Yes he can. If Catchweights were illegal, the commission would get involved and stop it. As long as it is within the Middleweight range, it's perfectly legal. Reality is, Alvarez is doing what was done to him and many before him when he attempted to score a major payday. He took those risks, accepted offers that were deliberately made against him and didn't complain. Even when he did so, Alvarez still had a major win on his record. GGG has absolutely nothing but pure hype. His record is a joke, his next fight is yet another joke and his entire claim to fame is nothing but video highlights of him knocking out bums. When you're in that situation, you don't make demands unless you're deluded.
You clowns opening thread after thread on this issue just dont get it. Neither camp budges on the weight issue because the fight has already been verbally agreed upon. Its going to happen in the spring of 2017. Anything the camps say against eachother now is just to hype it up. You clowns are being strung up and reeled in!
I'm fully aware of the differences in fighting floyd vs fighting canelo And we all know who is making this fight difficult to make ..... Canelo is the closest thing to floyd ggg will get.....it's the biggest fight ggg can get period....so I suggest he does what it takes within reason.....ggg can unify belts and no one will really csre..., he'll be in the same position he is now essentially
Explain to me how its turning fans off when Mayweather vs Pacquiao went through 5 years of hype and the result was the PPV buyrate being broken by doubling the previous record?????? If anything, stalling, postponing, and hyping the fight through the process has proven that it draws fans in, not out. The hardcore fan turns out to be the frustrated one, but the casuals who outnumber them 1000 to 1, buy into the hype process and more PPV's are sold because of it.
A fight with canelo will bring money and appeal for ggg.....it's not much different than fighting floyd .....ggg can have all belts n he'll be fighting more bums on bad or selling 97k ppvs
A bunch of simple minded losers that support GGG throughout his tomato can evisceration campaign are not exactly "fans of the sport" nor do they represent the sport either. Real fans see through nonsense hype and criticize fighters for it. GGG's entire career is based on absolutely nothing but pure hype.
If GGG says yes to a catchweight then everyone will start demanding a CW...he says 160 and that sends out a message to all opponents that it's his weight..
lol no he doesn't. He say to the WBC "You're alleged champion think's he's Floyd mother****ing Mayweather or something and is demanding all sorts of stupid ****. So how about that mandatory 70/30 split purse bid at the division limit, you know, like it says in your rules?"
So ur telling me that ggg fights canelo at a cw and wins.....and gggs future opponents are going to demand cat ch weights when they are the challengers and clear b sides? Lol...I swear ggg fan boys are brain dead
