    Boxing is both a sport and a buisiness. Two of the most important aspects of boxing is winning and getting paid. The more you win chances are the better you get paid but what happens when you are towards the top and no one wants to step in the ring with you such as Gennady Golovkin? Golovkin has been positioned to fight Daniel Geale twice before and Geale did not follow through with the bout. So how did Geale come to terms with accepting the fight with Golovkin? Well, according to Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez Geale might not have been fully prepared and the finances might have not been what he expected. You have to look at it from a buisiness perspective and now that HBO has upped their budget it gives more chances for better fights. As the old saying goes, money talks.

    “I think we have to look at this as a buisiness, said Sanchez. “Those guys worked tirelessly in the amatuers for years and years and in the pros for years and years and at a certain point you just don’t want to give it away. If you have a guy that you do not have a 50-50 chance of beating at the moment does not mean in the future you’re not going to.”
