Rumor has it GGG wont be fighting 5 De Mayo..

If this doesn't prove he's been in bed with Canelo since the beginning, nothing will...

 

I've seen like 10 threads about "rumored" opponents and what not. Why don't we just wait for the real news?

 

Expecting this. GGG is popular on TV but I'm sure the casino holding the May 5th event was expecting a lot more in attendance and visits. They're not going to get that with GGG vs anybody else but Canelo.

 

Hope he can find an opponent still or someone for June at least.
Active fighter goes inactive primarily due to his opponent's antics. We've seen that before...

 

I don't see how the fight goes on, we are 3 1/2 weeks from go time with no opponent,
and it's a PPV. This is a hard sell now. I can see if he got a quick opponent for a
regular TV date, but a PPV? It's just not worth it. Golovkin is a PPV draw "with Canelo".
Not with a guy that was dug up in 3 weeks as a replacement. This ain't the UFC.

 

ClenbuteNelo pooped the Mexican day party

 

If the May 5th fight date gets cancelled, which is getting more likely by the day, I just hope he doesn’t wait on the ginger for sept

A year of inactivity bevause of the ginger is unacceptable. GGG couldn’t find last dec because GBP was adamant that he don’t fight.

Now Clenelo blew up the May date. That’s two times in the last 9 months that the ginger affected his fight date! No more! Just pick an opponent and make the fight in June.

 

It's a bad thing if he doesn't fight on May 5th. September to May is long enough, pushing things any further gives BJS a huge chance to win. The more rust GGG has on him, the more BJS is favoured. Push it to June at most, no further than that, otherwise GGG's career could go worse than it should.

 

GGG's not a draw so there no point in having it in a big vegas show.

 

No 5 de Mayo at all this year. We're skipping it altogether!

 

We should also keep in mind that HBO, Tecate, other sponsors. the state commissions, the sanctioning bodies, and other promoters all have a say in what is happening here. It may be that May 5th will be a bridge too far here.

 

I invite all my Mexican brothers to watch a true battle on 5 May instead. Rather than watch two over paid boxers dance around for 12 rounds to a draw, watch a proper war MEXICAN style in London. Bellew - Haye. @CutThroatFade
