The ppv price will be substantially lower now.

If its O'Sullivan, I'm guessing $19.99.

If it's not canelo then I'd like to see boo boo or chenko

Free Clenelo! He's a Clen fighter.

It better not be Sullivan...but I disagree on the notice...if you are a pro, and you have this chance to fight the man and take his belts, you should gladly take the opportunity, unless you really are hurt (Saunders). They have had 6 plus weeks now to get ready for this.

Not sure, I'm sold that even 6 weeks isn't enough at this level.

Nobody really wants to see him fight someone like Spike etc...but what do you expect him to do? He's almost 36 and has been training for a fight for May 5th.

The fight is still 4 weeks away...if anyone else at 160 really wants the fight they should be pounding the table for it right now. They would have plenty of time to get ready...

Well, Andrade has been pounding:

Whether he deserves the fight or not, at least we'd get an idea of Andrade's level at 160 (no I was not overly impressed by his performance against Fox).

Meanwhile, we all can already imagine how Spike's face would look like after the beating GGG would put on him. The only purpose of a fight with Spike would be to re-establish "GGG as the monster" that HBO had created up until the Jacobs fight (Brook to some extent) (yes, GGG is pretty darn good and the number 1 MW).

I am probably GGG's biggest fan...and I admit I have almost zero interest in watching him fight someone like Spike, so I agree with you on that.

That being said, GGG's resume is actually really strong. He's
never ducked anyone, and fought about 15 good-great guys in his career, basically in that guy's backyard every time. He's dominated every fight, and knocked out all but two of them (when both Jacobs and Canelo basically went in to the fight thinking if they could survive 12 rounds with GGG they would be given the belts).

GGG should be afforded an easy fight based on his resume...but with his age and possibly only have a few more years/fights left, he can't afford to not have big fights right now either.

Hopefully Saunders steps up, I think most people would like that. Only other one I'd really be interested in at 160 would be Charlo, but I don't think Charlo really wants it right now. He should be given a couple fights at 160 to get acclimated to the division imo.
