Canelo had to pay Angulo 100k to move the weight limit up to 155. There will be additional fines if he weighs in over 168 this morning (no such penalty for Angulo).

Groves is now saying he won't fight Froch if they use UK officials. Even the British fear "the British".

Bob Arum (who never lies) says that JCC Jr. has been presented with an offer to fight GGG in July. http://www.boxingscene.com/arum-chavez-jr-presented-with-golovkin-deal-7-12--75827

The SituAsian posted:Most recent news is that the undercard of Mayweather-Maidana is shaping with Amir Khan against Luis Collazo and Adrien Broner vs (NON-sex offender) Carlos Molina which actually makes sense since Khan-Broner right now by itself is probably big enough that it could almost be a fringe PPV and if they both win it should be a bit more than that. Khan is seemingly under the impression that if he beats Collazo, he gets Mayweather, so he'd probably be very obnoxious about fighting Broner even though Khan-Broner would be a much more interesting fight.

The Ninth Layer posted:Mayweather undercard is half decent, I actually think Khan-Collazo is a pick em fight. I'll probably buy it even if the main event will be a whitewash. Imo the fight that would have set up a September foe for Floyd would have been Khan Garcia 2 at welterweight but this is good too I suppose. I get the impression Garcia isn't super eager to fight Floyd.

Ninja PD posted:Theoretically he has the speed to actually land a few punches unlike every Floyd opponent since Zab and anyone that's out there right now (under GB). This, combined with the almost inevitably hilarious knockout once Floyd starts timing him, also makes me want this fight.

Here's a fairly interesting interview with Kenny Bayless about being a referee: http://www.thesweetscience.com/news/articles-frontpage/18196-the-tss-q-n-a-referee-kenny-bayless- He has some interesting things to say about what goes through his mind when he stops a fight.

So Canelo has asked Golden Boy for Erislandy Lara on July 12th, and said he doesn't give a gently caress about Lara's WBA "Regular" 154 belt and won't pay a sanctioning fee. I like Canelo.

The SituAsian posted:Kinda makes sense since there is (supposedly was but who know) a split within Golden Boy between Oscar and Richard Schafer with Canelo being closer to Oscar and Floyd, Broner, etc. with Schafer. I'd say the split continues: http://www.boxingscene.com/insider-notebook-schaefer-chavez-vs-golovkin-more--77031 Richard Schaefer posted:A second tweet had De La Hoya saying that if anyone at Golden Boy has any differences with Arum, "It's on them."

On the golden boy/TR front, rumors are flying that Schaefer is out after May 3. What the gently caress happens next, who knows.

The Ninth Layer posted:It seems to me the most likely outcome is that Oscar takes Canelo and maybe Mares back to HBO for matches with the Cotto/Martinez winner and Donaire, Al Haymon makes his own promotional company or folds his stable into Mayweather Promotions, and the promotional Cold War continues between the networks much as it has been. One problem that's been pointed out is that Schaefer almost surely has a non-compete clause in his current contract, so he likely can't immediately team up with Haymon.

KidDynamite posted:Floyd posted a sonogram picture and said the reason he broke up with Miss Jackson was that she got an abortion. I've never wanted to see Floyd lose before this. What a frustrating feeling knowing he's the best. Going to be interesting how I score rounds now. It's genuinely impossible to like that dude. For gently caress's sake.

Marching Powder posted:wikipedia says that geale is supposed to be fighting macklin next. my sports betting account has geale / ggg as happening. what's going on? I think ggg was left looking for an opponent after Chavez fell through, and they want geale. Negotiations have apparently begun for that, because geale wants to die, but he's still currently set to fight Macklin. That's my rough understanding.

Predictably, Floyd (and presumably every other Haymon fighter without a GB contract, which is reportedly most of them) has left GB.

KidDynamite posted:I always thought it was pretty stupid for Golden Boy not to have signed any of the Haymon fighters. Oscar left a hole open and got hosed. Oscar was off doing blow and wearing fishnets and I suspect Schaffer saw it as some form of escape hatch if things went to poo poo. Unlike Oscar, Schaffer shows no indication of being an idiot in matters of business.

thehappyprince posted:so floyd - pac can happen now right guys?? I know you are kidding but Schaffer and Haymon were always the two biggest opponents within GB to dealing with Arum, so given that Floyd is going to team up with them, the answer is a resounding "nope".
