Why are the media calling this fight "Canelo vs. Golovkin" when GGG is the champ?

[dannnnn]

Canelo is the challenger to Golovkin's titles, so why is his name first?

This "A-side" nonsense is disrespectful to boxing and its traditions.

And please don't say he's the lineal champ because that is an absolute joke in this case considering he didn't even beat a middleweight to win (or defend) the title, fought at 155lbs catchweight each time and then vacated his actual world title and moved to another weight class.

if it bothers you that much you have to make a thread about it you should suicide yourself

or ask yourself "why has golovkin been chasing a kid with 0 wins against legit mw's for two years now"....it should answer your question

[Mammoth]

Nobody knows who Golovkin is

Canelo is the true Middleweight Champ!!! /thread

[Dagomba]

It's a plot to get ******s mad and make them buy the fight.

[KillaCamNZ]

Boxing and its traditions have been disrespected and downtrodden for years. Titles barely matter now.

Marketing beats championships.

Ladies first....

That stuff only matters to women like Andre Ward. You think GGG gives a fk about his name being second?

Because the only reason GGG wants Canelo is for the $$$. Canelo knows this. Notice that everybody is calling out Canelo even though he isn't the champ.
