      GGG used to be such a beast, but then he clowned himself in that last Canelo fight. He got embarrassed and bamboozled all of his fans into thinking he was this boogeyman, and he truly did get exposed.

      I used to be a big fan of GGG, but he's one of the most overrated boxers ever. Canelo did boxing fans a huge favor that night, and there's really no one else left for GGG to fight. His career will be defined by their last fight and all that mystique he had about him is gone. No one wants to watch Golovkin anymore, please just retire and call it a career before you get embarrassed again.

          Of course he picked the network that has the largest stable of bums that he can just KO and since he’ll just Cherrypick his way into another super fight... Hey GGG good for you Mr.Respect to Boxing!

            If he's looking to beat some easy work for a mil or so a fight about twice a year, then it's the way to go.

            If he's serious about still being one of the top fighters in the division and a champ, then right now he needs to go the DAZN route, that's where all the belts are and will be staying due to matchmaking.

            He is getting into his late 30's though, so it really depends on what he really wants to do.

              You got guys like Errol Spence making around $3 million to fight O'campo and Peterson, yet you think GGG fight for a $1 million or just a bit more than that? And if he is thinking of going up to 168, then this move would make sense. DAZN has exactly who at SMW?

                Who does PBC have that they would be willing to put in the ring with GGG? The idea is not to have your talent get beaten.

                  Huh? I'm sure they would love for Charlo or Benavidez to get a shot at GGG to help their level of popularity.

                    Is he even looking to go upto 168?

                    If he Is then:

                    Callum Smith is a Hearn fighter, so his fights will end up on DAZN. He is WBA and Ring Magzine champ

                    Ramirez is a Top Rank fighter, so he's not PBC.

                    WBC is Vacant

                    All PBC has is Uzcátegui, which is the less marketable fight out of them all.


                    So even if he wanted to move to 168, the biggest fight would be Callum Smith in the UK, which would end up on DAZN..

                    As it stands, DAZN is the best option for the biggest fight in both divisions, financially at least. GGG v Smith is a PPV and Anfield Stadium fight in the UK.
