Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Charlo Fight is Not Going To Happen

[Robbie Barrett]

Of course you do, same as all Canelo fans/GGG haters!

Two gifts in a row. It might be pushing things a little too far, even in Nevada, to go for a third.

2 massive pay days for a fighter that took no risks is more than enough. Showing his true colours yet again by not wanting to take a risk and wanting a 3rd fight handed to him. **** em.

If Jacobs wants a Canelo fight he’ll have to sign w/t DAZN. Unless he sees Charlo and potentially Hurd as bigger paydays than Canelo which they’re obviously aren’t. Hearn ain’t dumb he’ll bring Jacobs to DAZN and sign Chenko to a co-promotional deal w/t DiBella both would be good matchups against Canelo, Lemieux, Andrade.

Not necessarily true. Oscar already said Charlo can do a one off with Canelo on the app

[Butch.McRae]

Because Derevyanchenko is not a name. He is the Middleweight Luis Ortiz. High risk, low reward who nobody voluntarily wants to fight.

Danny's attendance has been low throughout his career. But it's gotten progressively worse since signing with Matchroom.

That might affect his decision. A fight with Charlo in BK gives him the reception I'm sure he's always wanted at home. That's all I'm highlighting.

He might fight the kid in a fight-to-fight sort of arrangement. Charlo is next as the mandatory for that belt too.

I told everybody who would listen that GGG wasn't going to challenge Charlo as a mandatory challenger. It's because for one; Charlo doesn't have a major title and two; There is not a lot of money in a fight with Jermall Charlo for a shot at Canelo's titles because he doesn't have the following that Ginger has. At the present, Golovkin is too old to go backwards. Either he rematches with Canelo, moves up to 168 or just simply retire.

GGG would get bulldozed at 168 by the World Champs. Callum Smith & Benavidez are much bigger & stronger than Jacobs. Ramirez would simply outbox GGG easily like he did with Abraham.

Shame really.
Again - it shows that it's easy to complain and moan when You're up and comer and You want others to give you a shot - like Felix Sturm..
...but when it comes to situation when You have to give someone a shot when You established more of a name - Everyone is going to be selfish and look for safer money.
Golovkin says he's frustrated with Boxing being a business - and now He became part of that same problem, corrupted by the system.

If Golovkin doesn't give Charlo a shot, it takes quite a lot from his legacy - not in terms of wins and losses - but legacy of great champion who as long as He was competing - was willing to fight anyone and was all for boxing as a competition and sport, not business.

Does that not apply to Canelo too .. even more so than to GGG?

Charlo is the WBC interim champion and mandatory challenger. So why should GGG be under any pressure at all to fight him? Canelo is the WBC champ now, not Golovkin!

And luckily Murata lost so GGG won't have another easy World title fight. If he wants to become World Champ at 160 or 168 then he has to take risks. This will be solid prime opponents. GGG will be 37 in his next fight. Thats an old fighter for these weight divisions.Usually only Heavyweights still compete at a high level at age 37.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Idk why anybody is surprised.

What in GGG's past would lead you to believe he'd actually take a risk? And Abel has been saying for a while that they aren't fighting Jermall.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Interesting chat transcript. Jermall is about to understand how Crawford feels. Literally every MW contender will be with a rival network. Let's see if he stays loyal like Crawford did or if he jumps to DAZN.

Which PBC fighter is Crawford a mandatory for?

[Pigeons]

Which PBC fighter is Crawford a mandatory for?

Won't matter after Canelo drops the belt or the WBC never enforces the mandatory.

The truth is that no-one would risk fighting him when he was in his prime, including Canelo, as you well know, troll.
