GGG vs. David Lemieux up next?

Gennady Golovkin wasted little time in calling out newly minted IBF middleweight champion, David Lemieux.  However, Eric Gomez, VP and matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, told boxing scene.com - "We got the letter already (from the IBF).  He's going to have a mandatory.  When you win a vacant title you have to do a mandatory next.  So, we'll see what happens there.

"He's going to take a break, he's going to go on vacation for a little big and then we're going to sit down and talk with him and see what's next.  It was a great victory and I think he deserves a little rest."

"We've discussed it and I talked to Tom Loeffler and I know he's interested.  Look, Lemieux's willing to fight anybody and it's just a matter of making the best move and figuring out what's next and figuring out the situation with the IBF."

That all sounds great, but then this was listed on twitter by Tom Loeffler :
