    That way he can fight Jacobs, Lee with no network issues. Then he can move up to 168 and fight Direll, Degale and Jack. With Haymon behind him he can get good opponents and good paydays. I think he's reached his peak with K2 and HBO

    I agree, Loeffler and co are ruining his career with this bum circuit they have him on.

    Unfortunately the dude seems too loyal to make a move to further his career. I guess when you look at it from GGG's perspective, he went from abject poverty in Kazakhstan to making millions in the US with his promoter. He's probably more than content to stay with K2. I hope his competitive side realizes that he can get better fights and way more options by joining Haymon.

    To be honest, don't think Canelo wants it for a long time. Other than Canelo, there is no one else. Why waste more valuable time that he doesn't have by a dude that's claiming 155 division. Times up for GGG. At least with Haymon he can get 5-6 big fights, make millions, call it a day.

    Other than Canelo (outside of haymon) there is no one left at middleweight. Jacobs, Canelo and Lee. Then its 168. Haymon has 3 decent names at 168 while HBO has no fighters at 168.

    In about a year I so Khytrov and Derevyenchenkk will start to be legit challengers too with the PBC label.

    As other PBC fighters they will keep fighting bums until there is a soft title shot available.

    Haymon would have him drop titles to avoid mandatories and lose out on 1.4 million dollar paydays

    Not a smart business decision

    I think the point the OP was trying to make is that there isnt many people left at 160/168 outside of the PBC stable with a pulse, that GGG hasnt already beaten.

    Canelo, who is kind of a 160 fighter...and not a whole lot else.

    GGG would be a great addition to PBC. Even if he fights the low level opposition he's fighting now, it would be on free tv. He'd get paid more too fighting a c-level guy like Lemieux on free tv instead of 97k paying for it and getting upset over shelling out money.
