Light work for GGG.  Buncey reeled off a disturbing stat.  Out of the 6 years GGG has been middleweight champ there have been 16 other world middleweight champion, of which only 2 have had the balls of face him, Lemieux and Geale.  

 

Talking of which, Billy-Joe keeps on saying that he's a traveler and that they're fighting people, will fight anyone and that it isn't about the money, etc, but at the same time basically came flat out and said that he won't fight GGG because he knows that he'll lose!

He's not yknow, hes said the opposite and they were supposed to be going for Golovkin this summer, with Mad Max Bursak as a warm up in April, which has been cancelled cuz of a hand injury.

What he actually said was about 18 months ago before the Eubank fight that 'Golovkin would beat me and Eubank on the same night', elaborating on those comments by saying that he didnt think he was ready to fight Golovkin who he considered P4P best but would be in 18 months to 2 yrs time, having hopefully won a world title...and since winning his world title hes said that he wants it with Golovkin...and yknow for all the talk of him ducking etc its worth remembering he only won the title 4 months ago.

The only condition hes put on is he wants to fight in England, preferably Emirates Stadium :D

I didn't think it was as long ago as that, but the point still stands; you can't say that you'll fight anyone, anytime and then go "Oh, but that doesn't include anyone that would probably beat me". :lol:

Carefull if he fights at The Emirates, Len; his lot might steal the turf.

Yeah but at the time he was 20 fights into his career, just won the vacant European belt, he weren't even in the conversation to fight GGG at that point, hadn't even won a world title, its not like the fight had presented itself and he said no he'll beat me, he was an up and coming kid.  

As far as the turf they could fuckin have it, its not like The Arsenal have made much use of it this season :lol:

He should have said, when asked "Of course I'd beat the cunt. I'm a traveler and we fight anyone. Did I mention that it's not about the money?! Now that that's over, where's my money?"

GGG is going to leave another big red mark on the other side of his face.

I like GGG but...but but but...end of the day he's not fought no one.  He's not really fought a big big name.  Not say Bill is a big big name, just saying his resume is a little sparse.  GGG's very technically gifted to but if someone is going to beat him he's gonna have to be a technically gifted slickster, a jab and move guy, one that moves opponents about well, can turn them, exploit space, lead with a jab...who am i describing?  Correct, Bill.  Now i know everyone'll say he's (GGGs) not fought anyone cuz they're avoided him...but being avoided is not necessarily an indicator of you winning those fights if they did happen, Mayweather Pacquiao was proof of that.

It's funny, really; some have GGG down as an all time great already, and have had him there for quite a few fights at that.

It's worth bearing in mind also that he's 34 now.  34 and he's not really fought anyone in terms of the big big fighters.  How long of a career does he have to make that record look worthy of an all time great?

He should have called out Pretty Boy Floyd. I know there's a size difference, but bigger gaps have been closed down.

He did say he wanted to fight Floyd and even went so far as to say Floyd is the only person he'd come down to a 154 catchweight for.

Too late now, I think. Floyd is too busy busying Hermes handbags. :lol:

Did you see the time he tried to get Warren Buffett on his 24/7 show and Buffett backed out after realising what a cockstain he was :lol:  He's got the air of a lottery winner about him, doesn't he?  A dredger who just won lotto millions and can't stop taking photos of himself next to piles of cash.

It's really, really sad. We all know that he has lots of cash, but taking pictures of it is just laughably pathetic. Buffett could buy and sell Floyd and not even miss the petty cash. Hell, Jimmy Buffett could buy and sell Floyd! :lol:

It's all a fuckin' bluff, he claims he's making all this money since retirement, a million a month...but from what?  Mayweather Promotions?  All their fighters are shit, only halfway decent one is Badou Jack and I'm not even sure he's with em anymore.  Erroll Spence is a prospect, other than that J'Leon Love is a bag of shite with the name of gay pornstar.  He's forever gobbing off about Mayweather promotions doing these kinds of record numbers...and it's like yeah, with you they did.  Even his numbers are inflated, Pacman and Money 'the biggest fight ever', based off of PPV numbers is a joke, fuckin' 90,000 people filled dodgers stadium to watch Louis v Schmeling, MGM grand don't even house but 30.  If you were to quantify the amounts of people that listened to Louis Schmeling on the radio I'm sure it'd go into the hundreds of millions, it was ridiculous how massive that fight was.  And aside from all of Floyds moneyspinning fights were only lucrative because he was fighting a popular fighter, his biggest numbers were against De La Hoya, Canelo, Pacman, Hatton...all fights where the opposition bought a MASSIVE fuckin' audience.

Other than that he has a lot of motors...but it's not like he buys em outright, these richies have deals with dealerships where they buy a car, have it for 18 months, trade it in for a new one with a bit of extra cash.  Apparently he's into fuckin' medical marijuana now, which is hardly novel, half the rappers on earth are doing that shit and they ain't exactly minted.  It's all just a bunch of bluff.  

Having said all this i truly hope he holds onto his money, however much of a cock he is i wouldn't like to sit here and wish ill on a perfect stranger just cuz he gets on my wick.  And lets keep it in perspective here, he's worth what, half a billion?  Between 400 to 600 K.  Paul McCartneys got twice that and he don't walk around with bundles of notes tied around his head.

I'm not sure he's worth even that much. According to Fiddly-Diddly-Cent, and we should take that with a pinch of salt given his own travails, Floyd doesn't anywhere near what people think. I'm sure 50 Cent said something like Floyd "only" has around 50-60 million and the rest is just hot air, and that he spends it as fast as he makes it. It's hard to say, but celebrities always have their worth massively, massively overstated by the press who, let's be frank, have no clue what anyone does or doesn't have, just guesses. Heck, they had Madonna down as a billionaire, and Jessica Simpson, too! It wouldn't surprise me to see Floyd do a Tyson.

It was brought to my attention that, actually, the only people who show up on these Forbes lists are the ones who want to, hence why you see people like James Blunt on there but not Noel Gallagher, who clearly is fuckin' minted, like WELL minted as far as your modern pop star goes.  Apparently the way you make the list is by showing em bank statements or accountants letters as proof of income, I'd never fuckin' do that one way or the other...and quite apart from that it's easy to make shit look good if thats the criteria eh?

Some parts are easy to ascertain; if you own a certain percentage of shares in a company they can find out how many and they obviously know the share price, but above and beyond that it is next to impossible to really know. Felix Dennis summed it up when he said "If I don't know how much money I have, and my accountants don't know, then how can The Sunday Times Rich List?".

Well, Felix Dennis (the first man to say "cunt" on UK TV. :P) was right; who cares whether you're on the Rich List or not? Like he said, there are people that are on the list that he knows for fact are bankrupt and have a net worth of zero, or in the minuses, and other people who would be on the list but nobody has ever heard of. Do you remember when Piddly-Diddy Puff had just really hit it big with I'll Be Missing You and everyone was saying how much $ he had? Well, I remember an article back then that pointed out that the media was saying he was worth $40 million or something, but failed to take into account that he had about $50 million of debts tied to his assets. In real terms he had a net worth of - $10 million!
