Ariel Helwani: "GSP said Silva fight not going to happen"

does not want to fight silva now' he said so and the reason why on TLMEP, a french show. I would suggest you listen to it
|
I did not watch/listen to the show, but apparently his reason was if/when he beat Silva there would be nothing left to accomplish and he would have to then retire. |

I really think GSP would be making a huge mistake fighting Silva. GSP is a business... and his business will lose a ton of its value if he loses to Silva.

What an awful excuse, he doesn't want to lose, wish he would say that instead.

GSP loses to current AS. I think he wants to see Anderson start to fade before he nuts up to the bar. It really doesn't make sense though, it'll be a big money fight for the both of them, and they still have enough for a potential rematch within the next couple years. It's not as if GSP hasn't rebounded well from his past losses.

Anderson needs to make 170lbs and then it will have to happen. Otherwise I dont see why GSP should have to move up weight.

gsp leaving $20+ mil on the table? Wow, that's like 4 regular title defense fights which is what, 2 years worth.
Catchweight fight loss wouldn't hurt his cache unless he got slaughtered.

It's obvious Floyd doesn't want to fight Pacman. We should just brand him as a coward and move on.

Damn...I do not believe it's a money issue either. He knows what he's up against. I wish he would say it out right something like this.
"I believe Anderson Silva is the best and true #1 P4P in the planet. It will be a very difficult match for me and yes I would be scared not just about losing, but losing my sponsorship and hurting my legacy. I'm a man and I will admit this. Look at what he's done in the 185 and LHW division."
In the end I respect GSP nonetheless. He's a great ambassador for the sport, but I wish this fight would happen...BADLY.
*NOTE* We saw BJ vs Hughes x3 and GSP x2.
Vitor at 185, 205 LHW champ, 225champ (pre 2000 UFC).
Randy - 205 champ + 225 champ

Who cares really. It's a fun fight but makes little sense. Anderson has been fighting at 205 a few times now, if anything he should go after Jon Jones. Meanwhile GSP has a guy on his division who's knocking contenders out left and right. A fight with Hendricks makes much more sense.
