By Sean Jones: Tom Loeffler says Gennady Golovkin is angry and he’s going to be taking his frustrations out on Saul Canelo Alvarez in their rematch next month. Golovkin isn’t buying Canelo’s excuses about how the clenbuterol got in his system, says Loeffler, and he’s not happy with being stripped of his International Boxing Federation middleweight title by the IBF.
By Dan Ambrose: Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez (46-2, 38 KOs) could be making his comeback on the undercard of Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin II on September 15, according to promoter Tom Loeffler on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Dan Ambrose: Promoter Tom Loeffler says Gennady Golovkin may move up to super middleweight to take on the likes of former IBF 168 pound champion James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) in the near future if he beats Saul Canelo Alvarez in their rematch on September 15. Loeffler says GGG would come to the UK, and he believes it would be a big deal.
By Allan Fox: Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin says Saul Canelo Alvarez has a lot to prove September 15th rematch, according to his promoter Tom Loeffler. Following Canelo’s two positive tests for the performance enhancing substance clenbuterol, GGG wonders whether Canelo was clean during their fight last September at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Jeff Aranow: Tom Loeffler says middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Saul Canelo Alvarez won’t be meeting for an HBO ‘Face Off’ or ‘Gloves are Off’ program before they face each other on September 15 in their rematch at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. There’s a lot of bad blood between Canelo and Golovkin due to Alvarez’s positive tests for clenbuterol and due to him then pulling out of the May 5th rematch, leaving GGG to face Vanes Martirosyan instead.
By Dan Ambrose: Gennady Golovkin will be going back to Las Vegas, Nevada to fight Saul Canelo Alvarez at the same venue as his previous fight against the Mexican star at the T-Mobile Arena, according to Lance Pugmire. Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler says the rematch will be right back at the T-Mobile Arena, which means GGG will need to take his chances with the Nevada State Athletic Commission assigned judges.
By Sean Jones: Gennady Golovkin has backed own from his 50-50 request for parity in his rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez, according to promoter Tom Loeffler. He says Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) is willing to take a 55-45 split for the September 15 rematch with the 27-year-old Canelo. Nevertheless, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez isn’t sure whether Canelo and Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya will want to continue negotiating with GGG, as they’ve already moved on and are looking to put together a fight against former IBF middleweight champion Daniel ‘Miracle Man’ Jacobs for September 15.
By Scott Gilfoid: Gennady Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler was surprised to learn that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has already made an offer for Daniel Jacobs to fight Saul Canelo Alvarez for September 15, as he said he was still in negotiations with Golden Boy President Eric Gomez.
By Dan Ambrose: Saul Canelo Alvarez’s promoter Eric Gomez says the deal for the rematch against Gennady Golovkin is dead after receiving a counteroffer from his promoter Tom Loeffler for an unstated split that he finds unacceptable. Gomez isn’t saying what kind of purse split that Golovkin is asking for to defend against Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) for September 15, but Loeffler has already spilled the beans to the media in saying that GGG wants a 50-50 equal split of the money for the second fight.
By Dan Ambrose: Tom Loeffler thinks the major reason why Golden Boy Promotions aren’t showing interest in giving middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin a fairer deal for the rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez for September 15 is because they’re looking for an easier opponent for him.
