Golden Boy remains open to the possibility of matching Canelo Alvarez against David Lemieux in September instead of a more anticipated clash with middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin...
Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy, stated the following during a conference call “Canelo wants to fight Golovkin. He’s made that very clear to everybody. Canelo said it. We’ve said it. Golovkin said that he wants that fight. We continue to negotiate for that fight. But, if whatever reason that fight doesn’t happen, yes, David would be in line (to face Canelo).”
If the demands of Team GGG are ultimately deemed excessive by GBP, then Canelo could still engage in lucrative bouts against the likes of Lemieux and Saunders, as well as receiving sizable paydays for re-matching the likes of Cotto and Chavez Jr?
In terms of Team GGG, it’s possible that they may have burned their bridges with Billy Joe Saunders and Fwank Warren, due to Abel Sanchez's crystal clear denials of the existence of any injury to Golovkin.
Abel Sanchez has already made it clear that GGG won’t be sharing the ring with Jacobs again for at least "five or six fights" time, which is another way of saying the bout will never happen.
Thoughts?
