Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter Noncommittal Regarding IBF Mandatory

[Shadoww702]

Huh? Him going to trial over that case that he ultimately ended up losing had NOTHING to do with his obligation to fight GGG, as mandated by the WBC.

Did it make business sense to vacate? Of course it did. Did it look extremely bad after you just called Gennady in the ring, yelled in his face, and told the entire world that you aren't f**king around? Extremely!!!

You're defending something that we all are in agreement with. Smh

1st of no WAY was Canelo gonna split 55/45 with GGG.

2nd he did LOSE but Oscar won! Hence he didnt have to leave GB.

So say everything was agreed upon? ?? But Oscar lost and Canelo was legally awarded back to All-Star?? Then what??

Derevynchenko have been waiting for what would be a Full Year by the time he gets his shot

I don't care about "Who Has He Fought" "He Doesn't Deserve A Shot" that is not for any of us to determine that was completely up to the IBF. They told him to fight Tureano Johnson to get his shot and he did that and he beat him so the man earned his shot based on the IBF so give it to him or Drop the Belt

NO Charlo and Derevynchenko are not going to fight, for what? Both are already in mandatory positions so they both will wait for their shot then if they win titles then they can then look to unify but NO they're not canceling each other out like some fans want them to do

I think the belt will become Vacant and they will go down the list looking for fighters willing to fight. Only one I seeing say yes is Andrade at #6...

aahh ok I knew it was something like that and yea 800k wow thats alot smh I wouldn't pay another 300k on top of that 800 either

Dude, that's robbery man. WBC knew that too. I can't believe that ****. On top of that, they were already getting $100k from Canelo PLUS $25k each from the 2 promoters, GBP and Roc Nation. It's ridiculous man.

[Shadoww702]

I think he was ready to but cotto vacated the belt cuz if I remember they wanted like 700k for the step aside fee

I think Cottos shafted both GGG and the WBC. Good for him.

[Shadoww702]

Incorrect. He indeed did pay GGG $800k as a step aside. He dropped the belt less than a week before he fought Canelo because the WBC wanted him to drop another $300k as a sanctioning fee. He felt paying Gennady close to a million was enough. Which, I don't blame him. $1.1m out of his $15m purse is ALOT.

Damn!!! I never heard of he actually paid him?? How does that go?? Have pay them right away?? Or can say I'll pay you out of this upcoming fights check???

[Shadoww702]

how about this gem?:



but they are A OK for a vanes fight haha

I give them one thing??? They sure do got have some thick skulls and are stubborn MF'ers. Even with PROOF they still believe their lives. They're like Osterich's sticking their heads in the ground.

None of that happened.

Look, this back and forth is unnecessary. Here's from the horses mouth themselves:

"After much consideration, I instructed my team at Golden Boy Promotions to continue negotiating a fight with Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin and to finalize a deal as quickly as possible," Alvarez said. "I also informed the WBC that I will vacate its title." ....

I will fight GGG, and I will beat GGG, but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines.

"There is no denying that Canelo is the biggest star in the sport of boxing," De La Hoya said. "He is eager to get in the ring with GGG to show the world that he is also the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. But we won't negotiate under a forced deadline. Now that the WBC title is off the table, I am hopeful that GGG and his promoter, K2 Promotions, will come to the table in good faith and get this deal done."

You deduce from that whatever you'd like to.

We all are in agreement that the 55/45 split isn't fair as it pertains to Canelo vs GGG, at that time. No one is dis*****g that. Yet you keep on perpetuating it and going on about his other court rulings that were independent of this case. That's on you.

They probably get advances and place it in escrow until after the fight is over with, then once the fight is over, they relinquish it.

I'm not sure this is what happened between Cotto and Gennady though. Maybe Cotto had a check. Maybe he had a briefcase. LOL. Who knows.

If the mandatory was Dominic Wade they'd be all over it.
