Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Golovkin, Derevyanchenko Must Be Paid More to Fight

[yankees7448]

I find it funny how GGG fans claimed how Mayweather was a coward and cherry picker. Especially when FLoyd had put in the work beating top fighters on his way to being a PPV Star. People on here claiming GGG is the best MW ever and deserves a soft fight after fighting Canelo and Jacobs, yet criticized who Floyd fought. All of sudden GGG has all these top fighter willing to fight him and now wants no part of any of them after beating cans all his career.

If they are willing to take lower money than they deserve they can have the fight. They don't want to. So they don't get the fight.

Only triple g has to take less money. Everyone he faces he should take less money but the other fight doesn’t.

Stick with the date Gennady, and fight Saunders in September

[yankees7448]

Exactly. Perfect. I don't care about the date, but with limited fights left in GGG's career, no SINGLE fight that is not against Saunders, Canelo, Dereyvanchenko, Charlo, Andrade, or 168 is acceptable. EVERY REMAINING FIGHT of GGG's career should be against one of those fighters, or maybe Danny Jacobs. If a fight has to be delayed one month, that is nothing.

Where's your boxrec profile so I can appreciate the expertise of you saying a one month delay won't mean anything.

If the IBF is gonna follow their rules they'll order negotiations to begin the Monday after may 5th and give them 30 days to come to a resolution or head to a purse bid. Since when do sanctioning bodies make someone fight the mandatory with 3 weeks to go after someone pulls out of a fight?

I wait for one example of any prominent fighter having to do anything close to what you expect to happen. Probably never has

It's 3 weeks notice because his mandatory called for the fight about month ago and GGG has been ignoring him for weeks until Lou finally submitted a formal request to the IBF. And the IBF is clearly leaning in his favor which is why this joke of a fight hasn't been approved yet after Loeffler already met with the ABC orgs earlier this week to sort it out. IBF told Loeffler go try and work it out with Lou aka try to pay them off to step aside. lol According to all reports Lou ain't having it. So if he just decides to fight on he is risking getting stripped and they know that. GGG owns all these ****** belts and knows he owes these mandatories. IBF were next in mandatory fights and only permission for GGG to fight Canelo once that fight fell apart IBF is next up. Plenty of examples of fighters in mandatory and title eliminations filling in last minute and still being sanctioned as mandatory or title eliminator fight. This ain't new.

And you act like 3 weeks notice is to GGG disadvantage when it's the other way around. He's been in full training camp it's Dervy who has a short turn around. if he is saying he's willing to do it just like Vanes is saying what's the problem? And if GGG is worried about the short notice just move the date they are ALREADY moving the venue and state anyway so you don't even have the moral high ground of we need to keep the date for those fans who paid for flights and hotels to vegas lol

GGG and his team made complaining that he was being ducked by everyone into a religion. Now he is the one doing the ducking. Hypocrite.

No he isn't. Sergei D wants to get paid to fight GGG and won't take less. GGG doesn't want to make chump change to fight Sergei D. Sergei D has NEVER made big money for a fight AND NEVER fought a high quality opponent. He should be the one to bend on the money. If he genuinely thinks he can beat GGG then he needs to bend on his demands. GGG showed that anunknown Soviet terroritory based slugger who barely speaks English can make real money here. Sergei D can follow the same path. He doesn't want to.

[yankees7448]

Thought ggg wasn’t a “busninessman” thought it was all about legacy and honor for the og triple o g.

So he should make less than Sergei D for the fight?

[yankees7448]

Which is why I blame GGG more then Loeffler now. Loeffler, HBO everyone realizes the date don't mean shyt because GGG isn't a star, isn't mexican, isn't fighting a mexican, isn't fighting on PPV, and fighting a bum so bad that he's getting killed by media and fans. All for a date that GGG thinks will transform him into a star LMAO At this point fighitng May 5 instead of a month later with a better opponent better promotion is the route that make sense. And Loeffler knows it but GGG refuses so he deserves the blame for this clown show more.

GGG was training for May 5th. He's going to be ready for May 5th. Unless the IBF forces the issue let him fight on May 5th.

[yankees7448]

So of course the money is going to be lower that's the consequences of cancelling the Canelo fight.

And he's willing to make less to fight on May 5th. You guys want him to give Sergei D salary parity on top of already taking a severe pay cut. That's just not reasonable.

Secondly Sergiy is asking for the fight so evidently he's not concerned with the pay give the man his shot. Besides GGG should be able to beat the guy anyway just do it.

Bull*****. If he wasn't concerned about pay he wouldn't have turned down 250k to fight Andrade because he had been accepted an offer 400k for that same fight in December. Money is an issue for Sergei D as well and yet you guys are demonizing the guy who is already losing out on an 8 figure payday.

[yankees7448]

Then move the date or fight a better opponent and you have a bigger budget. You can't do neither and cry about the budget LMAO

GGG's training is geared for May 5th. His training is designed so that he peaks on that date. Things aren't as simple as you pretend for them to be.

[yankees7448]

Why all this talk of money? I thought Golovkin was a real fighter not a businessman?

Because Sergei D is a businessman and wants GGG to fight for chump change to make the fight happen.
