GGG and DAZN are in dispute about opponent selection

That reminds me...need to cancel my DAZN again
I'll sign back up once more fights are coming.

 

Andrade vs Golovkin is a good fight. Golovkin should just take the fight.

Golovkin has slowed down but he should still land a big shot. Murata has lost but redeemed himself avenging the defeat.

Andrade isn't as boring as these guys like Canelo and Jermall Charlo make out.

If Andrade stays on his feet then they might give him the W.

Golovkin should unify and then look to fight Jermall Charlo who he'd probably beat easier than Andrade.

 

GGG is old, he ain't beating any top names for sure .

 

Andrade gets way too much stick.

Yes he's a bit of an idiot but he seems to be a genuine guy and is clearly a very talented but flawed fighter.

It's ironic that he's not getting fights because he's boring but what about all the other boring opponents GGG Canelo and the others fight?

 

I'd be really interested in Golovkin/Andrade. Other than chasing the Canelo dragon, there's no other legacy fight out there for GGG nor is there one for big money. Just sitting around on his couch waiting for Canelo to come home and service him probably is not going to work.

 

he isn’t waiting for Clen, he makes millions smashing bums.

 

My thoughts are, fight the best available or call it a day. If Pac can do it, so can GGG. Andrade is a good fight and a challenge, Murata doesn't interest me.

 

Yeah, it's not like BJS is much more exciting than Andrade, yet many seemed content with that matchup. The point should be this, though: The best fighters in each class should have an obligation to take each other on, regardless of the potential for lack of excitement. In that regard, Golovkin is a universal #1 at 160 and Charlo and Andrade round out #2 and #3. Therefore those two should be his primary options. Now I understand that a promoter has to concern himself with the appeal to fans, but DAZN is paying the bills here and fans will be intrigued by this.

 

Why aren't MW Charlo and Andrade tusslin?

 

Eddie Hearn has mentioned a few times that if GGG is serious why wait until new year to fight Murata which although big in Japan and a nice payday does nothing for viewers for DAZN outside Asia. Hearn mentioned why not fight Andrade or Eubank jr in August then fight Murata.


Think the issue seems to be politics. Tom Loefler is still guiding GGG whereas Hearn just want him to fight and get some hype behind a trilogy with Canelo

 

Andrade is a good fight. I really don't see the problem there.

If Triple G has 3 fights left, Murata, Andrade and Charlo.

If he beats those to unify, he cements his legacy as an ATG imo.

 

I don't blame GGG. At this point, chase the money. Murata is a top 10 middleweight (in a not-too-terribly impressive middleweight division, but top 10 nevertheless) who is a puncher, is fun to watch, and brings a large-paying audience to help contribute to the success of whatever event he fights on. GGG vs Murata in New York with a sizable Japanese contingent will be money.

Any money brought to an Andrade fight will come from GGG, meaning financially he gets whatever he would fighting literally anyone else. Andrade has also done himself no favors by only ever stepping up in competition once (there are other quality middleweights out there besides Charlo, GGG, and Canelo...not many but they're there); the last memory we have of Andrade is him getting verbally humiliated by Canelo. The only benefit to GGG is getting the WBO belt, and as he's fast approaching 40 that just may not be his best interest now.
