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

[yankees7448]

He could have signed the Canelo fight before he fought Jacobs, the offer was there. Golovkin full of shit again.

He could have fought Canelo if Canelo didn't pu$$ out, drop the belt and run back to 154. All this bull***** about Golden Boy giving an offer that GGG didn't accept is horse*****. They gave him something they knew he would turn down so they could try and save face because the world saw Canelo call GGG into the ring, challenge him and then give up the belt without a fight.

Insider? It was well known that the offer was there waiting for Golovkin to accept.

It was well known that there was an offer. But the only specifics came from the side that demanded a catchweight, a flat fee and gave up the belt rather than fight GGG. I.E: The side that is full of ***** and was ducking the fight.

I mean, for ****s sake. The guy who you're treating like a reliable source is the same a$$hole who whined about the Mayweather/McGregor fight being bad for boxing even though video exists of him eagerly talking about matching up Conor with Canelo.

There was no catchweight in the offer. He gave up the belt because the purse bids would have given Golovkin 45%.

Why didn't Golovkins team deny the claims, if they weren't true?

Golovkin also said he'd be willing to fight Canelo at a CW in the past but then changed his mind.

It wasn't DLH that revealed the 15 mil offer it was the vice president of Goldenboy.

So what is it? You carried him or he gave you good learning experience cuz it can't be both guy. GGG is a fùcking liar and I'm dying to see his charrypicking asś lose.

McNulty? change your name to Bubbles ASAP ya crackhead

First of all, it would have only been 45% of the purse bid and not 45% of the PPV split. Secondly, you are pointing out this tidbit to justify Golden Boy not taking a fight and yet criticizing GGG for not taking a fight because his side didn't like the terms. This is what is commonly referred to as a double standard. Hold everyone to the same standard or shut the **** up.

Because maybe some people don't like to play he said she said in the media. Calling the promoter of the fighter who may bring your own fighter the biggest and most high profile fight he could possibly get at this point in his career full of ***** in public is not a very good negotiating tactic.

Golovkin also said he'd be willing to fight Canelo at a CW in the past but then changed his mind.

I dunno. Maybe circumstances have changed. I.E: An older fighter may not have the ability to drop down in weight without adversely affecting his abilities whereas a fighter who is a little younger is affected less.

Not a double standard. Golovkin didn't deserve 45%. Everyone knows that. 5x your highest pay day is a great offer. Can you name any other fighter that turned down 5x their highest pay day?

But this is all deflection. The fact is there was an offer there before Golovkin fought Jacobs. If Golovkin would have accepted the fight would have still happened regardless of if he had KO'd Jacobs or not.

Highlighted in bold for your pleasure!

Didn't he say that with Brook too then he denied it after? Seems to be a pattern with GGG when he looks like áss.

No, he didn't say he carried Brook and he isn't saying he carried Jacobs either.

Truth is .. you have to find a reason to shit on GGG for every damn thing he says or does, and if you can't find a reason, you just pull one out of your arse.

The rule giving a WBC interim champ 45% of the purse in the event of a purse bid was removed in 2014.

GGG's entitlement would have been the same as a regular mandatory challenger.

The WBC amended their rules on purse bid splits again in 2016.

http://www.boxingscene.com/wbc-annou...esults--101763

10% held in escrow to be paid to the winner. 70% of the remainder to the champ and 30% to the mandatory challenger

GGG would only have got 45% of the purse if the council, by a majority vote, decided that he deserved it.

So far as I know, that didn't happen. If anybody has evidence that it did happen, please post it here.

[Ake-Dawg]

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

How do you know he got a better seal than the one offered before the Jacobs fight?

The rules don't state that. We've been over this many times.

I posted links with Sulaiman himself saying the split is 55-45 for interim vs champion and you still chose to ignore it.

You're a ******ed liar.
