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

[ThatDude44]

"Anybody from 154 to 168!" Except Lara or Canelo at 154, or Andre Ward @ 168! Lol! Bob is trying hard, but I think GGG goes to DAZN! DAZN already has half the MW champions, and Jacobs might follow soon! Loeffler already said the Charlo fight "ain't happening," so I guess it's just a matter of how much DAZN will pay! I hope GGG doesn't think he's getting Canelo money!

Add Derevychenco to that list

[MC Hammer]

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.

Able just said Andrade has nothing to offer along with CHarlo and completely ignored Jacobs. He wants easiest fights with ESPN being vacant at MW that's where he will end up

[Diego Rodriguez]

Brant and then Canelo. I think that is where it is likely headed. If that is the case he is basically looking to just cash out.

I think Canelo is going to fight Lemieux in May. I think there is a reason he is on the under card coming up.

If this happens pretty crappy for the division. If Jacobs and Charlo are on the outside I hope they fight each other.

Could fight on PPV? I was told my some here TR is done with PPVs because of ESPN+!!!

Stop, TR isn't done with PPVs by any means. Because Pacman doesn't or hasn't fought in the states lately and isn't in their stable anymore, they lost his PPVs. Arum wants to put Crawford on PPV at some point in 2019 as well. If GGG signs with ESPN, the fight with Zurdo is definitely PPV as well. I mean Lomachenko really doesn't have any PPV opponents except Mikey, but that doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. That one is late 2019 or at least summer of 2019 at the earliest.

I could see this as a tactical move on GGGs part if he can get a win over Ramirez, it throws cold water on a possible show down between Ramirez and Canelo, which can be a lucrative fight down the line.

Sergey would've took the fight, even for short money, because GGG had all the belts! GGG fighting Vanes is inexcusable! Sergey WAS AN OPTION!

Easy for you to say when you're not the guy signing the contract. Sergei was the mandatory. He didn't have to settle for chump change to get his shot at the belt and he didn't. Sergei was not an option. The fact that he turned down 250k to fight Andrade because the original offer had been for 400k shows he's as much for the money as anyone else.

What a joke. We all know that Ramirez isn't fighting anybody worth a ****.

[pillowfists98]

This would be a tough fight. Zurdo looks like a Light Heavyweight.

Andrade is not a draw, and had no titles! Bad comparison to GGG! GGG didn't want to risk losing all his belts before fighting Canelo, so he gave up one!

That last one is just made up bull***** and you know it so I'll disregard it. As for the rest....its just even more reasons why Sergei D would not have taken chump change for the GGG fight. He was fighting against someone who is a draw and made the fight bigger and had titles which made the fight more meaningful. If he refused to settle for 250k to fight Andrade he wasn't going to accept similar money to fight GGG on short notice for a bigger and more meaningful fight when he could sit on his a$$ and wait for the shot that was due him.
