GGG Conference Call For Canelo Rematch

Courtesy of the Mayweather Boxing Channel, here is the full conference call for Golovkin, which also features Abel Sanchez (Golovkin's trainer) and Tom Loeffler (promoter). In this phone interview, Triple G answers the questions in Russian using an English translator. The general feeling from listening to this, is Gennady appears a little bit annoyed with all drama that's been going on with the Canelo camp and just wants the 15th September to hurry up and arrive so he can do his talking in the ring.

This call also somewhat clears up the rumours and controversy about the complaints regarding the boxing gloves Canelo wanted to wear in the rematch and the hand wrapping that has been contested against. The one thing that was really surprising to hear in this call was the fact that this fight is not even sold out yet.

There are still tickets available, which seems crazy for a fight of this magnitude. Maybe as the fight draws closer and the excitement builds, we could see a last minute spurt in ticket sales, which hopefully, for boxing's sake, sees the event become a sell out. PPV sales should still be high.

After all, these are two of the biggest names in the sport. However, the most probable reason why this fight is suffering in terms of ticket sales, and quite possibly PPV numbers, is down to the controversial decision in their first fight, where almost everyone thought Golovkin won. It's clear that people are getting tired of paying for what they see as corruption.
