Holy shit you literally just make shit up. Before there were any Haymon vs HBO problems, Golovkin offered Quillin a fight and he flat out rejected it. That's a fact. He later said he'll only fight Golovkin if it's for (Mayweather-Pacquiao money). Don't even bring up this bum.
And why did he do that? Because the title owner, Cotto, threatened to drop the belt if he didn't. Either way, he wouldn't get the fight and couldn't "put in work". Cotto clearly wasn't going to fight him, we know that.
Wrong again, you're on a roll! Golovkin offered to fight Ward at 168 pounds in 2013, Ward turned down the fight stating, and I quote, "He needs to build his name up."
Fast forward a couple years, after Wards self inflicted exile from the sport, he contacted Golovkin about a fight AFTER Golovkin just signed a fight with Lemieux with the expectation of fighting the WBC winner after that (Cotto/Canelo). Roc Nations offer? Sign to fight at 168 for a year down the road at an unknown date and unknown purse. Not much of an offer, especially considering they had Lemieux on deck and obviously wanted to get the WBC mandatory enforced. You don't take a fight in a weight class above you at an unknown date when you're expecting a Canelo fight to happen. Of course when Golovkin wasn't mandatory to WBC and was in a position to fight wherever he wanted, he offered Ward a fight and he turned it down outright.
Oh poor Canelo only made $10 million versus Cotto who was the champion! Jeez what amazing sacrifice!
No fucking shit all of his fights are catchweights. Before Floyd Mayweather he made guys like Matthew Hatton fight him at 150 pound catchweight, and then failed to make weight lol and still won the vacant belt. He had numerous catchweight fights before Floyd. And he made a gazillion dollars against Mayweather for a glorified sparring session. Poor guy! Again, what amazing sacrifices he's made!
Lol WTF are you even saying? PPV fights are on PPV because one or both fighters are big stars, has little to do with risk (see Canelo vs Khan).
Golovkin vs Sergio Martinez
Golovkin vs Felix Sturm
Golovkin vs Peter Quillin
Golovkin vs Dmitry Pirog
Golovkin vs N'dam
Golovkin vs Cotto
Golovkin vs Canelo
Golovkin vs Froch
Golovkin vs Chavez
Golovkin vs Mundane
These are all fights Golovkin has tried to make and was flat out rejected (with exception to Pirog who pulled out due to injury). Many of those fights were big risks.
Are you seriously this fucking delusional that you're now blaming Golovkin for Canelo handing over his belt because of money? lmao! K2 have said numerous times Canelo would obviously get the lionshare of the purse, no one has ever denied that. The most money Golovkin has made in a fight was $2.5m. They would gladly accept 70/30 split or whatever it may be for the opportunity. But Canelo doesn't want the fight, you said yourself Canelo would get beat with or without a catchweight so there is your reason as to exactly fucking why they aren't fighting Golovkin next (they aren't dumb, they know how risky fighting Golovkin is).
Then why aren't they making the fight? Right, they rather drop the belt, get absolutely slaughtered by fans and media and take a huge hit to his reputation, all for what? There is no logical excuse here man, they didn't want to fight Golovkin next, end of story.
