    Anything over 5 million U.S. dollars is a GREAT offer for Golovkin.

    It would take Ggg 4 fights against bums to make 8 million dollars.

    If you dontn think thats a great offer you dumb.

    It would take Ggg 7.5 fights against his usual bum to make 15 million dollars.

    Think about that.

    Golovkin is going to Winky himself.

    Canelo is going to lose to some guy that Golovkin has beaten and these forums will echo with laughter.

    Have to disagree here. Golovkin made over $5 million for the Brook fight, Brook made a similar amount.

    $5 million is a low ball offer, and even GBP appear to think so, judging by the fact they are offering $15 million.

    When you consider that Geale is one of if not the best opponent on Ggg's resume, it seems very unlikely that he'll be losing to anyone on Ggg's resume.

    No one on his resume is a world level fighter, not now, not when he fought them. They are all either regional, hasbeens, straight bums, or prospects.

    My point is that his biggest payday has been 5 mil against Brook who also made 5 mil but unlike Ggg Brook also got paid PPV upside.

    Ggg is not getting 5 mil to feast on his usual bums.

    5m is a terrible offer for something that someone is willing to pay you at least 15m for. That's basic math and why you can't understand that astounds me.

    YDKSA ANYTHING.

    The ODLH was a close fight but it wasn't a controversy and Floyd clearly won.
    Floyd won 118-110 and 117-111 on the Cotto fight, sure Cotto landed more punches and made him bleed but Floyd never struggled in that fight.

    That's why people wanted him to go up to 160 lb and fight GGG.

    I think you've misread me. What I'm saying is that he wasn't as dominant - I scored both those fights for him clearly but he had to work a lot harder for those W's than he would had they happened at a lower weight . He simply didn't look the same fighter at 154 IMO which is why 160 seems to big an ask and why the hate brigade wanted him to fight there.

    I reckon Geale at 160 - the version Golovkin fought - could well beat Alvarez. Saul is a weight bully, and he's going to struggle against a guy his size who has great handspeed and movement.

    3 belts. He got them from somewhere. I'm guessing that he took them from world champions.

    Well he kind of found the WBC one on the floor after some ginger guy dropped it. Some say el rojo dropped it in panic whilst others say that it was simply too big for him due to his insistence on being able to weigh 155 lbs and fell off without him noticing. Either way it's Golovkin's now and he'll have to come and fight for it if he wants it back.

    Anyone's stock would drop if facing total untested fighters like Smith over and over.
