Comments Thread For: Arum Would Love Golovkin On ESPN; Could Fight Ramirez On PPV

[Dontbeahater]

All those flavors and you choose salty.

Ggg underbid all those fights you mentioned. And other fighters won't wait for ggg who historically underbids or ducks. Why would they? Ggg ain't fighting anyone same size or bigger than him with skills.

[HURTFEELINGS]

PPV? Only with Canelo, no one knows ramirez and most people dont give a **** about GGG. So NO PPV between these two......what else could "Rob" Arum be lying about?

[Bronx2245]

Oh ***** off. Sergei D was not even an option. It was a last minute fight to save the date and avoid sitting out for a year. The plan was to fight Canelo in September so pushing the date back to fight Sergei D wasn't an option either. Finally, the fight only had a million dollar budget from HBO. Sergei D already turned down an offer to fight Demetrious Andrade because the cash wasn't good enough and you expect him to take a fight with GGG for even less than that. ***** off with the revisionist history bull*****.



What are you talking about sitting in limbo? He fought in September and everyone else is busy. Jacobs, Sergei D and Demetrious Andrade just fought within the past couple weeks. Canelo didn't want to do an immediate rematch. Jermall Charlo chose to duck Maciej Sulecki to fight GGG's sloppy seconds in December. Billy Joe Saunders pissed hot and got suspended. Gilbert Ramierez is already booked. So what the ***** are you talking about. Plus with HBO out the picture he's got to negotiate a new network to fight for before his team can even begin to negotiate his next fight.

Oh the *****ing haters are out in force shoveling their bull***** today.

April 12, 2016:

As our own Michael Woods has previously reported, the team for IBF middleweight mandatory challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko badly wants Gennady Golovkin, the IBF titleholder, to face their man on May 5, and they are still pushing.

From Derevyanchenko manager Keith Connolly via ESPN:

“Now that Canelo-Golovkin has been called off the IBF mandatory is due. Sergiy has worked his whole life to earn a mandatory position and I will be doing everything in my power from a legal standpoint to protect my client’s rights. I feel very comfortable in our legal position that we are owed the title shot immediately. Sergiy is ready to fight Golovkin now. If he chooses not to fight us the IBF should strip him and we will fight whoever is next in the rankings for the title.”

Derevyanchenko (12-0, 10 KO) is an interesting contender, and arguably the most fitting opponent of all the names that have been mentioned as possible for May 5. Jaime Munguia was shut down by the Nevada commission, and Spike O’Sullivan is out of the running, too. Billy Joe Saunders won’t be ready to go on May 5, nor should anyone expect him to be.

That leaves Derevyanchenko and Demetrius Andrade for those who have expressed interest. It’s perfectly understandable that Golovkin and his team might not want to fight Andrade, a southpaw with an entirely different style from Canelo Alvarez, the man Golovkin was preparing to face.

But Derevyanchenko is a righty, about the same size as Canelo, different style, sure, but not so drastically that I think it’s undoable. Plus he’s owed the title shot, and his team want it.

The bare reality of the situation may be that Golovkin isn’t going to fight May 5. They wanted him to keep the date, but when Munguia got turned down, that might have been it. They wanted to keep the date, but without taking a real risk, and Derevyanchenko may be more of a real risk than they’re willing to accept.

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

Tom Loeffler: ESPN is there. DAZN is is an option. We’re considering both.

BoxingScene.com/NoSparring: How about Jermall Charlo and Showtime? You could do a one and done with them.

Loeffler: No. Charlo doesn’t make sense. That’s not going to happen.

No, I think that Team Golovkin will pass on that chance, opportunity and offer. GGG is a middleweight. He is looking to cash out soon. So he'll be joining DAZN shortly because there are many more opportunities for him there; Especially at 160.

You believe that? The only dude Triple L wants is Nelo. Triple L will NOT fight Jacobs or Andrade, believe THAT!

Jermall Charlo vs golovkin!

[j.razor]

ggg should join DAZN, that's the only clear option.

ESPN:
Ramirez

Fox Sports:
Charlo

DAZN:
Canelo, Jamie Mungia, David Lemuiex, Daniel Jacobs, Demetris Boo Boo Andredi,


Canelo alone makes DAZN the clear choice.

But he WON'T fight any of them, just Nelo again cuz Triple L is a pvssy

[j.razor]

As I've said it a million times.

1. Ward was too busy ducking his promoter for a fight with GGG to get made at 168.

2. The fight with Canelo happened not just once but twice. So ***** off with b1tching about it.

"On October 8th, just three months after Rafael’s report, Loeffler gave an interview to boxingscene.com explaining why the official offer was rejected"

Do you feel ****** or are you just pretending to be ******

[yankees7448]

GGG ducked Ward at 168, trying to chase Canelo or Cotto, who were fighting @ 155!

GGG wasn't chasing them. They had won a middleweight belt that GGG was a mandatory for.

Then he said he wouldn't fight Canelo @ 155, even though he was screaming "Anyone from 154 to 168!" He's a hypocrite, and now a former champion too! Deal with it!

He fought Canelo 2x. Stop b!tching.

Yes. Ward had made the offer when GGG had a fight signed already. It was a fake offer.

[Derranged]

Scurredlovkin don't want it. He a punk ass coward.

blah blah blah

All that does not dispute anything I said. No one said Sergei D didn't want the fight. The problem is the short time span and the money. The short time span wasn't good for GGG and the money would not have been good for Sergei D.

https://www.boxingscene.com/promoter-andrade-accepted-derevyanchenkos-side-didnt-want-it--126698

The overall package HBO first offered for Andrade-Derevyanchenko was $800,000, which would’ve been split equally among the two teams had they fought December 16 in Laval, Quebec, as part of the Billy Joe Saunders-David Lemieux undercard. HBO’s second offer was for a total of $500,000, which means each side would’ve had to take $150,000 less for a fight that would’ve been placed on an unspecified undercard.

Philadelphia’s Pelullo disputes, too, that Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs) wasn’t willing to fight Derevyanchenko (12-0, 10 KOs) when the fight first was offered late last fall.

Andrade wasn’t training, Pellulo said, because Nelson informed him following Andrade’s 12-round victory over Alantrez Fox on October 21 that there wouldn’t be another HBO bout available for the 2008 Olympian for the remainder of 2017. Andrade, of Providence, Rhode Island, also spent time in the Atlanta area after the Fox fight with his high school football coach, who died of cancer.

“So then Peter comes back says, ‘You want the fight? There’s only $500,000 in the fight,’ ” Pelullo said, referring to the second offer for the first quarter of 2018. “I said, ‘No problem. We’ll take the fight.’ Lou couldn’t deliver [Derevyanchenko] because Connolly would not take the fight [for less money]. … I called Andrade and he said, ‘Yes, take the fight.’

So Sergei D refused to take the fight with Demetrious Andrade because it would have only paid him 250k but you haters expect us to pretend that Sergei D would have taken that kind of money to fight GGG on short notice. Bull*****. Sergei D wanted 400k for the Andrade fight and he would have wanted more for the GGG fight but with only $1 million dollars in HBO's budget that means he would have needed to be paid equal to GGG for the fight to be made. He didn't earn that.

And for what....Sergei D lost to and got dropped by someone who lost to and got dropped by GGG.

Regarding Charlo, I think it comes down to a couple factors. #1. He's signed with PBC and it looks like he's the only guy they have for GGG to fight in the middleweight division. Almost every other champion or top guy is somewhere else and most of those guys are on DAZN. 2. He's been promoted like *****. His next fight is going to be his first time as a headliner and its only because he won a coin toss with his brother. But if he fights GGG he's going to want money like he's a draw. We won't see until December 22nd (that's the date of his next fight I believe) if he is or not.

Its a shame. I think Charlo deserves a shot at the big dogs but he's not going to get it unless he fights Jacobs next but I think Jacobs got him shook.
