Would GGG fight Kovalev?

[Curt Henning]

Facts are money runs the sport. The main money fighter is canelo so he calls all the shots. If ggg were offered $15 million to fight kovo then the fight would happen. But it wouldn’t generate that so the fight won’t happen. Why not ask if canelo wasn’t guaranteed $30 million would he fight kovo? If he wasn’t the money man would he be making any of these fights. Probably not. But you ignorant haters always have hidden agendas.

canelo is canelo thus he does call the shots....that was my point

if golovkin cant get the canelo payday he wont take dangerous fights....

but u ignorant haters with hidden agendas like to play fantasy and "what ifs" cause what ifs is all you have when it comes to lil g

[Curt Henning]

who said canelo was scared? it's a calculated move is all. the fact is, the industry generally dictates what fights happen and when. it's about fan interest and ability to generate revenue...everything was pointing to canelo vs ggg 3 in sept, it was canelo that bucked cuz he has that guaranteed dazn money and they weren't able to force his hand. whatever reason you wanna give, at the end of the day canelo avoided ggg in sept...those are simply the facts. everyone else was set to go, canelo threw a tantrum and sat out.

threw a tantrum!!!! LOL

took a tougher fight and told lil go to go beat someone worth a lick and they can fight in 2020

what did golovkin do? go for lowest hanging fruit and fight a guy that lost to the guy that canelo just beat and golovkin already beat

when there are to unbeaten champs sitting right there! lol

and yes its a calculated move...which was my point...canelo is king and he does what he wants...because those are just the circumstances....but you golovkin excuse makers like to play "what if " and "what about that guy"..."what if the roles were reversed"

they aren't...this is your situation...deal with it and stop making excuses

fyi literally 55 people on this forum have suggested canelo is scared and "waiting for golovkin to get older"....have you not seen that written? are you as blind as you are dumb? golovkin would have been older a couple of a weeks ago toO! lol...u clowns were using the "waiting for him to get older" excuse before they fought the first time youll always use it! LOL

indeed he did throw a tantrum...dazn tried to force his hand to fight ggg in sept, and he publicly criticized them and his own promoter and sat out instead.

ggg had to find an opponent as a result of canelo avoiding the fight that everyone else involved wanted...is canelo low hanging fruit? cuz that's who he was trying to fight.

why does canelo have to be scared to wait for ggg to age a bit more? age is on his side. the 2nd fight was hands down the toughest fight canelo has been in...it's clear that he'd rather wait or avoid the 3rd fight altogether. his actions are proving that. like I said, it's the fact that he made a fight with kovalev that makes him come out of the situation looking better...what if he would have fought derevyanchenko instead like they tried to? he would have gave up his sept date to avoid ggg and fought a guy who lost to the guy he just fought. that almost happened, so let's not act like canelo simply decided to forgo the fight with ggg to make the kovalev fight.

Good post man...very nuanced and objective...and without emotion...some of the people arguing the other side should take some notes

Hey, that was quote of Frank Warren, BJS promoter you fkn bozo

And of course you fight the lineal champ before the B rated title holder.

How fkn much do you hate GGG to not see that ffs?

You can't be undisputed without the wbo title idiot.

You have to have all 4 of the alphabet titles. Not lineal

the irony is the guy who resorts to name calling when someone disagrees with him, is the one calling others emotional.

Right...I couldn't imagine consistently calling fighters I am not really a fan of, things like Clenelo or CoWard or Gayweather or BumSquad etc...I don't judge too much those who do it from time to time, we can all lose our cool and try and make a dig/low blow sometimes.

But when some guys do it like every post...I mean they just kind of expose themselves as not being objective and having an agenda...they seem very young/immature/biased

BJS hasn't fought at MW in 2 years.

Now we're talking in circles......

canelo gets upside in his contract depending on how much the fight sells, the 35mil is a minimum... the fileding fight was the only one in the contract where he got paid less, somewhere between 10 and 15... that fight being the cheap one out of the contract allowed them to make it out of vegas...

Why would the fight sell more in Vegas than in say New York? Are you talking live gate or subscriptions or both.
