Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter Explains GGG's Position: He Wants Fair Split!

[BDG]

Ward went down in weight, not up.
Mayweather went up in weight when he was 28. What fighters were there at SMW compared to MW 8 years ago?
Jack started at 175.
Already discussedToney and Hopkins.
Leonard moved up in weight after a 3 year delay.

Again, not every fighter NEEDS to make the jump.

The only thing I agree with you on is that not every fighter has to make the jump. Like I've said in my post before if GGG wanted to challenge himself going up in weight would have been better than fighting cans. I've said he has been mismanaged and now he has to play second fiddle to Canelo. I'm not sure if you just replied to one of my post but what I'm saying is this GGG is to blame for him not being a PPV star. The guy was smoking hot and him/his team wasted his prime feeding him weak comp. If he would have moved up and challenged himself, he would not be in this position of chasing Nelo. Now with HBO shrinking budget and GGG resume, he is stuck getting whatever GBP wants to give him or he can move on to his Mandos. If you don't agree, cool but to make excuses why this couldn't have happend is crazy. GGG should not have a resume on par with Gabe Rosado

He also didn't spend that much money promoting it.

But again, who stands to lose the most if this deal doesn't go through.
Canelo has none else to fight. He can't stay at MW.

Sanders, Jacobs, Charlo are all big money fights for canelo.

Perhaps you can share your thoughts with Golovkin and he will sue Canelo and come out $30 million dollars to the good. He can also fire all of this lawyers and financial advisors for being too dense to see that.

Good idea...

Canelo has no one else to fight ? So Canelo NEEDS Golovkin ?
You're a ****ing idiot !

Saunders - decent money, too high risk.
Jacobs - Not enough money, really high risk
Charlo - Who?

[Boxing Goat]

You guys agreed to the deal when it was for May 5. If it was good enough then it should be good enough now.

Yeah, you missed the part where Gennady was delayed by an obvious cheater. Everything that was said by Loffler said was 100% on the money.

[Real Talk85]

There is no one ggg can fight that will even break 100k ppv. He won't go near Charlo and will never fight the gypsy.

What is the maximum weight GGG could have gone to?

Brook - GGG 400,000ppv on a UK owned station.

Krusher who also never moved up in weight?
That really cleared things up, thanks.

Bro , If Krusher had GGG's resume, I would hope he would move up. Hopefully, that really clears things up.

Krusher resume > GGG
Gabe Rosado= GGG
Willier Monroe Jr resume= GGG
Amir Khan resume > GGG
Sergio Martinez resume > GGG

Hell even Chavez Jr has a resume equal to or grater than GGG

This doesn't mean those are better fighters, it just means you are not getting any bread with that weak resume.
