Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter Noncommittal Regarding IBF Mandatory

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gennady Golovkin and his handlers haven't decided whether he'll keep the IBF middleweight title after Saturday night. The IBF granted Golovkin an exception that will allow him to fight Vanes Martirosyan without being stripped of his IBF 160-pound championship. The New Jersey-based organization refused to sanction Golovkin-Martirosyan as a title fight, though, and has ordered negotiations between representatives for Golovkin and mandatory challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko to commence immediately after the Golovkin-Martirosyan match, assuming the heavily favored Golovkin wins.

That belt is gone soon

No one is turning down $20 million to pay a currupt organization for an insignificant (for GGG) belt.

His "fans" think he should risk making $20 million, then turn around and pay 50k (not sure what the fee is) to the ibf?

Weird logic.

I sense a vacant IBF fight to be announced after that 90 days is up because I don't see GGG passing on a rematch with Saul Alvarez.

[turnedup]

As a fan of the boxer i'll call it shameless if he turns around and goes this route. I get that there is a rematch with big money on the line but at least make a commitment to fight the guy after the rematch to keep his heels cooled. September 2017 to May 2018 is a big gap where he could squeeze in that mandatory if they'd only negotiate. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Expected. Golovkin should go for his money fights, so Derevyanchenko will be able to fight someone decent for the vacant title.

Mr legacy though, I’m staying at 160 till i unify though, all bs excuses to never move up or down to test himself. Shameful, and even more shameful all you ggg fans ate that sh.it all the way up. Fools

How about this, get rid of all those organizations like WBC, WBO, WPG, WW2, W2C, WRX, IBO, BFI, BBB, IBF and their funny belts. Keep one per weight divisions, which they should tone down too..... and get Sulaiman a nice job at mcdonalds. Getting tired of all those belts, weights and b*ll**** that comes with them. Sigh.

If Golovkin goes to this route, I'll take out my fan card.

Business as usual. Your wallet or your belt, nothing wrong with this.
