    Mauricio Suleiman: "He was blocked by all. Commissions, promoters, television and other organizations from the boxing world - they block his entry into the ring. Many offered, but in the end they were rejected."

    Golovkin is not a cashcow like Canelo, I understand, but he has 2.5 M instagram followers, quite a popular athlete with very international fanbase. He is among the 5 most popular current boxers, how the hell they cannot find an opponent for him?

    His team are trying to find low key opponent that will not only be easy to beat but will be willing to fight for only 100-200k before taxes etc and also with less than a month training camp.Well guess what ? This isnt happening.

    Either opponents are not agreeing on such low money or organizations dont want to approve 154 unknown fighters.Hbo are at fault also,not willing to spend any money.

    Also people about Golovkin unifying with BJS next or whenever , think about it as well-BJS will ask for twice or trice or even more the money he can get in such fight,Lemieux and Jacobs made like 1.5mil vs Golovkin and BJS asked in the past for 5-6 mil POUNDS.Dont think its realistic really.
