The funny thing is, since Golovkin is a nobody he can't make it in the US, so he tried to make it big in the UK, but even the drunken Brits didn't turn out in force for Golovkin. All those Brits came out to see Brook. The event was a failure for K2, so they will stick around the UK for a little bit more trying to solidify a Eubank "Bum" Junior or Saunders fight to see if Golovkin's popularity increases to c-level. If that fails, I expect K2 and Golovkin will sneak back into the US and continue fighting bums with a 90,000 draw.
Source? You asked most for a source but havent provided one yourself. Is it £ or $? And is it 10 or 12 million?
I have heard 10-12 million. Loeffler was asked about it and he was very vague but never denied that an offer was sent. Canelo received 5 million for the Cotto fight 10-12 wouldn't be bad. Maybe GGGs team is holding out to get a bigger cut or PPV options I really don't know. The ball seems to be in GGGs court though.
Ignoring the silly catchweights and the fact Canelo vacated his title, Martinez should have retired before losing to Cotto. Beating a disabled version of the champ who more or less sold the title isn't worth much in my eyes.
You can see why I don't consider it to be worth much though right? It's the same at LHW, sure Adonis is the 'lineal' champ but whoever wins out of Ward/Kovalev is definitely the man in the division as beating a completely shot just been drained and KO'd Dawson means very little if apply any sort of context to the win.
Lineal still means something in this sport doe. You still have to beat the man who beat the man who beat the man to be recognized as the lineal and undisputed champion.
It means less and less by the day with these 'lineal' champs acting like utter birches. These can't hide behind this lineal tag forever.
Are you guys for real? Nobody knows the specifics, and Oscar has said that the fight won't happen until next year. The whole situation is just ridiculous. Nobody is going to agree to anything a year out.
Spot on...why should GGG, the belt holder & maybe of 4th if he fights BJS in the mean time, should he take what amounts to a pittance of the whole deal...Oscar is running scared! Ok make the fight as Brooks, the belts not on the line, Oscars camp have said its not about belts as they meekly handed GGG the belt back when he told them "Give me my belt" Lol
I know the facts all you have are baseless accusations. Javier Capetillo ACCIDENTLY put a used pad in Tony's wrap instead of a new one. That pad was tested in a lab at the request of the CSAC. That pad was deemed HARMLESS!!!!! Trace elements of sulphur & calcium were found when pad was microscopically tested. While both elements , in much larger amounts, are part ingredients of plaster they are also ingredients of HUMAN Sweat not to mention hand crème as well. Big Bad Tony Margarito actually SWEATED !!! ROFLMAO Why do you think the CSAC let it drop ? They knew they'd be laughed out of court. Know what youre talking about before opening that big mouth you migt not get laughed at so much BTW Motor Mouth I don't see any proof from your end ROFLMAO
