened crap. Well GGG you didn't knock Jacobs out and like I previously said won by the skin of your teeth. So if I were GGG and Sanchez I'd be more worried about cleaning some mistakes up rather than running to the press about the whether this fight was gonna happen or not.

Goldenboy insisted? How do you know it was Goldenboy?

Golovkins team have always been very secretive on financials and what he actually wanted to fight Canelo.

common sense. Who is the A side here? It's canelo so GGG's team wouldn't be in the position to demand negotiations dont get out. In an interview as recently as yesterday Oscar said that the fight didn't happen before because Canelo wasn't a middleweight. He says now he is ready for the mw division which is why they took the fight. At no point did he ever say financial demands, ppv split etc, was the hurdle.

And how do you know the offer was real?

And how can you know if it's less now, if the purse is variable depending on the PPV? assh0le.

Look at this ****. Of course they would be. Not revealing what Golovkin makes wouldn't be a big deal for Goldenboy to accept.

Goldenboy saying it and Golovkins team never denying it is evidence enough for me that it was real.

I didn't say it was less ******. It could be, because we don't know what he accepted. That was my point.

Golovkin had a true test in Jacobs, the 2nd best middleweight in the division. He was tested, went the full 12th, scored a knocked down, and managed to beat a tough opponent. Canelo fought a drained Chavez Jr. who just stood there like a punching bag and even then Canelo wasn't able to take him out. How in the world will Canelo take out a prime, full-fledged middleweight? Honestly I think Golovkin wins this by late stoppage. The pressure is going to be too much for Canelo.
