Why didn't Ggg just take on Andrade?

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Not enough money, probably.

[SAINTSTEVE]

Yeah they didn't want a southpaw, didn't have enough money for other guys. I'm going to watch it though hoping than Vanes does more than show up for a check. Like remember when Cory Spinks nearly upset Jermain Taylor? On the other hand it could be more like Calzaghe vs Manfredo.

[The Big Dunn]

I'm not tryna bash him I like Gennady but I dont understand why not Andrade?
Was there financial reasons or did neither guy want the fight on such short notice?

Did you see Andrade's last fight? It was excruciatingly horrible. A live dog that would make for an ugly TV fight is not going to get the opportunity.

Because Andrade is high risk, team GGG ain't about that.
Win-lose-draw he'd make GGG look terrible.

Shame as its a much better fight and would be ideal prep for BJS.

HBO gave Golovkin the deal, Golovkin had the hold on the venue, Golovkin is the champion, the fight is a K2 promotion. But Andrade is the one that should make financial offers?

Yes absolutely..

[TonyGe]

This is bullsht

GGG's team is the one who's supposed to make the offer, instead they wanted to duck and cherry pick

No it's not bull****. Andrade is like the guy who comes into the car lot kicks the tires chats with the salesmen but never buys. After a while they don't bother talking to him anymore. He has a reputation well earned I might add.

Abel sanchez asked to avoid southpaws. Dont remember what youtube video has that specific quoate from Tom loeffler. But yeah it was Sanchez request. You can tell Sanchez is the one pulling strings from behind the scenes

[Mammoth]

High risk, low reward. HBO also dumped Andrade after the Fox fight real quick.

Andrade publicly called him out, AND his promoter made contact with GGG's promoter. Guess what happened though?

They ducked him and cherry picked guys like vanes, spike and munigia as replacements for may 5th.

Triple Duck Triple Cherry

then it happens and they still make excuses
