Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter on Derevyanchenko: GGG Needs Proper Pay

[S7V7N]

You think Spike is fighting Canelo in Sept.???

And you call me a fool??? Indo better than talk. $500 Canelo doesnt fight Spike in Sept.

The fight was agreed upon with GGG until they split his money in half. Its posted everywhere Google it.

Spike vs Canelo doesn't have to happen in Sept, it can just be pushed back to after! But it certainly may be the fight GBP makes if they go another route or if Golovkin has to face a mandatory/unifies with BJS. There's nothing saying that the rematch is a done deal. Yes there's a lot of money on the line & would lean towards rematch in Sept, but a ton of bad blood on both sides & wouldn't surprise me at all if it doesn't happen as we all hope. There's so many unknowns right now as to what happens with IBF. I'd assume GGG would drop the belt if absolutely needed to preserve the payday however nothing saying Canelo won't leave GGG at the alter again either so Loeffler & GGG better have alternate plans just in case.

& no, I don't gamble on things out of my control, just my thoughts is all.

I just cant see it??? Canelo's reputation takes a sht and HBO Boxing is on its last legs. This fight not happening cost them at least $50million. I cant see them approving another fight no one really cares about???

Be funny if they did it on St. Paddy's Day??? Since Canelo looks just as Irish???

i'm 1000 percent sure you don't know what you are saying. ggg made 2 million to fight wade. there is only 1 million available for this fight because it had to be scaled down from ppv so hbo wasnt prepared to spend a lot of their normal buget. a ggg-derey fight with a normal budget would be worth far more than 1 million and thats why hes not taking it right now.

The point is like he said......A retired JMW. Not a MW. Why the name calling?

a lot of people on here need to educate themselves on the business side of boxing

[methodcal]

Both, though, likely will earn an eight-figure paycheck on the rematch. Canelo needs GGG at this point. Remember, Golovkin didn't back out of the fight despite his concerns before the cancellation, though.

Canelo don't need Ggg still.

It's crazy that HBO had an opportunity to make a GGG action fight on regular HBO at this point, but wasnt willing to pay more than 1 mil. A few years ago they paid 2 mil for Ward-Edwin Rodriguez, but they wont pay that much for GGG-Dereyvanchenko, a fight between two of the best action style fighters in the sport?

It would have been interesting to see, if HBO had out a little more money up, whether GGG would have taken that fight.

The main problem, of course, is that Derevyanchenko is a total unknown to casual boxing fans and this fight would only sell on GGG's rep - who is still relatively unknown to the wider public.

It's a hard fight to sell.

They're only resorted to fighting Vanes because Spike backed out

“If it’s a mandatory, you need to promote that fight properly, you can’t promote it on three weeks’ notice,” Loeffler said to The Press Telegram.

“Even if Derenyanchenko was willing to take short money, why should Triple G be short-changed for a mandatory situation?”

uuhhh??? I thought GGG wasn't about da "Buisness" side???

His promoters and managers are. That's kind of their job.

[yankees7448]

I'm 1000% sure had the mandatory been Wade the fight would've been made in three weeks.

You're either Mr. All the belts or bidnessman. Which one are you? the IBF needs to strip him. Other fighters wanna eat too. It's not fair to make Derev or Andrade wait another year just because GGG is lost inside Canelo's rectum.

Derev ~vs~ Andrade for the vacant strap.

Yes it's Canelo's fault the fight is cancelled. It is NOT Canelo's fault you picked a retired JMW as replacement. Cut that sht out.

Its HBO's fault. They only put in the fighter that would be willing to take the money on short notice.

[yankees7448]

Exactly! He's like every other fighter after the money...
Nothing wrong with that but don't fake the funk and act like you're not...??
But all these Triple g nuttriders will choose to believe otherwise....
Bunch of fools they are!

Lets say Sergei D demanded 500k for the fight. That's a low figure considering he wanted 400k for Andrade but lets say he was willing to take 500k. With a 1 million dollar budget GGG would also get 500k. GGG has 3 belts, owns a close victory over Danny Jacobs, fought Canelo to a draw in a fight that sold more than a million ppvs in his previous fight. How is it fair to get salary parity with a guy who only has 13 fights with his biggest win coming against a washed up Sam Soliman and whom is coming off a fight with a guy who had a .500 record.
