On September 16th, Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, also known as ‘Triple G’ will step into the ring for a highly anticipated middleweight title fight<\/a> against Canelo Alvarez many years in the making.<\/p>\n

Several weeks before however, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor<\/a>, and undefeated prizefighter Floyd Mayweather will step into the ring at the T-Mobile Arena for a boxing match that is being dubbed the biggest fight of all time. While Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya attempted to prevent the fight from ever taking place<\/a>, he has now stated that he isn’t too worried about the fight between McGregor and Mayweather drawing attention away from the Alvarez-GGG fight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During their recent round of media tours, both GGG and Alvarez spoke about the Mayweater-McGregor fight on Sirius XM Rush<\/a>, with GGG saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a fight. My fight with Canelo is a fight. This is show. Conor with Floyd is show \u2014 business show or a funny show, or for somebody\u2019s interest show, not for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not for boxing. This is not for boxing. This is for people, for business. My fight with Canelo, this is boxing. This is true fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I respect McGregor [as] a UFC fighter, [but] he\u2019s not a boxer. He\u2019s a good fighter, he\u2019s not a boxer.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alvarez then spoke on the fight, after already being asked about it numerous times throughout the day:<\/p>\n

\"Floyd<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been asked that throughout the day in many interviews. I really don\u2019t have a comment about that fight, but I will say this- I think that the fans will speak, they\u2019ll know what to do. They\u2019ll know the difference between a sideshow and a real fight, and they\u2019ll decide what they want to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fortunately, the two evens do take place several weeks apart, so fight fans will not have to decide between the two events. With that being said however, which event are you more interested in watching?<\/p>\n
