This thread is dedicated to all of the lies this pole smoker has told. Feel free to add your own.
Lie#1
Let's start with Froch. That fight was supposedly offered to Carl at 168 HOWEVER, Froch says they tried to drain him and actually wanted 166. Carl counters their offer and says tell them 172 and I'll think about it. Interesting part is Loeffler then counters with 170
Hearn said to reporter Chris McKenna: “Carl text me and said ‘what weight would Golovkin fight me at?’ and I said ‘172lb’ and Loeffler said ‘170’.

Ultimately they tried to get him to 166....not even SMW, WHICH Carl admitted he could not make anymore.
Lie #2
Brook wanted the fight at 160 lbs.
That's interesting because just a few months before that fight was signed, Brook asked for a 156 or 157 catchweight, which was quickly shot down.
“I think he’s too small,” Golovkin said when asked by _________.com if he would be willing to fight Brook at a catch-weight of 157lbs. “My focus is on 160"
Lie#3 "Life changing money"
Saunders was offered "Life changing money" to fight golovkin. Turns out, it really wasn't life changing at all.
"Saunders abandoned the negotiations over money, saying he was only offered $1.5 million while others said it was much more".
"Billy Joe Saunders has played down reports he received a whopping $4m career high pay day offer to tangle with the feared Kazakh KO King Gennady Golovkin, who holds the IBO/WBA/IBF world titles.
“I’ll go to America but these Americans have got to stop offering me s*** money to fight, people keep saying I got offered $4m to fight him. If I got $4m to fight Golovkin, I would be fighting him!” explained Saunders".

Lie#4 "anybody from154-168"
http://www.boxingscene.com/loeffler-confirms-golovkin-fought-degale-168--107066
"But if Hearn would have offered up another fighter in the Matchroom stable, like DeGale - Golovkin would have gladly accepted the contest and moved up to super middleweight to challenge DeGale for his title.
A fight with DeGale would have been a one-off appearance at super middleweight. Win or lose, Golovkin would have moved back to 160-pounds to continue his pursuit of the WBO middleweight title, which is currently held by Billy Joe Saunders.
"If Eddie Hearn would have said to [Golovkin's promoter] Tom [Loeffler], when Eubank wasn't available, 'would you fight DeGale if DeGale was available' - we would have fought DeGale. But it just happened to be that [Hearn] spoke to Brook and Brook accepted - but we would have fought DeGale, at 168, because at that point it was nine weeks away from the fight," Sanchez told BoxingScene.com".
Brook happily accepted after there was no chance of getting a 157 lb catchweight. However, DeGale was there, and though from Golovkin's OWN MOUTH "brook is too small, he accepted that fight and wasn't willing to go up to 168 for DeGale...it just happened to be the too small guy first.
Remember, he was willing to drop to 154 for Floyd. He's not too small I guess even though he's much smaller than Brook.
Aren't facts fun?
