Now that Golovkin has failed as a PPV attraction here in the states (97-150,000 buys) Will he pull a Wlad type move & become a UK PPV star?
this is definitely the angle they are going to play...what they are going for you can see it as they mention james degale...." we would have fought degale ya know....if hearn had offered him to us...sure weve been talking to hearn for weeks and never actually asked him about degale but we would have fought him for sure...you can bet on it" they'll probably look to tom doran or kevin bizier after this for an interim fight....building to a crescendo in the summer of 2017 vs Anthony Joshua for the world middleweight title
If Golovkin comes to the UK, puts on a show, entertains, charms the fans then he will do well here in the UK. As for a PPV fighter here in the UK, well it depends who he fights. If Golovkin does well here then will Terrence Crawford come to the UK and try and be a PPV star? Did you see his PPV numbers later weekend?
If you knew anything about Hearn and DeGale's relationship then you wouldn't keep banging on about DeGale not being offered a Golovkin fight. Hearn has made it quite clear he isn't doing anything other than he has to for DeGale because he is with Haymon. Haymon could have got involved and made phones calls but he didn't, Haymon wants DeGale Vs Jack. Also there are ongoing negotiations between DeGale and Jack and have been going on for some time, that's the fight DeGale wants. Also have you heard DeGale moaning, whining or complaining he didn't get a call? No I didn't think so. Yet again it's all in your head, conversations you obviously have with yourself and convince yourself are true.
Difference is all of TC's opponents are here in the states why would he go to the UK? GGG will obviously fight Eubank Jr. next in the UK after he beats poor Brook into sh*t paste. K-2 seems to have a good relationship with Hearn. A couple other guys DeGale ect...
then why did loeffler say "wed have fought degale if he was offered to us"??? why didn't they reach out and ask about degale to hearn when they've been talking to him for weeks im not saying you are incorrect about what degale wants...and about jack...in fact ur probably right like u said...u don't hear degale saying golovkins name....but you do hear golovkins people saying degales name even if loeffler was asked he should say something "we never mentioned him and he was never mentioned to us...I think he has other things going on" but they make comments like that and never even asked hearn....and u know that...they just like throwing names out there to sound like they care...but brook is the fight they wanted
Well Golovkin isn't American so moving from the US to the UK where he will make far more money isn't a big deal. TC can't sell in his own country so why not move around? Come to the UK and make some serious money. A unification fight between 1 and 2 and he gets a $1 million on a PPV event that was in a country that size a serious flop. Golovkin might not stay here in the UK for his next fight, Eubank Jr has problems, Daddy problems, Sr will kill any negotiations again if he stays with Jr and there are no signs to suggest Jr will cut him loose.
Why Ward refused to go to England and fight Froch? He was afraid he will pull a bùte in front of 80 thousands fans? Or is it because he has no passport?
"He's a very, very good fighter and he beat me fair and square, he outpointed me. But he's messy, he's up close, he's awkward. He really is a bit of a spoiler. He's not somebody I'd be excited about getting in the ring with."-carl froch
because they were negotiating with eubank? why would they be asking about degale? they weren't asking about brook.... the fight with eubank fell through and eddie offered brook & they took it.. eddie has spoken many times saying he isn't going to give his all to fighters who aren't fully commited to him, degale is with haymon and eddie now doesn't have full control of degale. No doubt eddie wanted to get golovkin to the UK, put on a sky ppv and deliver a big fight for brook with a good payday.
