Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: If GGG Fight Was Now, Canelo Gets 90-10 Split

[MisanthropicNY]

This fight will happen when Triple G is on the decline for sure... that's how boxing goes nowadays..nobody fights in their primes anymore UNLESS they are part of the same promotional outfit, it's a pure business at milking weak, big names... Floyd mastered the art of that through Al Haymon..

Canelo will fight Triple G when he's vulnerable that's it...nobody above the other guy in marketability is going fight another guy who can beat them... CAnelo fighting Lara only happened because it was a Golden Boy fight..Triple G will have to decline or join Golden Boy to make that fight happen...

Cotto was smaller and had lost and Golden Boy actually played the B-side for that fight..

Alvarez doesn't have to fight Golovkin now... or at all.
He may vacate the WBC belt in 2016 and, presumably, he has time to fight GGG until May 2017 -- as for The Ring strap.

In other words...."we don't want to fight GGG".

Of course Canelo should get the much bigger % of the purse as he's the much bigger star. 90/10 though? LOL. I guess Oscar wasn't serious when he said he wants to make the best and most competitive fights from here on out.

lol 90 to 10 delahoya is on crack still fight should be split 60 to 40 canelo most successful ppv have happened due to bigger names floyd and cotto bring more to the table then canelo a fight with ggg will due very well and would see canelo getting his ass eat to a pulp Oscar will run from this fight for as long as he can

Oscar may very well want to put Canelo in front of Cotto or Floyd (?) again this September...

split 90-10 for Canelo typical mexican math

Canelo is the Star and should get 90% of the loot over GGG. Commies are not accepted in the USA or Mexico.

Well fcuk you Oscar. If you had your way you´d be making movies with Mack. If you are too much of a duck to let Canelo fight GGG just say it and drop the belt.

[Bronx2245]

It was closer to 70/30... with 475k PPV units sold...

75/25 is fair if the fight is at 160, but if it has to be @ 155, then at least 65/35!

I guess the same would apply to a GGG/Cotto fight as well since Cotto's most successful ppv's have been against bigger names like Pac, Canelo and Floyd.

Lets not forget that despite GGG's first ppv doing 97k or 150k (whichever source you want to believe), it still did more than Cotto's first ppv outing that only did around 60k buys.

It's comical I see the exact same guys in this thread saying GGG should just accept the 10%, that it will be more then he's ever made, that were in the old threads saying Pac should have taken the flat $40 million bogus offer from Floyd back in the day. " it's more then he's ever made doe" "who else he gonna make that off doe"

Canelo is gonna get something like 70-30 or he's getting stripped when they turn down a purse bid. He wants to go out like a **** then whatever, he can drop the belt and run away.

And the fight Doctor is still a lame ass *****.

Apples to oranges. Both Pac and Floyd were doing million dollar PPV's against similar competition so for one guy to get a few hundred million and the other to get 40 was ridiculous. At the time that offer was made Floyd was doing bigger numbers but not that much bigger. This was in 2012 before Manny had lost to Bradley and Marquez and had just sold out Cowboy Stadium against Margacheato.
Canelo is a draw and is just getting started headlining his own PPV's. GGG headlined his own event at MSG and had a lot of buzz with his recent endorsements with apple etc.. and we all saw how that turned out.
There is a wide gap in what one fighter brings vs. another. 90/10 may be too far but not that far. Even if GGG took a $5 million flat fee (which I don't think will happen) that would be by far his biggest payday and in line with what he brings marketability wise.
