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

[aboutfkntime]

Get your facts straight!!!...he totally dropped the belt..1) because of his dissappointment in the WBC 2) because GGG was his mandatory, GBP knew he wasnt ready for that fight....had to juice it up first...and still LOST in most boxing fans eyes

bollocks !!

"After much consideration, today, 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. I also informed the WBC that I will vacate its title.

"For the entirety of my career, I have taken the fights that no one wanted because I fear no man. Never has that been more true than today. I will fight 'GGG,' and I will beat 'GGG' but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines."

The problem with this tactic by Loeffler is that Golovkin's image has also taken a hit too by refusing to fight Derevyachenko. Had Golovkin fought Derevyachenko on May 5th, he would be the driver's seat here and the fans would overwhelmingly be on his side. It was PR nightmare when Golovkin's backup opponents were revealed and even worse once Vanes was chosen. But the Vanes fight turned a lot of people off.

And 18 months later .... "Don't worry Saul, we've got 3 steroid cycles and 2 judges in the bank. Just run like a rabbit and everything will be ok!"

GGG is old with no other big money fight options.

Canelo in 24/7/365 VADA is going to clear his name going forward no matter who he fights.

GGG's management needs to get more realistic. Greedy fkers.

He’s not greedy, he took both the first and rematch fights as champion with little percentage. Canelo got caught cheating and wasted GGG time. So it’s not greed, it’s the third time, and as far as I’m concerned ggg won both the first two. Canelo does need to prove he can fight ggg while clean.

If there's someone who needs to prove something that's bumlovkin, two somewhat decent opponents in canelo and jacobs and neither got KO'd or stopped. He's real tough when he's up against bums such as wade,monroe jr or the last bum Vanes ...the truth is bumlovkin's best win is against welterweight kell brook...I'd be ashamed to call myself a champ if I was him. And let's not forget the fact that he was too scared to move up, sitting in a dead division with c level fighters lol ..not a canelo fan but that dude fought at welterweight and went up to face this fraud, that's a step bumlovkin will never take.

Dude, Canelo only fought at WW when he was a literal kid. GGG was from a country without strong pro system, but at 19 he was a WW too. GGG went to 160 before he turned pro.

Canelo fought a WW for his first strap at 154. He ended up getting his MW strap at 155. And then squeezed to 154 for first time in three years after refusing legit testing. So give me a break, Canelo has been a huge JRMW, but his best wins are not exactly barn burners. That bum Vanes took Canelo best win into deep waters.

Stop it, he didn’t need need to fight SD on three week notice.

His imagine took such a big hit he ended up with the most watched hbo fight since 2016. How horrible.

Do you actually believe it's his management?? It's Golovkin. Loeffler would sign in an instant if Golovkin didn't protest. Golovkin is pissed off and he's getting stubborn over the purse split. Don't blame him.

I also read after my post that the Goldenboy offer IS higher this time around, from 30 to 35%. Sort of a “sorry we almost ****ed up your huge payday by eating mexican beef”.

So whats the problem?

The problem is it was 35% prior to Canelo having a cow over the rematch.

It's not GGG's fault, that Geale and Lemieux were the only top level middleweights who were trying to fight him, before he fought Brook.

He's real tough when he's up against bums such as wade,monroe jr or the last bum Vanes ...the truth is bumlovkin's best win is against welterweight kell brook...I'd be ashamed to call myself a champ if I was him.

You'd be ashamed of having nearly all the top fighters in your division pissing their pants? You'd be ashamed of the "face of boxing", handing you a world title, and then claiming that he isn't a middleweight, just to avoid fighting you? You'd be ashamed of having to fight the #1 welterweight at the time, because Chris Eubank Sr's hypejob of a son ducked the contract? Canelo spent most of his career weight bullying, but GGG should be ashamed to call himself a champion, for fighting one welterweight? Look, boys and girls, that's your brain on fanboyism.

And let's not forget the fact that he was too scared to move up, sitting in a dead division with c level fighters lol ..not a canelo fan but that dude fought at welterweight and went up to face this fraud, that's a step bumlovkin will never take.

GGG has no reason to move up. He's almost undisputed at his current division, there are good opponents available, he's making decent money, and he has zero problems making weight. Move up for what, so haters like you can look for another reason to bash him? Canelo was a massive welterweight, and a fat light middleweight. Dude was fighting lightweights and super lightweights, lookin like the incredible Hulk . He also dropped his WBC strap, because he didn't want the smoke, and then had some fake beef with the WBC, because they tried to do their job. You say GGG's a fraud, but one could argue that if it weren't for Oscar De La Coka, Canelo would have a few losses on his record. 118-110 doe.

Whereas GGG promoter needs the fight to keep the lights on. Happy to see Canelo move on. Jacobs made more money than GGG last fight! Great job!!!!!

[4truth]

Totally wrong thinking. The last thing in the world Canelo needs is to fight after 4 months of testing and get blown out of the water. If Canelo was juiced for the first fight, as I suspect he was, no way he wants this rematch. A rematch will not save Canelo’s image, just the opposite in fact.
