If GGG is mandatory

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

They are free to negotiate weight, its a private deal between them both

However, if Canelo turns down the fight because GGG wants it at 160, then the title will be vacated. Golovkin has the upper hand there, assuming GGG is happy with a 30% split of the purse (PPV excluded). Golovkin has the right to challenge for the WBC title with standard championship rules at a set split of the purse.

If Canelo wants to keep the title, and fight at a catchweight, he may need to offer GGG more money for him to agree.

Thank you. Been looking for the answer to this question myself.

GGG is not only mandatory but by holding the WBC interim belt he doesn't have to agree to any weight , and by law Canelo will have to give up the belt...

Now if GGG want money he can agree to Canelo or he can just let Canelo give him the belt

[M Bison]

the guy who weighs 175 on fight night can't fight the guy who weighs 169 on fight night because the 169 guy is too big so he needs a catch weight to make it more fair

If anything Canelo might make himself stronger and better conditioned If he allows it to go to 160lbs.

they are free to negotiate and try to make a deal. If they cant, then there are a few things that could happen:

1. If canelo just has no interest in the fight, he will be stripped, and GGG gets elevated to full champ

2. If Canelo DOES want to fight GGG but they simply cant agree on terms, then the fight would go to purse bid, at typical WBC money split (unless either side petitions WBC for adjusted split), and at 160 pounds. No catchweights are possible when a fight goes to purse bid.

3. Even if it went to bid, either side could still walk away after the bid if they didnt like the numbers. If Canelo walked away, he gets stripped and GGG is full champ. If GGG walked away (not likely), he would be stripped of the interim title, and Canelo would stay champ and fight whoever he wants.


There technically is also an option #4, which is that Canelo pays GGG some step aside money to hang on to the title for now, Canelo fights someone else on cinco de mayo, and they agree to meet next september or something. GGG would likely do the Johnson IBF mando in Feb, and maybe try and get the Lee-Saunders winner in May/June. The WBC has not really addressed if they would allow yet another step aside deal or not, but they probably would.
