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

[Nay_Sayer]

Oscar says **** like this, then has the nerve to talk about Mayweather? 90-10 split to fight another champion in the same weight class and at 155? C'mon Son! GTFOH!

Bumlovkin is not a champion. He is a titlist. Big difference...

[Nay_Sayer]

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

Coming from you, I consider that a compliment seeing someone of your ilk wrote the book on the topic..

Sounds bad, but if it's a $30-$40 million purse, that's still $3-$4mill for GGG. Personally I wish K2 would've just stripped Alvarez, collected the belt and move on without Alvarez and wait for him to come to them. Eventually he's going to need to move up to 160, additionally Golovkin is his biggest fight. K2/Golovkin should not beg for this fight, move on if Canelo is too scared.

A bit generous?

Oscar when he fought Chavez he got screwed in the negotiations. got a small percent of the money and had to agree to go up to Chavez's weight (no catchweight) and had to agree to first appear on the undercard of a Chavez fight. Oscar at this time was MUCH bigger star then GGG and had already headlined his own PPV's and was a huge draw in boxing. Oscar was a Olympic Gold Winner and 2 division world champ and had just CLEANED out the entire 135 division and was on EVERYONE's top 10 P4P lists. But Chavez was the bigger star so Oscar had to give in to all his demands or not fight so he did.

11 years later the roles were reversed and Floyd had to agree to all Oscar's demands. Had to move up an entire weight class and fight at the weight Oscar wanted. Had to agree to 30% of the total purse and 70% going to Oscar despite Floyd being favored and the number 1 P4P fighter in the world and a much bigger draw then GGG is right now. Floyd had already won titles in 4 weight classes and CLEANED out at least 2 of them. Most guys who fought Floyd and Oscar when they were the cash cows got no more then 10% and that includes Canelo when he fought Floyd. And both those guys had to EARN their spot by taking less against more popular superstars. GGG doesn't have HALF the resume as either Oscar or Floyd and doesn't draw fans like either guys did before they got the mega fight but idiots think he should get paid 40% to fight Canelo or not budge off his weight? Just stop and come back to reality.

Quoted for truth...

Oscar sounds like a guy desperately searching for a reason to not have his guy fight GGG. Gotta build it up...Needs to be at 155...My guy is getting 90/10 cut.

Aren't these essentially the same excuses given by Team Triple Duck for a potential Andre Ward fight?

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

900k buys thanks to Cotto, not just Canelo c'mon man, Canelo does what 400k normally? F*** this fight anyway Canelo don't want it.

Next request "He has to sign with GBP if he wants to fight Canelo!"

GGG not getting this fight anytime soon, if he does he is going to have to take a awful deal

[robbyheartbaby]

Match ups attract the buys, COTTO & Canelo drew 900k buys, MANNY & Floyd drew over 3 million buys, Canelo on his own does Manny numbers, Oscar making excuses, just drop the belt and keep Canelo at the 155 division lol.

Wrong, he is champion & titlelist, show some respect.

coWARD wanted no part of GolovKING, Ward is quacking at 175 at the moment anyway, won't even sign to face Barrera.
