"Loeffler: Golovkin Will Wait, Focus on Canelo-Chavez Winner"
"Gennady is not going fight in June," Loeffler told ABC News. "It was a quick turnaround after the Jacobs fight and we would have liked to have done a fight with Billy Joe Saunders but it was just too quick of a turnaround. So we'll see now when Gennady is ready to fight what the biggest opportunities are."
"Gennady would have had to be in training two weeks ago already but he went 12 hard rounds with Jacobs...
"Bottom line is Gennady won't fight in June. They still are anxious to have him [in Kazakhstan]. They want him to be there and Gennady wanted to fight over there but it would have been too quick of a turnaround. It was 12 hard rounds (with Jacobs)."
Loeffler and Golovkin will hang back, wait for the outcome of Canelo-Chavez, and then begin negotiations to face the winner in the fall.
"We'll see what happens. If Chavez wins we'd love to have a Chavez fight also," Loeffler said. "If Canelo wins that would be the priority. I'm still in contact with Golden Boy. I speak to (Golden Boy president) Eric Gomez probably like twice a week. We'll see what happens on May 6 and see if we can make a deal."
