By Chris Williams: Abel Sanchez, the trainer for WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (28-0, 25 KO’s), believes that Gennady is the only fighter in boxing that can give Floyd Mayweather Jr. the big payday that he’s looking for. Sanchez sees a fight between Golovkin and Mayweather Jr. at 154 lbs. bringing Mayweather similar big money payday that he received in his last fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last month. This is a fight that makes a lot of sense for both fighters.
Sanchez told Hustleboss “I think Golovkin is really the only name out there that is going to get him [Mayweather] the kind of payday that he had in his last bout with Canelo. There’s nobody on the horizon that’s going to get him a $40-$50 million dollar payday. And if Golovkin is the guy, then we’re willing to down down to 154.”
