I'm a GGG guy. That would be really dumb IMO if he did not take it.
Now maybe the hardball works but there does a come a point where you've pushed it too far. Only time will tell but based on everything known and the uncertainty of life it seems it would be a very bad financial decision, possibly a horrendous one. Again time will tell. I'm still going with, it gets done.Comment

I don’t think anyone actually thinks Charlo can win. If it’s next that’s good. But it will be a dry easy fight and then 2-3 months afterwards will have been a bum that was never any good and nobody picked him anyway. Which would also be unfair because he’s a good fighter.Comment

GGG isn't going to find a better payday at 42.5% of a Canelo rematch. My only guess is that he is forcing Canelo to take an equally tough fight and then try to make a rematch in May 2019, providing neither of them lose between now and then. Otherwise, this makes no sense at all, he's passing up his career high payday and now he has Charlo to contend with.Comment

I agree. But if this fight doesn't happen at this point I think it will be reasonable and fair to say Golovkin was most responsible for it not taking place.
This reminds me a bit of Juan Manuel Marquez. That might have been one of the worst business decisions. He refused the Pac rematch and then went to Indonesia and fought for $30K. He got screwed in the decision. In the end it worked out but it was a really terrible business decision. Plus had he fought Pac right away I think he would have won. Pac was a better fight later when he fought Marquez.Comment
