That's what I was telling Maxi and the others. Leading up to the fight Tom wasn't saying Sergiy wasn't willing to fight. He was saying it's not fair for GGG to fight him on short notice and for short money. After the fight he started putting the blame on Sergiy.
Tom does this stuff all the time.Comment

The fight still should of been made. The IBF is gonna order the fight and give him a couple of weeks to accept. And which he will turn it down for Canelo.
Listen I get it? But GGG used to NEVER be this guy I thought??? Avoid tough fights for $$$$???
At least that's what he always told his fans. IMO he should of Fought Sergiy. Actually scratch that sht... That was too much risk. I've seen him fight. GGG's team has also. That was not going to be easy. The risk/pay wasn't even close.Comment

GGG fans: Who is this guy? He doesn't deserve a fight with GGG. Who has he beat?
GGG fans after he signs to fight the guy: This guy is technically good. Very dangerous fight for GGG.
GGG fans after GGG beats him: GGG just beat the best middleweight in the world.Comment

They were not sure he could win. Have you seen him fight??? I would say that's a 60/40 fight?? Maybe worse 65/35. Odds were too close.That's what I was telling Maxi and the others. Leading up to the fight Tom wasn't saying Sergiy wasn't willing to fight. He was saying it's not fair for GGG to fight him on short notice and for short money.

More than 30 minutes into an impromptu press conference to announce nothing Thursday, a reporter posed an essential question to Gennady Golovkin’s promoter. Tom Loeffler was asked, rather than dragging out the search for Canelo Alvarez’s replacement any longer, why doesn’t Golovkin just fight Sergiy Derevyanchenko on May 5? The unbeaten, unknown Ukrainian is the mandatory challenger for Golovkin’s IBF middleweight title and the primary reason Loeffler hasn’t been able to announce an opponent for Golovkin’s upcoming fight, tentatively scheduled for three weeks from Saturday night.
Triple-G sells out the biggest arenas in the world, and if we have a proper time to promote and market a fight, nobody does it better than we do with the Triple-G fights. You know, when you can sell out Madison Square Garden twice, with a David Lemieux, with a Danny Jacobs, Derevyanchenko would be a huge fight in Madison Square Garden. So why would you want to shortchange the mandatory challenger and the champion, the unified champion, squeezing a situation like that?”
“I think Derevyanchenko has gotten more publicity over the last week or 10 days than he has ever in his career, just being linked as Triple-G’s mandatory,” Loeffler said.
What a POS DIC!!!!Comment
