GGG vs CABy Anthony “Stacks” Saldaña

Today’s decision by the WBC to allow both Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady”GGG” Golovkin to make a voluntary defense of their corresponding championship belts is an absolute great marketing move for both Golden Boy Promotions and K2 Promotions. GGG who holds numerous Middleweight titles can now move forward with his next championship fight, which is expected to be in Dallas, Texas early next year. A fight that will feature another top pound for pound fighter Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez on the undercard. Gennady who last faced David Lemieux on HBO PPV failed to generate huge numbers due to many factors including the New York Mets facing the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.

With that being said HBO and K2 now have the opportunity to Showcase one of the top Middleweight fighters on the planet. GGG is one of boxings best kept secrets to the casual fan Golovkin who has 21 knockouts in a row, with brutal wins over Gabriel Rosado, Curtis Stevens and most recently David Lemieux is continuing to build his fan base. Both K2 and HBO must do what it takes to market Gennady.“That bout carries enormous implications and is of great importance for boxing, both in terms of history and for the future of the sport,” Sulaiman said. “Many details must be addressed for a super fight of that magnitude to actually occur. The boxers’ respective promoters, Golden Boy Promotions and K2 Promotions, have been communicating in good faith to finalize the details of the negotiations for the contest to come to fruition” A fight for GGG in early spring has rumors circling on who his next opponent will be.

Tom Loeffler President of K2 hopes to get a unification fight for Golovkin, which means WBA secondary title holder Daniel Jacobs or the winner of the WBO title bout between Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders are high up on the list of potential opponents. In today’s press conference Mauricio Sulaiman stated “Canelo vs. GGG is one of the most important events in the sport of boxing, and their promotional companies have been communicating openly and in good faith,” “The ultimate goal of all involved is to make certain that the best conditions are secured for their fighters and the boxing world.” “The WBC’s goal is to facilitate this fight, which will be of tremendous magnitude for the sport of boxing and its fans all over the world,” . Although many fans are upset with the WBC the outcome could have been worse. Eric Gomez, the Golden Boy Promotions executive who helped craft the agreement with Loeffler and Sulaiman, said the complexity of striking a deal for a super-fight contributed to the postponement.

“It takes time for a mega-fight. Absolutely, it’s going to happen, but the terms have to be right and satisfied. And it helps us build up the fight.“We have a great relationship with [Loeffler], and Canelo told us over the weekend, ‘I want to fight [Golovkin], that’s the fight I want.’ We told him we need time to get the right terms, … we’ll get those done and the fight will happen sometime in the fall.”
