Comments Thread For: Loeffler Explains 'Chocolatito's Absense' From Golovkin Card

Used him how? His last 6 fights have been televised with him headlining 2 HBO cards. Unheard of for a super flyweight.

They started co-headlining his fights with GGG, to help GGG gain recognition, because Gonzales had many fans and was considered pound for pound. Now that GGG's name is built up and Roman had a terrible lost, they don't really need him.

Neither guy did **** for the other's recognition.

At most, Gonzalez is good for about 3,000 Nicaraguan fans in So.Cal. and the most loyal die hards.

Realistically, I can't see Gonzalez accepting the May 5th fight on short notice and for little money with HBO's reduced budget.

Either way, the network's obligation is to Golovkin, not Gonzalez.

LOL with the sales this fraud of a card will make they couldn't afford to divide the $10 this was going to make. GGG needs his $8 dollars and the rest can divide up the 2 bucks and hopefully buy themselves a nice warm cheap coffee that tastes like sewerage from the local 7-11.

If you want to see a can get crushed you can do it for free at home. Finish your can of beer and stomp on it with your foot, it's quite satisfying.
