According to Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs), he is ready to fight middleweight king Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) this coming September.

The first order of business for Canelo is to face his country rival, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., at a catch-weight of 164.5-pounds. Their fight is scheduled for May 6 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Golovkin has some business of his own, when he makes a mandatory defense against Daniel Jacobs on March 18th at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Canelo's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, revealed that a new offer was pitched over to Golovkin that rivals previous reports of a $10 million guarantee to fight in the fall. There has been talk of a new guarantee of $15 million being placed on the table.

"It's the most lucrative offer he's ever had. The fight is there, but first things first - we'll see what happens on May 6 with Chavez... it's a tough fight, but the offer [to Golovkin] is there. [As far as making this Golovkin fight happen] - it's not about Canelo, it's not about me... it's about GGG," De La Hoya told ESPN Deportes.

"Canelo does not shy away from anyone. He wants the best... he faced Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto... now Julio Cesar Chavez and he's barely 26 years old."

Canelo is on the same page with his promoter. He says a massive offer is on the table - and it's up to Golovkin to take it or leave it. The Mexican star believes Golovkin should accept the blame if the fight doesn't happen.

"He was offered [the fight]," Canelo said. "We put it on the table and it's up to him to accept the fight. We're ready to do it, we're ready for the day. If it doesn't happen, then it's because he didn't want to do it."

The big issue is not the amount of the guarantee. Golovkin is not willing to accept a flat fee, because it removes him from earning any revenue related to the event itself and the full pay-per-view profits. Golovkin's handlers are attempted to secure a deal where their fighter receives a respectable percentage of the entire revenue pot.
