Why is GGG still waiting on Canelo and not trying to unify?

[Jsmooth9876]

Well they obviously must know Canelo will be available again in September. Why would they pass up on $20 million to fight BJS for probably a quarter of that. I don't care what you're chasing, you don't just pass up that kind of money. He's 36 now, he can't afford to give that kind of payday away

[mvooom]

us sensible folk in the know always knew his "unification dream" was just a joke to avoid fights they didnt want to fight

Yup! And he really hammered on that point when Ward's name was brought up back then. Against Froch or Chavez, if was fine going up then back down but once it's Ward, it made no sense cuz he wants to collect all the belts.

Smh.

Cuz $moola$ talks.

You still don't get it after all these years.

Chavez Jr = huge payday, little risk
Froch= huge payday, moderate risk
Ward = moderate payday, extreme risk

What would you do?

I do get it.

I would fight Chavez and Froch then tell Ward flat out to build up his stock if he wants to get in the ring with me but I won't hide behind my love for belts.

The belt excuse is one he is still using till today. In January when it seemed like Canelo was going after Saunders Lemieux winner, GGG suddenly wanted the WBO belt again, telling the press non stop but the moment Canelo backed off, he was chilled with not having the belt. C'mon, WTF!

Tom Loeffler says Canelo is still up next? Holy christ what a ****** team of dummies.

Because he wants to get payed, you get punched in the face for a career and lets see if you wouldn't cash out if you have the chance.

[LADIV]

It’s obviously the money, ggg would have to fight 5 fights to make the same he would with canelo.

try like 7 or 8
He is a 2.5 mill kinda guy

Because Saunders is injured and can't fight in May and Canelo or Canelo's team will still have one eye on a potential Canelo fight in September if he can fight, that's the money fight, so they won't want him out any later than May.

Why not say F this dude since he might be on peds, fight the technician now and try for Saunders in September

What would you do?

cotto vs canelo- big payday for cotto...not a bad one for canelo=both ******* for this
canelo vs khan-big payday for canelo...low risk=canelo a *****
golovkin-big risk for canelo coming up weight against a legit and career MW=canelo a *****

but the minute golovkin ducks a high risk fight its just common sense and good business sense
