Comments Thread For: Lara's Trainer: Canelo is Facing Chavez Jr. at 165, No GGG at 160?

[Shadoww702]

In my opinion a somewhat obscure mandatory challenger with no significant following is being "excessive" when they are demanding north of $2 million.

But thats just my opinion. They are free to try and get more, and in this instance they were successful. It could just as easily torpedoed the fight.

What did Jacobs finally even get??? The thing is sometimes you have to spend money to make money. Look at how much the tickets are going for??? And they are in high demand. You think they could have tickets this high for Heiland, Curbsize, or Tureno???

Easy because Chavez Jr. is willing fight for $6,000,000 and GGG thinks $15,000,000 IS CHUMP change and wants at LEAST 40℅ which will be MORE than what Canelo OR GoldenBoy will get.

GGG 40%
Goldenboy 40℅
Canelo 20℅

Lol!!! The fight will NEVER get made with that BS.

Or maybe??!

GGG 40℅
GB 30℅
Canelo 30℅

Nope STILL don't work!

You're numbers are wrong but carry on

Ronnie Shields, who trains WBA/IBO junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara and IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, is not exactly sure why WBO junior middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is heading up to a catch-weight of 164.5-pounds to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Not sure why people are mad at this fight, especially the "boxing is a business" crowd. They should be excited counting all the numbers. Why are these guys so mad?

[Vasyl’s dad]

Canelo is just 26 ggg will be 35. Ggg in no position to demand anything but accept his highest pay day and make 3-4 times what he has ever made or ever will make fighting anyone else. 15 f.uckin million!! Enough said. If he don't take it, he ducking plain and simple.

Why take 15 when you know you are worth at least twice as much?

[Robi13]

Im just keeping it short because can't bebothered getting into it too much explained it several times before...
$15m flat fee is a fxcking joke and its a year in advance, either give a percentage or fxck right off and stop pretending you want this fight.
Canelo can have 60-40 or 65-35 but him and his team need to stop fooling everyone.

lol, the only fools are ggg and his fans for thinking Canelo should give him more then the 15 mil guarantee plus at the full 160, what does ggg want? Canelo owns no strap at this point. He wants money! Oh and not to mention he is also fighting for the right to be cash cow and boxings number one star which is the biggest prize of them all in this fight. Something only Canelo offers.

Why take 15 when you know you are worth at least twice as much?

what's his highest purse to date? It's below 7 so that is at least double or maybe even triple what he has ever made at 35 yrs now. Nothing wrong with him negotiating, after all ta a business. He can try, all I'm saying is Canelo and gbp should of made him come to 155 and kept it at 10 mil. Take it or leave it. If he leaves it, Canelo loses nothing. Canelo has 10+ years left in the game that's at least 20 more fights barring any injuries... Ggg is in a bad spot in this fight. He can take it or leave it .

[robbyheartbaby]

Man everyone knows carrot top is a little bi*** he ducked GGG hard, of course he wants to fight an older GGG. It's PATHETIC shame on Canelo!

[Vnecaxa]

I don't recall Canelo ever calling himself a middle weight.

He's the Lineal middleweight champion, ain't he?

[SeekDaGreat]

Hey Shields, you idiot. 160 is not an issue. Where have you been the last year? Heating up Lara's pre workout Tamales?
