Abel Sanchez told Saunders that Golovkin would never fight him

[JohnCastellanos]

Err, yes he is trying to slander him at every opportunity. We are seeing it daily in interviews such as this one. Whatever issues he has with losing Golovkin, he's doing himself no favours by badmouthing him every chance he gets in the media and to other fighters. He could just as well keep that to himself and retain some class and dignity. Furthermore, nothing he's said actually reflects bad on Golovkin, only himself.

For instance in this example he admits that he advised Golovkin not to fight Saunders (whether or not that is even true we don't know, all we have is his word), meaning that it was Sanchez who didn't want the fight, not Golovkin. It should be evident to anybody without a clear bias that Golovkin himself never avoided any fight, rather he was the one chasing the best opponents while for many years they avoided him. Felix Sturm (paid off the WBA), Cotto (I'm not a middleweight despite being WBC middleweight champion), Saunders (Golovkin could beat me and Eubank Jr. on the same night) and of course Canelo (We Mexicans don't fuck around! See you in a couple of years when you're a bit older...).

As for "being greedy", I don't think there's anything greedy about not wanting to give up $10m out of a $100m deal to somebody who is not going to improve you any further as a fighter. Boxers hire new trainers all the time, it's nothing uncommon. De La Hoya had many different trainers throughout the course of his career, does that make him greedy and ungrateful? Golovkin is the one who earned that $100m deal and he is the one who gets to decide how its spent. Sanchez was entitled to nothing (despite his ideas to the contrary), after all he's not the one in there taking the punches. Sanchez wasn't happy with the terms offered to him thus a new trainer was sought. End of story. If anyone's greedy here it's Sanchez for overvaluing his worth but the bottom line is that he should show some character and keep his grievances to himself rather than airing them out in public at every available opportunity.

Nope Golovkin is the one instigating by calling Sanchez a fake Mexican who lives in California. I mean where does he get the balls to say something like that? Almost like feels entitled to speak on Abel Sanchez’s race

[JohnCastellanos]

Who the hell pays 10% of 100 million to a trainer, you are a special kind of STUPID.

According to Abel ggg wanted to pay him 2 percent, so from 10 percent to 2 percent to a guy who basically did all the work, all he did is KO bums while Abel was justifying it by making all you idiots believe these were some top 10 oponnents! I’d say thats a bit low for someone who is to thank for all your success

golden boy offered saunders to fight on canelo-smith udercard at texas stadium in order to get the canelo fight after that, saunders flat out said no...

He was right. Sent him an offer. BJS accepted. GGG swerved him

Golovkin and Saunders agreed to unify the titles in June of 2017, agreement was finalised before Jacobs V GGG with the unification to take place during an expo being held in Kazakhstan in June but the way the Jacobs fight panned out meant Golovkin and his team didn't want to fight in June anymore and instead rested up and went straight into Canelo 1.

Golovkin and Saunders agreed yet again to unify the titles last year in August at the Forum, California until a last ditch attempt by Golden Boy in caving in to Golovkin's demands meant the GGG-Saunders fight was scuppered and instead we got Canelo V GGG 2.

Those are the facts. Saunders isn't to blame for both times falling through.

As for Canelo V Saunders, Canelo was supposed to return in December of 2016. He owed HBO a regular non-PPV date. Golden Boy wanted Saunders as chief support vs Gabe Rosado with the intention of leading to Canelo V Saunders but it didn't happen. Firstly, Saunders balked at the idea of facing Rosado, who he publicly denounced as a journeyman and felt there would be nothing to gain. Secondly and more importantly, Golden Boy refused to guarantee Saunders that he would fight Canelo next, a term of the contract which Saunders wanted if he was to fight a Rosado-calibre fighter. Saunders felt GB were just using him to fill up the card and felt disrespected, a situation made worse given GB refused flat out to guarantee Saunders v Canelo would be next. Thirdly, Canelo suffered an ankle injury, the card got cancelled and it paved the way for GGG V Jacobs.

Those ae the facts. It's all online

[Lou Cipher]

Sanchez is one sore loser

[andocom]

Thread title is very misleading. According to BJS, Abel told GGG not to fight BJS, that is a lot different than GGG telling Abel he wouldn't fight him.

Right. That fight was agreed to before any Canelo talks. What happened is Jacobs put a hurtin on GGG and they decided to shut it down and do whatever they can to make the Canelo fight. More money and they perceived it as the easier fight between the two.

Jacobs scared them so bad they've refused to fight anyone of note except Canelo. GGG even said he doesn't want to fight Jacobs again

[Chrismart]

Sanchez sounds like a scorned lover.

[champion4ever]

At 6:27. Sanchez butt hurt as hell lol.

What a bitter ole' man that Sanchez has become? He is now sowing the seeds of mischief

[drew1830]

Agreed to before the Jacob's fight right? Before there were any Canelo talks right?

So what?

He dropped the lesser opponent for less money to make the biggest fight in boxing.

If he had turned down Canelo people would have called it a duck. In fact, you would have called it a duck.

They agreed to the fight before the Jacobs fight. Before any talks with Canelo. The Jacobs fight scared them so much they decided to cancel the BJS fight and go for the more money and what they thought was the easier fight. You gotta be living in a fantasy world not to see how they swerved BJS
