No announcement yet.
With Khan set to make $13M+ is it safe to say GGG would net $20M+ against Canelo?

Easily. He's actually a name Americans know. UK fighters don't make money, because UKfans don't have to buy PPVs, and Americans don't give a crap about them

Golovkin wouldn't get paid that much. Khan is getting those 13 million in order to give canelos record another pretty ko. I'd expect somewhere in the range of 5-8 million,nowhere near the outrageous 30 million that op is saying.

Golovkin only fights for legacy, not for money.*
*except against Andre Ward. He didn't make financial sense.

It's simple. Look at their social media numbers.
Khan has 10x more fans. Therefore, way more numbers on PPV than GGG will.
And GGG vs Canelo is a much more compelling matchup that will do more buys than the Khan fight. Guaranteed.

Keep in mind the $13M is the guarantee. It says in the article that he could make even more on the back end when everything is said and done. You would have to assume he'd take some of the U.S. PPV money too even though it's not mentioned.
Team Golovkin might seriously want to reconsider their "not going to 155lbs" stance for Canelo. It's clear to me that Canelo won't budge on the weight, so essentially Team GGG will be throwing away 20-30 million for avoiding the fight at that weight. A weight that his team said they'd go down to, to fight Floyd Mayweather (154 lbs).
Keep in mind this fight would likely take place at AT&T Stadium (Cowboys Stadium) which seats over 100,000 people. Because of the compelling matchup, the ticket prices would be at premier prices with an exception for the nosebleeds. I think the PPV would do at least 1.5M - 2M homes at $80 a piece.
