Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin, Nothing He Cares About More Than Money

[nick_viking]

Come on man, this how you build up a fight! Sure, some of it is overkill & a bit tiresome, but we're paying good money to see a big fight. A rematch to see who really is the best between these two excellent boxers. And by golly, I think we're going to get our money's worth! I can't wait!

For me the build up has stopped being entertaining and ended up with both boxers moaning at each other.

I’ll watch the fight, as you say both are great boxers, but don’t think it’s done either of them any favours in terms of winning new fans.

Actually starting to get tired of the banter from both guys. It's like they're trying to convince us that they won't stink up the joint again, which they'll probably do again.

I mean, the first fight wasn't horrible, but others hyped it up and nothing happened. The only good thing I see coming out of this is one of them getting careless while trying to hurt the other, then we'll have a fight on our hands.

What he said!

The fake part isn't simply fighting for money. Its when you tell your fans you'll beat anyone from 154-168 then ask the best 168lber to come down to 164. Its when you turn down competitive fights because you're all about the bests then drop the IBF belt when you have to choose between the belt and getting a big money fight. Its when you trash your opponent in the media about being a liar and a cheater after bending over backwards to make sure you could fight that opponent for the big check you'd only get by fighting that opponent.

Let's be real here.

well if were being real and looking at it objectively wouldnt u say its a legacy fight also, considering ggg has being avoided like the plague for many years hasnt he earned the right to take on canelo and cement his legacy. As i say people looking at it there own way to fit their own narrative. its cool if people want to pick up any isolated comment or incident and break it down to its bone but facts are people hating on ggg are generally just angry canelo fans whereas people hating on canelo is down to facts..if we're being real here

canelo fights for money, no one argues that, but ggg sayed he repects boxing, and that he is no businessman, thats where the hipcresy comes from... he cried so much about it before, and now he is doing exactly the same... nothing wrong with that, but he is being a hypocrite...

So Canelo fights for the money, and Golovkin said he respects boxing and is no businessman. So him saying that he wants more money after Canelo blew the Cinco De Mayo date with his failed drug tests, makes Golovkin a hypocrite? Gotcha.

the greeding cheating bastard needs the fight!
mexico would hang canelo dry for avoiding this fight! have you not noticed all the Mexican fans that call him a correlon y coyon! Canelo needs this fight otherwise he be mexicos chickenchit to troll!!!!
ODLH put up his own money due to canelo not wanting to play ball!!! you call that stepping up?

Yes I do call that stepping up! You are quick to criticize canelo (like he gives a dammnn) but won't acknowledge that both fights happened because canelo wanted them to happen. So you truly believe that canelo is scared of being trolled in Mexico and thats why he was forced to fight lil g? Thats funny and delusional

Was he willing though? Seems to me he didn't. They didn't beg GGG back. They were right there negotiating until the deal got done. It's also hard to say that GGG wasn't focused on the money since he dropped the IBF belt for the Alvarez fight.

Well he didn't outright drop it. Of course he wanted the money, and to right a wrong he felt he was handed. He still might be able to become undisputed, but no one is going to turn a Canelo fight down. And yes he was willing though. Pretty sure it was confirmed by both parties that if Canelo fell through, BJS was next. So he definitely was willing to walk away.

Canelo needs to take lessons from The Rock is he wants to trash talk because this is just boring.

[QUOTE=Robi13;19055259]Yes I do call that stepping up!

Canelo took the fight cause he had nowhere to run!!! he ducked for 2-3 years with BS catchweight fights!
