Comments Thread For: WBA Prez: Golovkin-Brook Rejected Because It's a Business Fight

[CaneloMaidana]

Meanwhile, team Jacobs is already talking about ducking Golovkin despite the WBA mandate.......

Danny Jacobs' camp is currently discussing whether it makes sense to face GGG in 2016 or start of 2017 - The Ring

So I guess it's Bradley vs golovkin.

It is funny because they didn't order GGG-Jacobs.

You got a smart point in there.

I have no problems with them trying to say it's a business fight, lots of people will see it this way, but WBA is the LAST organization to be taking a moral stand. They're responsible for so many *** ups recently it's not even funny. Hell, they're the ones who took bribes in order not to give Golovkin a shot at Sturm. They're the ones who talked junk about mandating Golovkin-Jacobs after Canelo situation was resolved, only to sit on their ass for months until it was too late.

This is how I feel about the whole cluster fcuk. Professional boxing is like a ship without a captain; and sanctioning bodies that claim to instill any semblance of transparency are as corrupt as the **** that infest the lower decks. Absolute vermin.

Also, it's simply WAY too premature to compare Golovkin to Hagler or Brook to Leonard. Let's get fcuking real here. Neither contemporary fighters have battled through a body of fire storms that build legends. I'll give GGG a bit of leeway because CLEARLY he's been ducked by fighters who cower inside promotional/backroom silos. These duckers are pathetic.

This is a weird and perverse reason for not sanctioning the fight.

GGG can't fight Jacobs next because Jacobs has signed for another fight.

This is professional boxing - every voluntary defence by a world champion is a business fight, if you want to look at it that way.

Something dodgy is going on behind the scenes. We'll have to wait to find out what it is.

I know, right?

It almost seems as thought the WBA is trying to goad GGG into vacating their title. If they strip him without cause they would get sued, but if he vacates, then they could elevate Jacobs to Super Champ (for whatever reason)......

as to that "reason", my first thought was Canelo-Jacobs for the full WBA title, but the Golden Boy - Haymon lawsuit still being active makes that unlikely......

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out, because it DEFINITELY doesnt pass the smell test.......
