Golovkin should just take the 10 million...

Cotto-Canelo did 900,000 because it was Cotto fighting Canelo. There are a lot of people that still don't know who Golovkin is. That is changing with each fight.

The purse for Brook-Golovkin would be more than the purse for Eubank-Golovkin... Brook is a bigger draw in the UK Eddie Hearn and Matchroom have confirmed that Brook came in at the last moment and signed the exact terms that Eubank was offered.

It will easily do way more than 1 million. Cotto-Canelo did 900,000. Cotto-Canelo did 900,000 because it was Cotto fighting Canelo. There are a lot of people that still don't know who Golovkin is.

Why aren't you sure? The purse for Brook-Golovkin would be more than the purse for Eubank-Golovkin... Brook is a bigger draw in the UK

Because if that's what it takes to finally get the big pay day, and big name fight he's been looking for, then freaking take it! I mean, he's supposed to win, right? Win the match, then get paid double for the rematch. That's usually how it works. Yes, you can make more if you hold out, but that also risks the fight disappearing in front of your eyes. Fighter after fighter has had to do this in the history of boxing. Why the **** is GGG so special? And he'd be the favorite. Win, then get the major major bucks in the rematch. Is it fair, no, but WTF else id he gonna do? Continue to hold out, then they take the deal off the table, and can then use the excuse of GGG proving himself out as a valid excuse, and us fans won't be able to do a damn thing about it, and neither will GGG, or his team. That's why you do it, genius. 1. Again, nobody accepts a flat fee a year out, from a fight that's one of the most highly anticipated fights in boxing, that would gross millions in PPV. Give me one example of anyone who's done that, genius. No businessman would accept those terms for their fighter. 2. Nobody can guarantee there'd be a rematch. 3. Canelo's options are severely limited at MW. There's only 2 belt holders left, and GG is about to face one of them. Unless either of them lose, once Jacobs and BJS have been taken out of the equation, there would be no other belts left to fight for, and no big money fights at the weight which would be relevant. Yes, GG could lose to Jacobs, just like Canelo could lose to BJS if they were to fight. Nothing is guaranteed. But both guys obviously feel supremely confident in themselves, and if GG could add another belt, or even both of them, it would give him more leverage. The main thing to focus on here, is that Oscar's offer is obviously not genuine. Because if he was serious about the fight, he would offer a fair percentage, and it would be done face to face, privately. The offer that he's just released is bogus and has only been designed to fool guys like yourself. The fact that the contract isn't even until September, 2017, is absolutely laughable.

I'm not too sure about that one breds Why aren't you sure?

I would not be shocked if the fight did not happen until 2019 if at all, Canelo does NOT need GGG, GGG is the one who NEEDS Canelo to make anywhere close to ten million. Not saying he should have taken it but he may come to regret taking it before ultimately he ends up suffering a loss at a higher weight class before he gets the chance to fight Canelo. Guys at 168 like Zurdo and Jack I'm sure he will beat but I'm sure a star will rise from somewhere and the demand to face GGG sooner rather than later, now we know he's not the greatest in regards to defence and if this fight with Froch comes off the likelihood is if Froch has the desire he had versus Kessler he'll beat him. Again, it works both ways. GG can't earn $10m with anyone else, but Canelo also can't make the same amount of money that a GG fight would generate for him. Regarding moving up to SMW, I don't think he'd do that before he fought Canelo. I also don't see Froch coming out of retirement.

Why? Why would he agree something a year out, with a company who has messed him around and proven to be untrustworthy? Why would he accept a flat fee from a fight that would gross millions in revenue? Ooh, it's guaranteed. Wow! How kind of GBP. Because if that's what it takes to finally get the big pay day, and big name fight he's been looking for, then freaking take it! I mean, he's supposed to win, right?

YRegarding Brook, GG was initially scheduled to fight Eubank for the same $5m purse. I'm not too sure about that one breds

If Oscar isn't planning for Canelo to face GG until 2018, Canelo is going to be abused, and his PPV numbers will continue to be poor, unless he fights Manny or Floyd, which in my opinion are unrealistic.

Canelo has never fought at the full weight limit, GGG has. I don't expect Canelo to fight at anything above 157 against Lemieux and BJ Flounders, then finally when he decides to give GGG the opportunity to face him I don't see it being above 158 in 2018 at the earliest. If Oscar isn't planning for Canelo to face GG until 2018, Canelo is going to be abused, and his PPV numbers will continue to be poor, unless he fights Manny or Floyd, which in my opinion is unrealistic.

This fight might not do 1M ppv. You guys have overestimate both fighters popularity It will easily do way more than 1 million. Cotto-Canelo did 900,000.

Wait, there's a debate within the GGG camp as to whether he should take a guarunteed $10 mil to fight Canelo? If he doesn't take this, he doesn't deserve another payday in his life. Why? Why would he agree something a year out, with a company who has messed him around and proven to be untrustworthy? Why would he accept a flat fee from a fight that would gross millions in revenue?

canelo my boy ftw

10 mill is nothing, he can make that elsewhere, fighting anyone else, with his crazy drawing power My sarcasm detector is off today, you're joking right?

Canelo has options, but none of them are great that bring in huge money. Lemieux was considered a bum when GG beat him, so why is he going to be a big relevant fight for Canelo?? Canelo has never fought at the full weight limit, GGG has. I don't expect Canelo to fight at anything above 157 against Lemieux and BJ Flounders, then finally when he decides to give GGG the opportunity to face him I don't see it being above 158 in 2018 at the earliest.

GGG needs to fight someone and soon. That's all.

This fight might not do 1M ppv. You guys have overestimate both fighters popularity
