Gennady Golovkin, also known as "GGG", scored a 7th round TKO over Osumanu Adama. "TKO" stands for "technical knockout".
"But.....but..... James Kirkland is capable of beating ANYBODY with Anne Wolfe in his corner!!" - Max Kellerman Yeah, GGG would smash Kirkland in under 3.
Looks like REED's Hunch May Be RIGHT... http://www.boxingscene.com/golovkins-trainer-ward-realize-gennady-star--74318 Golovkin's Trainer Basically Says a Ward Fight Needs to Happen on "Even Terms", Then he Rattles Off Straight Up LIES about Golovkin Having More Cable TV Views than Anybody...It's Been HEAVILY Reported that NO Fighter has Gotten the Cable TV Ratings Adrien Broner Has, the Last Couple Years, so Not Sure WHERE Golovkin's Trainer is Getting his Info From... If Team Golovkin has the AUDACITY to Think they Deserve PARITY w/Andre Ward, they've Probably Made Even More ABSURD "Offers" to Sergio Martinez, which FULLY Explains WHY that Fight Hasn't Materialized... Fans Certainly AREN'T Lining Up in Droves to Watch Andre Ward Fight, but his Lb for Lb Ranking, Accomplishments & Overall STATUS in the Sport SHITS on Golovkins...To Say Golovkin DESERVES to Negotiate on "Even Terms" w/Andre Ward is 1 of THE More IDIOTIC Things REED's Ever Heard Suggested... The Fact is, Golovkin will Be 32 in April & the Clock is TICKING...You Can't Make RIDICULOUS Demands on Purse Splits, then Claim Guys are "Ducking" You, When they're Not DUMB Enough to Accept Your UNREALISTIC Terms... REED:shit:
golovkins ratings have been higher/better than wards and HBO hasnt being paying him nearly what ward gets. to think golovkin is the one avoiding martinez or pricing himself out of that fight is pretty silly.
How Many TICKETS Does Golovkin Sell, Neil???...How Many ASSES Does he Put in Seats???...& No, Fighting a New Yorker in the SMALL Room of MSG Doesn't Count... Golovkin's Trainer States Golovkin Gets THE Best Cable TV Ratings REGARDLESS of Network & that's BULLSHIT...Broner-Maidana ALONE Shits on ANY Ratings Golovkin's EVER Got...He's Categorically NOT the "Star" his Trainer is Claiming he Is... Andre Ward has LEVERAGE on Golovkin...For 1, he's Good for 8-10,000 Asses in Oakland Seats AND He's No Worse than the 2nd-3rd BEST Fighter on the Planet, Lb for Lb...Golovkin's Fought Absolutely NO ONE of Note, Whereas Ward's CLEANED OUT a Division Already... Loooooooooong Story Short, there's NOfuckingWAY in Hell, Golovkin DESERVES Purse Parity w/Andre Ward...It's COMICAL to Sooooo Much as INSINUATE he Does... As for Martinez, NO, Golovkin ISN'T Avoiding Him, but he's More than Likely Making an UNREALISTIC Offer to Face Him, just as his Team has UNREALISTIC Expecatations of what he's Worth for a Fight w/Ward...Martinez is the Lineal Champ @ 160 & as PROVEN by the Signing of the Cotto Fight, Golovkin Needs Martinez More than Martinez Needs Him... Like REED Said a Few Days Ago, Golovkin Need to Make LEGITIMATE Offers to LEGITIMATE Fighters, as Opposed to the UNREALISTIC Purse Demands he Seems to Have... REED:mj:
anyone i talk to doesnt really give a shit about andre ward. whether he ever fights again or is televised anymore. where as most boxing fans tend to love golovkin and cant wait to see his next fight. ward is hoping to lure guys up in weight either golovkin or chavez jr. i dont see ward as having leverage AT ALL. his ratings were worse despite double or triple the budget.
Instead of Going Back & Forth w/You, REED'll Break it Down like This: ANYBODY that Feels Golovkin is ENTITLED to "Even Terms" w/Ward DOESN'T Know What the Fuck they're Talking about...Who Gives a Fuck if he's Gotten Higher HBO Ratings than Ward???...The ENTIRE Super 6 was Played Out on SHOWTIME Anyways.... You Could Go 6-7 Guys Deeeeeeeeeeep on Ward's Resume (@ Least) & that Guy would Be CONSIDERABLY Better than ANYBODY Golovkin's Fought...On Top of that, Golovkin HAS NOT Shown Himself to Be a Consistent Live American Draw, Whereas Ward IS a Draw in Oakland... Golovkin has No REASONABLE Case for Expecting Purse Parity w/Andre Ward...NONE... REED:nono:
Of course it does. What type of question is that? That being said. I kind of agree with REED here? Saying Andre Ward has no leverage at all is stupid. He has gotten away with having bad ratings a lot because he keeps winning against the very best fighters in the world. Why should he think he deserves less now unless he learns it by no TV channel giving him that type of money anymore. Golovkin gotten paid bad all the time but sure let Andre Ward be the first fight to change that and out of Ward's pocket on top of that. I'd say fuck that shit, too if I was Ward. That being said I can see the reason for a lot of guys to duck Golovkin (guys like Chavez for instance) so REED should go a little easy on him.
Agreed totally. It is true that TV ratings is more important for promoters than ticket sales these days, and by far too. It is also true that Golovkin is a guy that few middleweights want to face: his record isn't all that, but most top middleweights know about his capabilities, he is "not your average" contender. All that being said, REED is absolutely correct that Ward deserves bigger purse if these two ever met, the edge in achievement is so vast in favor of Ward that he has no reason to accept just any offer.
golovkin hasnt gotten paid bad. he is new on the scene and is building momentum with each fight. and as it turns out he has already become more popular with fans than ward. ward's gates in oakland have been declining because he's a dull fighter. its not like he's selling tickets for expensive prices either, i doubt his last gate against dawson was any higher dollar wise than what was sold for golovkins last fight. i dont know a single person who went to wards last fight here in southern california. where is ward's leverage? he's pound for pound? its like claiming mayweather jr had all this leverage before he fought gatti. he didnt. ward doesnt even have any fights on the horizon and eventually he will have to move up to face kovalev. ward is badly hoping he can somehow get a chavez jr fight to look spectacular against a chump and boost himself into a fighter fans actually give a shit about, like mayweather jr did against gatti.
IF GGG doesn't deserve purse parity with Ward right now he has to feel at least very confident he will be way more popular and earning bigger purses if he keeps defending his title and getting KO's. Ward is very good but he won't be gaining any new fans unless he makes the big fights happen.
Apparently, Ward-Dawson Did 1.3 Mil on HBO... So Fuck Ward's SUPERIOR Resume, Accomplishments & STATUS in the Sport, Golovkin DESERVES Parity Because he "Done" 1.5 Mil 1nce???.... Ward HAS Proven Drawing Power in his Hometown & HAS Garnered Excellent Ratings on HBO as Well...He's Also CLEANED OUT 168 & has a KO Win Over THE Man @ 175 (@ the Time)...Golovkin Brings NATHAN to the Table, that WARRANTS Purse Parity w/Andre Ward... NATHAN:nono:... REEDhno:hno:
...& if ANY of You Fags Says Golovkin Deserves Parity via CUTENESS, REED'll Send Brother LOK your Way to Do what he Does...Instead of a Contract Hit, it'd Be a Contract SHIT... CHESS' or MOUF', Muhfucka???... REED:warning:
:l1: Soooon as REED Saw your Name @ the Bottom of this Thread, he KNEW You'd Reference Da CUTENESS...Nonetheless, you BEAT REED to the Punch... Cigarette... Rest Assured, LOK's On his Way... REED:mj:
I've never mentioned anything regarding purse parity. What I'm saying is Golovin has no incentive to fight ward. At all
sucks for GGG. aside from cotto or martinez, there aren't too many name guys at 160. same w/ super middle unless froch and ward stick around. i dont really care to see him fight either guy tho.
