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

[Irony123]

Again you can't compare GGG now to Canelo 2 years ago against Angulo because he's more popular now then he was against Angulo. Either compare where Canelo was 2 years ago to Angulo when he did 350K to GGG 2 years ago when he couldn't even fill an arena and had 0 PPVs. Or compare Canelo now to GGG now. If you think Canelo commands the same purse after he beat Cotto as he did going into a Angulo fight your a dumb as phuk. And stop you know damn well Canelo was no B side against Cotto. Cotto and Canelo both fought on regular HBO earlier this year. One guy sold out a baseball stadium and did 2.2m viewers on HBO. The other didn't. At all the press conferences for the fight who's fan base dominated? INCLUDING IN NYC BY THE WAY! When HBO aired their 24/7 who did HBO show and focus on first Canelo or Cotto? Did that arena in Vegas look like Cotto house or a Canelo house? Cotto got first name billing that's all. Canelo brought more fans to the table.

i am sorry but Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez purses: Cotto $15 million, Canelo $5 million. if that's not being B side to Cotto then i don't know what is. Cotto was the A side, the purse split usually is the driving factor behind determining who the A and the B side is.

As far as Angulo goes i am making a comparison between comparable fighters. i can't compare Canelos's last PPV to GGGs last PPV because Lemiux and Cotto have different drawing power. Its like saying that Berto has 3x drawing power over GGG because he did 500k vs Mayweather... how can you justify that.

If in the next fight Canelo fights a nobody and does 900k (or even 600k) i will come on here and admit i am wrong and you are god all mighty and know it all but somehow i doubt Canello breaks 600k facing Liam smith or Rosado, or Monroe

There is only ONE champion per division, Genius. Bumlovkin is NOT the champion @ middleweight...

Yes he is sorry but you are incorrect, your analysis is incorrect and you know it. Golovkin is certainly number one at 160 only a fool would disagree with that fact.

There will be no purse bid if GGG does not agree to the terms Canelo will either vacate the belt or the WBC will do something ****** like elevate him to Super champion like we saw with Bradley this week. Either way the purse bid will have no impact on the negotiated terms.

I'd suggest there is some negative PR from Canelo not fighting GGG. Although if they can make GGG the guy who won't go to 155, who won't accept 90/10 or other things Oscar is throwing out there it lessens or takes away the blow completely.

And how is Oscar afraid to throw Canelo to the lions he is 25 and has already fought Trout, Floyd, Lara and Cotto in a 2 year span. Come on you are better then that. If that is playing it safe then please tell me what is going on with Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, Deontay Wilder ect all fighters much older then Canelo who have yet to fight 1 legit top fighter. Yet Canelo is fighting top guys left and right and is only 25? GGG is 33 about to turn 34 and yet Canelo has already fought 10 world champs more then double that of GGG. When is K2 going to throw GGG to lions and make him fight the best fighters at 154 and 168 like GGG and K2 said they were willing to do?

You say all that & I even say Canelo beats GGG, but the reality remains that Oscar seems to not wanna make this fight without a bunch of bells & whistles involved. Seems like you just offer GGG a $3M-$6M purse, a 155-158 catchweight & get this fight made on Cinco De Mayo 2016.

That's cause Oscar knows boxing much better than you and understands Canelo has very little chance, and probably takes a career altering beatdown. Why would a responsible promoter do something like that to his biggest prize, the biggest star in all of boxing? So lets get the fraud champ stripped and move on

The Better Record Should Get The Most Money

GGG is a huge draw in the sport of boxing. The only reason Alvarez drew better audiences was because of WHO he was fighting and the fact that GGG easily beats EVERYONE so there's little suspense.
A 50/50 split is fair and if anything the champ with the most belts and wins should get more. Oscar De LaHoya is full of himself.

97k? Lol. Yeah. That's huge.

[Mitchell Kane]

Sounds about right when you're comparing 97k buys to 900k buys

Canelo-Lemieux wouldn't do 900k buys.

[Mitchell Kane]

Seems 100% fair
900k ppvs eats 97k ppvs

Was Canelo pulling 900k against Angulo and Lara?

[aldo5408]

Canelo-Lemieux wouldn't do 900k buys.

It would do alot more 97k or 150k whatever

[Mitchell Kane]

It would do alot more 97k or 150k whatever

Yes. But how many more?

100k more?
200k more?
800k more?
