The fight is less than a week away. I think it's a sham but let's hope for a competitive fight. I'm giving smith a shot at the upset because of the weight advantage (Canelo is draining himself) and he can box. However Saul is a young vet and has the size advantage. I predict Late stoppage for Canelo.
What say you?
So the Charlo twins are champs now.. so Canelo is going to fight them right? Lara is just going to sit there again, should move up to Middleweight after all this time I think.
Boxing moves very slowly..
INSIDE SOURCES reveal, Canelo-Smith barely broke 62K PPV buys. Oscar trying to inflate the numbers until the official report is released.— 24/7 Boxing (@247boxingnews) September 20, 2016
Their is no way GGG does more buys the Canelo, ever. Period.
Why is it you think GGG still wants to face Canelo even now without the WBC belt on the line or the lineal champion at stake.

I'm really glad I made the decision to
A) Not go to this fight (I live in Dallas)
and
B) Not get this sh*t on PPV
Smith was never going to test Canelo.
Your right, he can fill it against a nobody and Golovkin can make 10 million fighting two Kell Brooks. I mean it comes down to whats fair. Canelo is the draw but they arent going to get the massive PPV and gate with out Golovkin. I woulnt budge off of 55/45 or 60/40. If GBP doesnt like that fuk em.
the A side makes the offers, if k2 doesnt like it they can go kick cans, i mean rocks....
... Canelo doesn't need Golovkin to make big money?
So why he talked only about GGG for weeks prior to the fight? :)
yep, all those 50k fans were there for ggg..
you should be asking the media why continue to ask canelo about ggg...
You just said it yourself, Canelo filled the place against a nobody. He can draw crowds like that any time he wants. He doesn't need Golovkin to make big money.
It's Golovkin who needs him. If I was Lil G I'd take the $10 million and go for it. Should he beat Canelo he takes the torch and becomes more well known to PPV audiences as the man to beat from then on. It would be his Floyd vs Oscar moment.
Plus for sure there would be a rematch clause and he can ask for a much bigger share of the purse the next time around.

Exactly but its become obvious now that ggg has priced himself out the fight.
SMH, Candelita got like 3.5MM plus a mill or so for PPV upside, yet posters are ready to believe that GGG was offered over 10MM to fight the diva, LMAO.
How gullible are some of you guys, for real.

They are going to have to sweeten it because Alvarez looks like a biatch. To be honest with you i would rather see Golovkin get his last belt since he is dead set on it and go to 168. Canelo will get his eyes swole shut by the 5th round anyway. You ****ing guys who think Golovkin should take seriously short money on the most lucrative fight that can be made right now are ridiculous. I would have told Canelo and Oscar to piss off long ago myself.
The diva and her pimp will never fight GGG and he knows it.
He'll stomp Jacobs out, then put Saunders to sleep before he moves up to stop Ramirez. Once that happens, DeGale will change his stance on fighting GGG so he might put an end to AA's career with a KO victory.
Meanwhile the diva will move back to 160 and force Lemieux to fight her at a CW of 155.
Just watched the post fight presser. It looks like the offer Oscar made was 10 million and Golovkins team hasn't responded to it. I don't pay too much attention to the business side of things on boxing but I'd say they are going to have to sweeten that a bit. I was there in person and Canelo filled that place up fighting an unheard of guy. If he and Golovkin fought there it wod be a PPV smash and they could probably bring in 60k plus in attendance. I ll be there I promise you if it happens there but this time ill be about 10 rows back from the ring. It was an awesome experience.

you're kinda of thinking will leave GGG out in the cold, the guy is old in boxing in yrs he has no time to be playing the waiting game.
GGG needs canelo not the other way around Canelo is proven already he's faced and beaten great fighters already at only 26 yrs old.
GGG meanwhile has done squat compares to young Canelo.
Oh well ggg can go pick up another meaningless title cuz that does seem to be more important for him than actually taking risks in getting the big fight.
Soon ggg will be forgotton or will only be remembered as a what "if" fighter and he'll only have himself to blame.
You are very wrong about that. Golovkin didnt hand his belt over to Canelo and drop a weight class to avoid him. Whether thats the entire truth or not its the perception and perception is reality. Canelo wants to erase doubt that he and his team created, he is gonna have to come off some cash.
Why should they sweetened it?
Golovkin as much as his fans want to make you believe is not a draw he's not known to the casuals and unfortunately they are to ones that will pack the arena.
GGG can't negotiate hes gotta take whats offered to him if not then he can go end his career as a complete unknown outside of tge hardcores
