Lol that's a pretty funny movie. I don't drink though. And while my outlook on the current state of the world can be dark at times, I am my own therapist.

You know what I said about GGG and 154-168 is accurate though but hate on if you must.

Refresh my memory, as I stopped following the thread so closely once grammar became the primary subject.

This fight is about 10x better than felding.

Thats completely untrue,brook got all the UK ppv money & was the A-side when they fought. 3g was the 1 who couldn't have made near the amount against anyone but brook as evidenced by him going to the uk & fighting for a flat fee that remained his highest payday all the way until he faced Canelo.

His lone ppv vs lemule was a failure which actually weakened his bargaining power because he only sold as low as 97k ppvs & as high as 130k possibly

They both made a $5 million purse and Brook maybe a little more with a small PPV upside.

Brook got $200k for Porter. GGG had been making over $1 million for several fights.

Matching them up meant a career high payday for each guy, but Brook was not making millions per fight and GGG was. Brook stood to make much more than usual by fighting GGG, and GGG not quite as much. GGG had just made $2 million for fighting Wade for God's sake lol.

I don’t hate on anything really except really good fighters who avoid other really good fighters, and those who defend their actions.

Good fight to keep busy until he faces a real threat

Ggg being third biggest overall star is not true at all at that time. Revisionist history. You are just making stuff up and saying it's true.

And how can you even prove your claims. You are just guessing.

The only fact for sure if ggg new opponent id w can for ggg to crush.

Canelo and Joshua were only 2 bigger - Who are you putting above him in 3rd? He was already making 1-2 million his last four fights at least, and even got 2 million for Wade lol.

Man I literally can't even decipher than dumbass attempt at an insult.

I thought you were responding to that post in particular, maybe you just picked a random post.

"Yeah that meant anyone at 154-168, if you are the A side (Froch and Chavez and Pac and May) I will come to you. If you are the B side (everyone else except Canelo and Cotto) you come to me.

I think he could have negotiated more with Canelo or Cotto on weight but I think he felt it was personal since both of those guys were campaigning at MW anyway. He figured they should fight him at MW."

That was my initial post.

U seem to have added a lot of context to a very cut and dry statement. Look, I’ve always said ggg was a good fighter. To me he just languished in a weak division too long Can-Crushing and wouldn’t take any risks.

I’ve heard of someone getting a lil comfortable, but making a bed out of your laurels is a whole different story.

I also think he beat Canelo handily the 1st time around, lost to Jacobs and lost to Canelo the second fight.
