why did loeffler say they would have taken the fight if he was offered? why mention degale at all if yer loeffler? why mention him this week when yer fighting kell brook? the answer...deflection...deflection from the shame of this fight loeffler is trying to throw names around....the same with sanchez saying this week "i think ggg/ward will happen"...in order to take heat away from him fighting a friggin welter that's the point you miss re****
Another GGG v Ward thread.... Anyway, I'm sure I read somewhere that Hearn spoke to DeGale about Golovkin, but DeGale said that GGG isn't on his radar. He wants to unify SMW and then move up to LHW. Did anyone else see this or did I dream it?
eh...you might have heard it...it might have been said and put in print...if you havent noticed, especially following golovkin and his team, things get said alot and then ignored later on ...ie "brook is too small" so...lets say that is true....and was said by hearn or degale now lets take a look at how hearn/k2 say the brook fight came about.....they say they were trying to make ggg/eubank and that stalled last minute and they were like "hey kell would u take it"...kell said "yeah" and k2 was willing to accept it......id have a hard time thinking degale would completely ignore and bypass a chance to put on a similar type of event involving himself if the situation happened to fall into his lap
poor lance...still talking...still in this thread....still talking about me....still knows ive had him on ignore
You're clearly checking my posts to see if they are to you. nice "ignore" loser....all the while still talking with me. :rofl
Can you imagine what c0ckmaster would be saying if K2 had declined the Brook fight and ended up settling for a mediocre middleweight like Tuereno Johnson instead?!? "Triple Duck strikes again!! Runs from P4P Brook to fight another bum?? How can you guys support this coward? Blah blah blah, I'm a fgt..." There's no stopping this moron because no matter who GGG is fighting, there is always somebody he isn't. If Golovkin fought Ward, Lara, Rodriguez and Degale in a 4 on one steel cage match I swear Sh!tmaster would be posting threads about how Gennady is ducking Kovalev 😳
Well we don't know for sure because boxing politics and business is not transparent. However, we can speculate. I believe GGG v Eubank was Golovkin and Hearn's first option with Brook as a back up. When Eubank Sr bottled it, Brook got the call. I don't think DeGale would have been legitimately considered because Golovkin, as I am lead to believe, has a date set with HBO 9 weeks from Brook being offered the fight and he has been given the run around before from Eubank and other opponents so a quick resolution would always be good from Golovkin's point of view. Because of this, the Brook fight was more viable than the DeGale fight for two main reasons. 1) Brook could just be offered the same contract as Eubank. DeGale could not, however, as he isn't as big in the UK as Brook. With the money being offered to GGG and Eubank/Brook, if this was offered to DeGale there is a chance that Hearn doesn't get a decent return. 2) A Brook fight is easier to make and win than a DeGale fight. Because of what I said above, New contracts, and therefore negotiations, would need to take place between GGG and degale, wasting even more time and possibly cutting into training camp time (as there was only 9 weeks to the HBO date). Also, moving up to SMW to fight DeGale for, in all likelyhood, less money, is less appealing than dragging Brook up to MW for more money.
P4p brook? Have u seen that resume? Lolol He ducked ward...won't call lara.....claims he wants to move up but didn't ask about degale lol I can see ur clearly happy with the brook fight....even tho alot of his fsns here are not thrilled or happy about it Run along fgt
It's boxing ....ur saying they could have offered degale less money ....people stay up all night getting deals done....lower the offer and ask degale ....it's not going to take but 20 mins to come up with a reasonable offer for degale and gauge his interest .....he balks? Hes unsure? He says he might want more money? Then move right along .....but they never Even considered it....and I'm appalled at k2 for not suggesting it..., they're looking for the easiest road possible.....of course they aren't going to want to fight a guy that beat dirrell(with an amateur victory over gg)..... But like u said brook is less risky and we all know Golovkin doesn't like risky
I highly doubt Golovkin is sacred of DeGale. I just think out of the two, his people chose the quicker and easier option.
definitley chose the easier option....thats what theyre all about it would have taken hearn an hour to come up with a solid figure and gauge degales interest of course...k2 wasnt interested in that....and took brook and then mentioned how they would have taken degale ,if it were offered, to the media
