Comments Thread For: GGG Promoter: Canelo Needs The Rematch To Save His Image!

[stealthradon]

It was in an article here talking about canelo and drug testing

It was said by someone yes. That's not proof.

Loeffler is a ****ing terrible promoter in terms of what he has done and continues to do so with GGG.

He can't haggle or barter, he fails to capitalise on a strong hand in negotiations and shows it right away when he has a weak one.

Look atHearn...there is always a contingency, a fall back.. a plan B ready to go such as Takam or povetkin in the scenario of the wilder fight not happening. Fingers in multiple pies..

Loeffler isn't talking to anybody else at all about setting up a fight .. not Charlo not derevyanchenko not Jacobs not nobody.

He'll sit and allow his fighter to age unnecessarily...chasing money they aren't entitled to and hand over any ****ing advantage his man may have.

Loeffler is a ****ing idiot..and he should be happy with 40% max given their respective revenue streams and outreach

Whether people like him or not, GGG is the man to beat at Middleweight. As the defending champion, he should command a bigger slice of the cake and considering he was the better fighter when he fought Canelo last year (including the failed drug test), he is entitled to dictate terms. Canelo doesn't have any bargaining chips to bargain with. I think Golden Boy promotions are looking for a way out of the fight. Oscar has brought up Spike O’Sullivan as one of the possibilities for Canelo to fight on September 15, and he’s the one that a lot of hardcore boxing fans believe he’ll fight.

ggg cant even afford to pay his mando lol, he doesnt have the money to dictate shiett.. canelo is the one giving the paydays, not ggg...

Canelo sold a million PPVs with Chavez Jr and 1.3 million with GGG.

With Liam Smith, he sold 300k.

And that was before he tested positive for PEDs, and it was a world title fight.

Here's something to consider .. how many PPVs would GGG have sold with Chavez Jr, on the same date Canelo fought him?

I'm guessing it would be a lot closer to 1million than to 170k, Golovkin's last number vs Jacobs.

canelo vs chavez sold well for the mexican rivalry, there is no such a thing with ggg... ggg-chavez will do no better than chavez-maravilla... and chavez was hot back then, not like the chavez that fought canelo... chavez without canelo is not a ppv fighter anymore, same goes for ggg...

GGG is shook. He's convinced Canelo was juiced in their first meeting because he's not accustomed to the lower tier opponents he's faced being able to withstand his best shots and still fire back. It was a grueling fight for both men and GGG doesn't seem eager to step back into the ring with him (especially since he believes he deserved the decision in their first meeting), unless it's for an exorbitant retirement purse.

Canelo, for his part, has voluntarily submitted to additional testing which gave further credence to the claim that his trace positive result was caused by contamination, and he's submitted to year round testing to reassure his opponents and the fans that he's clean.

Bottom line: as the A-side draw he has no reason to concede a 50/50 split. He isn't the social security administration, he's under no obligation to provide GGG with retirement pay. So for the sake of boxing and his own financial interest, I hope GGG abandons his dellsional demands and accepts the fight. He squandered so much of his early career, he can't afford to allow opportunities like this slip away.

"We sent them an contract in April, they came back with changes, we accepted those changes"...

Tom Loeffler
“Both promoters, we’re ready to go to start promoting this fight. We’re just waiting on the fighters’ side, just to finalize any of the outstanding details there would be. … There is, for sure, a structure in place for it to take place – basically for it to be rescheduled from the May fight to the September date.”

both promoters had no issue, guess who did ??? give me 50-50 lol...

[markther]

Mosley is an admitted dopper and canelo is the most tested fighter behind mayweather with vada and usada and ggg only started testing since the lemiux fight and he had the testing limited to 15 days before the fight.for the biggest fight of his career he showed up at public workout fat and looking very different that his previous fights thats pretty su****ious

So your basically saying Alvacheat is the most tested “active” fighter today & is cleaner and more compliant than GGG? Lay off the crack please!..CTFU!!!..crack head!!!

They also said Canelo's image was tarnished after he vacated the belt.

He went on sell 1.3 mil PPV's w/o GGG after he dropped the belt. GGG went on to sell 160k PPV's after he told Canelo to give him his belt


There is a disconnect between boxing media/ggg fans & reality

The only disconnect here is the lack of respect paid to GGG. Oscar and his Diva refuse to give A Side ground but Golden boy has feasted on Alvarez long enough. The two had a close encounter and Golden Boy wants to maximize earnings in case the gravy train is derailed. It's good business but lousy tribute after a draw and failed drug test. The meat eater should be drooling to get his revenge but instead Oscar is literally playing the alternate universe Trump Card. No reality in a lack of equality given all circumstances. No respect for Saul for signing on to this circus. The burden should not fall on the genuine Middleweight Champ.

Is there any evidence for this statement other than someone claiming it?

No, not at all. He pulled those numbers out of his rear end
