    Why not?

    They all fought Tyson
    They all fought Foreman
    They all fought Marciano
    They all fought Monzon
    They all fought Hagler

    etc...etc....etc...

    And these guys had more fearsome reps than GGG. It is a different era now, but not THAT MUCH different.

    The middle weight fights happened because (pay attention here) THEY WERE NATURAL GRUDGE MATCHES!

    Brooklyn vs Brooklyn
    Brit. vs Brit
    Mexican Vs. Puerto Rican
    Unstoppable force vs. immovable object.

    They all made the most $ sense. Simple as that. Now they all face each other.

    ive said this here a few times about another guy...kovalev

    same reputation as a monster....50 year old Hopkins wanted in with him....pascal went in and took a beat and wants a rematch? so why cant ggg get fights?

    ggg and his people know what they are doing....and his loyal fans are eating it up and always pointing the finger

    Because of Floyd. Every boxer tries to make the most money with the least damage taken, that wasn't an issue back then. Boxers simply didn't know any better.

    ok peril....but what about kovalev

    im sure you will tell me about Bernard...about how he has big sack and is a rarity....but theres a 50 year old guy who don't need money that wanted in the ring with the monster kovalev.........even a guy like pascal who got his head caved in is taking a rematch with the guy.......

    if ggg wants to become a "money guy"....he needs to fight canelo ASAP...and if that means he must bow to a cw...he should do it...then he becomes a money man and never has to bow again......that's been my point

    Exactly, they might beat the life out of yoy but you made far more money against them that anyone else. However a guy from Kazakhstan is never going to have the same pull in the usa

    Even if he beat Canelo senseless he would never be the money guy. His from Kazakhstan ffs , it's not like the Mexicans will suddenly start buying all his PPV's in numbers because he destroyed canelo

    @smoking man...

    his fanboys insist hes already a big draw...they point to sellouts in LA and NY....and the fact that hes hbos big push now.......so yeah I think beating canelo now, ASAP, will help him now more than it would 2 years down the road......his fans insisted hed be the new ppv king and that hes a huge draw....so I dunno....im taking their word for once

    It's about risk-reward, you know this. It's the same reason why Rigo struggled to get fights, he's not a KO monster machine, but fighting against him is almost a guaranteed loss with little for return so nobody wanted it.

    He will always sell out arenas because enough boxing fans will want to see him and travel. He could seel out anywhere tbh. But the thing the makes you a big draw in the true sense is huge ppv numbers. If your not American or Mexican or to a lesser extent from anywhere in North America chances are you will never be a big ppv star in the states no matter how good you are. Casuals like to cheer for there guy not some guy from a country no one can pronounce of that no one could find on a map no matter how exciting and dominant he is

    ok café

    so how does ggg go about becoming the money man? how does he get there? how does the return become big enough to fight him?
