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

[Curtis Harper]

He could have fought Rolls

[bigdunny1]

Canelo told DAZN he is fighting Kovalev not the other way around. lol He mentioned Kovalev last Dec and again during promo for Jacobs fight. This is the fight he wanted and he refused to fight again until he got it, and here he is with the fight he always wanted. Meanwhile GGG sounds bitter because has he got the fight he wanted? Nope and he's stuck fighting this weekend where there is no hype and nobody cares and having to talk about canelo. Canelo owns his soul and calls the shots not GGG and it burns him.

Thats factually inaccurate.

Canelo is the biggest draw in boxing thus he has a plentiful number of options at any given time.

GGG has very few options and is running out of time.

he signed a contract with dazn so doesnt matter if he is the biggest draw

''Old'' man GGG is so bitter....

[Mikedadon]

Golovkin is correct in his assesment of the journalists they keep asking him the same thing. Canelo said he is done with triple g and is moving on. Why doesnt anyone ask him why he wont move up to 168 or why choose to fight dervychenko to get the ibf title again.

Canelo has plenty of options from 160 to 175

Did DAZN disapprove Canelo vs. Andrade?

That’s not true. I’ve been to 3 fights in NY. 2 in MSG. A Cotto fight had seats at much higher prices. $100 tickets were in the second deck. Most of the second deck is closed for this one. Most of the arena is in green on most ticket sites right now. Meaning their at cost with little to no mark up.
The demand is low for this one. It’s ok to admit it.

I never denied there wasn't a low demand for this fight. It's not a fight that people are rushing out to see. But the argument that tickets are much cheaper isn't accurate. I've gone to fights at the garden since 2000, there isn't some great disparity in ticket costs for this fight compared to most others. Tickets almost always start at around $50 then shoot up to the thousands for the floor. As far as sales, I wouldn't expect them to be great. The day before the Canelo vs fielding fight it was mentioned that there were 4000 seats still available.

“I think that was his only option,” Golovkin told a group of reporters prior to a press conference at Madison Square Garden. “

FOH with that dumb talk. Nelo can fight who he wants being the cash cow of the industry today.

Its YOU Pvssy-G that is afraid of other options like Mall or Boo Boo.

This ^ is true.

Canelo has a boss
GGG is his own boss

Yeah Pvssy-G bosses himself to be afraid of the competition.
