Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Fighting Kovalev Was Only Option For Canelo

[icha]

ggg should be talking about the options he had, he has no business talking about canelos relationship with dazn, even if asked...

[OPS]

Spence,

You see this. Canelo is willing to fight anyone. You're willing to fight Danny who have no belt and a loss. Instead of focusing on the unfinished business with you and Crawford.

Exactly

But ggg lives in his own little diva world where he thinks he’s the star lol he thinks fighting the rolls and dervys of the world are adding to his legacy while canelo fighting Kova is just a waste of time lol

He never said it was a waste of time. You said it was a waste of time. He said it was his only option which is accurate. It was fight Golovkin or Kovalev or don't get paid.

Like it or not boxing revolves around Mr. Middleweight Ca$hnelo

andrade was his second option in the event kova didnt take the fight or yarde ruined their plans... there is a reason andrade never even tried to get a fight elsewhere until canelo-kova was a done deal...

BY FatDan :
Various candidates were approved by DAZN, including unbeaten middleweight titleholders Demetrius Andrade and Jermall Charlo; Derevyanchenko (who will face Golovkin on Oct. 5 for a belt stripped from Alvarez); and unbeaten super middleweight titleholders Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders. However, a fight with Kovalev, a big puncher with a big name and long track record of fighting top opponents, was the most significant of any fight Alvarez could make outside of GGG.
As an insurance policy, a source told ESPN that Golden Boy had struck a deal with Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn for Alvarez to face Andrade had Kovalev either lost to Yarde or in the event they were unable to close the deal with Main Events.


So it was kovalev as the first option and andrade as the second option...
now to be fair to your point, dazn initially only aproved ggg or kove for september, but once they found out that they were not going to dictate canelo they aproved more fighters for november out of desperation to get a second canelo fight this year as they promissed their suscribers...

[turnedup]

Being the biggest draw in a sport means nothing to lawyers..he’s got a contract that doesn’t factor in his popularity...so all this bullshhh about him doing what he wants is just that...bullshhhh from fanboys who live in a hyper reality where contracts don’t mean shhh. Welcome to the real world, Canelo is employed by DAZN not the other way around. There is nothing at all wrong with that but stop the lying about shhht. Even Floyd needed approvals of his opponents.

[True That]

Before people piss themselves;
"Golovkin clarified that he meant Kovalev was the only option for Alvarez that DAZN would’ve accepted after Alvarez refused to fight Golovkin a third time September 14. Alvarez-Golovkin III was the fight DAZN executive chairman John Skipper and Golovkin wanted."

Too late, looks like the people pissed their pants

Lol

You're right I was wrong. I was referring to the original stipulations that DAZN laid out but as you pointed out Andrade was an option later.

Wow, the press has always kissed GGG's ass. Even so GGG is finally telling the ass kissing press to fu** off.

[kushking]

Yeah sure..... Only Fool's like you believe that!
But i don't think Canelo really gives a flying fucc when he's earning over three times as much as the so-called boss,..... FACTS! ����

Funny thing is that ggg talked sht & talked his way outta the only payday hed ever take a risk to get. He ******ly had to open his dumb borat mouth about"im canelos boss,come September you'll all see that he'll fight me despite him saying otherwise,because Dazn is his boss & my partner,they tell canelo what to do & they're my partner so Im his boss"

If that salty botoxface, saw puppet lookalike mofcka didn't open his ****** mouth he wouldn't be left out in the cold while canelo further reduces his career legacy to rubbel.

He could've done what Jacobs did to get the fight by keeping professional with his boss nelo but instead he wanted to yet again lie to himself by thinking he is anything but nelos career coattail rider,if not for nelo DivaG wouldn't even have nowhere near the contract he does right now,& he wouldn't be allowed to cherrypick the weakest link for yet another vacant belt.

Ggg is the one who had no choice but to fight Deryev because unlike nelo who can fight any champ & is fighting who nobody believed he would yet again to be great,ggg has a very small list of potential cherries that fit his formula of eternal bumslaying:the criteria is: No charlo/Andrade/or anyone bigger than ggg(he didn't even want Jacobs because"too big doe"),no catchweights except for Rolls,no moving even 1 lb except for Rolls & nobody who is not completely 1 dimensional & preferably who has a weak chin & very lil power like Deryev. If Deryev didn't fall in gggs lap hed be scheduled to fight Ellie Seckback next or charlie zelenof,no way in hell he fights charlo/booboo or anyone above 160.. Facts
