Chavez jr: I'm getting 20% of the PPV split. Golovkin gets flat fee?

[Canelo and GGG]

If Chavez vs Canelo is a bigger fight than GGG vs Caneno then why are so many members of this board angry that Canelo is fighting Chavez instead of GGG and trying to make it GGG's fault?

Cuse they cant understand that only one who cant reach a deal is GGG,Canelo and Chavezz will make milions and give a good fight and they are angry cuse everybody "duck",Canelo and GBP proved that they can do big fights,K2 cant do ****,K2 is notorious for being hard to work.

[OnePunch]

All of this is true IF you ignore that Canelo/GBP have sent a contract to GGG. The Golovkin team are - on record - rejecting the terms of the contract.

We do not know if they sent a counter-offer. Instead we just know the terms "weren't good enough" for GGG. Even though it would clearly be a career-high payday for 35 year old Khazak.

Put down your Kool Aid and open your eyes

and you dont know if they rejected it because of the money, or because of other terms or conditions in the offer.

Was there language limiting GGGs revenue in a potential rematch?

Was Golden Boy wanting options on GGG going forward?

Was there an escape clause in the contract that would let Golden Boy pull out before Sept 2017? (this is likely since their Chavez offer has a rematch clause)

There are more things than just the money that need to be negotiated in a fight.........

Indeed but Chavez is an irrelevant bum and the fight is a side show. You'd hope a much stronger B side gets better money for the biggest fight in boxing

I believe Chavez brings in more buyers than Lil G. Due to the large and passionate Mexican fan base.

He will make more ,from Mexico TV rights and sponsors,plus PPV will do good numbers.

The PPV will likely do good numbers, yes. More than a Canelo vs GGG card would do probably.

[ShoulderRoll]

$6 mil is the guarantee, he's not getting $6 mil + 20%. He'll start getting 20% when/if the fight makes the guarantees.

You're right. I didn't think about that.

In that case Chavez will likely end up making far less than $15 million.

No chit man, Golden Boy has no other star, didnt it show that Canelo accounted for over 80 percent of Golden boys earnings last year? if Canelo loses they have nothing left. Oscar is screwed all his fighters went with Haymon becaue he was busy snorting coke the snake Richard Shaeffer was fuking him over while he was in rehab lol. Oscar is stupid he never realized what Richard was doing pretending to be his brother and friend only to screw him in the end by not signing any of those fighters to longer term contracts lol Haymon got Oscar good there.

You'd be wrong tho. Have you seen Chavez ratings lately? Nobody tunes in. Not only that, there's like complete overlap between Canelos and his fanbases, he brings barely any extra. Zero appeal for non Mexicans either. Ever seen 2 Mexicans sell 1m on ppv? Will do great on box azteca or whatever

The fact that 15 million would be GGG's biggest pay day has nothing to do with anything. That's the same argument that Pacquiao haters used to say he should take Mayweather's flat fee offer of 30 million. Pacquiao stood his ground and made many times 30 million. Chavez vs Canelo is a big fight but it isn't the fight the whole boxing world is dying to see. GGG vs Canelo is a much bigger fight. Even if an offer of 15 million is really on the table, which I doubt, why should GGG accept it knowing Canelo might make as much as 50 million. Oscar isn't fair or neutral. He wants most of the money and he really wants the fight not to happen for years. GGG and his team can decide for themselves what is or isn't a fair offer without any assistance from guys on this board who hate him. GGG should be getting at least 35 percent rather than the 20 percent Chavez gets because GIGANTIC G vs Canelo is a much bigger fight than Chavez vs Canelo. They can't have that fight without him.

Actually, the 15 million being Lil g's biggest payday has EVERYTHING to do with it.

Comparisons with Pac are irrelevant and inaccurate.

Pac was himself a PPV star who brought his own audience and could muster what Floyd was offering as a flat fee in one or two fights.

By contrast, Lil g's CAREER earnings now stand at about 25 million- 15 million is a HUGE chunk for him.

Canelo and GBP owe Golovkin nothing. It isn't their job or concern to treat Lil g "fair" financially.

But really, based on what Gennady has made his whole career, 15 million is more than fair.

We'll see.

I await the PPV numbers for this fight as well as for Golovkin-Jacobs.

Simple... also, the date was put by Canelo, so there's no rush in signing anything. So we have to wait until after GGG beats Jacobs and Canelo beats Jr.

[Chuckguy]

Haha, Canelo got burned.

I love how the hate squad is making it sound like GBP is overpaying with the 15M offer. Oscar the generous is doing Golovkin a big favor with that offer, and Golovkin is just an ungrateful man who refuses. Shame on that Kazakh!

Here's the simple fact: If the 15M flat fee was not great for GBP's business, they would not have offered it. It's a lowball, end of story.

Exactly this. But the ggg haters are blinded by their hate.
