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

[Robbie Barrett]

If HBO isn't offering much. Then why fight May 5, push it back a month and get a better opponent and more money. They just want easy money and to pad his title defences.

[The Big Dunn]

That's the irony in all this. remember all they years of GGG begging for mandatory title shots, calling for these ABC orgs to follow their rules, mocked other fighters calling them business men not real fighters because they worried about their paydays and playing the risk vs reward game. Now GGG has his Keith Thurman to Pauly "Stop ducking me sthun" karma payback. He's now the one holding belts hostage (hasn't defended against his IBF mandatory in 2 years) and is too scared to fight his mandatory or anyone with a pulse when he has a future payday cash out on the line that he is trying to protect.

The same clowns who defended GGG on his stance years ago have now gone full re tard and flip flopped and now making the case that fighters made AGAINST GGG. So is GGG now a Diva, a sellout, and anything else you called Sergio, Cotto, Canelo, Floyd, ect for years? Or do rules only apply when it's in favor of what's easier and best for GGG?

This is a very good post.

"...multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that approximately $1 million will be paid to help cover the purses of Golovkin and his opponent."

And people think HBO is still serious about the sport? Lol

They're purposely trying to put on a mismatch with that budget.

What Loeffler means to say is that GGG needs to be paid more to fight a worthy opponent.

they are planning to move the fight from PPV to regular HBO with 3 weeks notice and with horrible bums on the list for opponents. Why would HBO pay more money for a shyt fight? GGG could get a bigger purse and/or bigger budget if he wanted to face a better opponent or moved the date so HBO, GGG and fans win? This is on GGG not HBO they knew about failed test at the start of March and still they didn't have a backup plan, refuse to fight better opponents or his mandatory, and refused to move the date long before they begged HBO to help finance it.

You have it backwards GGG is only interested in a mismatch and got a shyt budget because of it.

If the Derevechenko fight could be made mandatory by the IBF, the champions cut is 75%. Vanes taking less than 25%? There is no way they can build up Derevechenko vs Golovkin, unless they are doing the fight in Ukraine or Kazakhstan. Bogus answer Tom. Sad thing is, would probably be a very good fight, at this point, who cares

No you could be right lol either way, it's all bad

[Satir]

Loeffler's correct, GGG-Derevyanchenko is a big NY fight, surely not a replacement on short notice

[BluDivision]

These days all GGG talks is business!!!

Vanes is not a Big Drama Show!!!

[Teetotaler]

Only one million dollars?
