Oscar De La Hoya "negotiations are complicated because gg thinks hes a superstar"

[Eastcoast]

how much did willie Monroe take??

About 3x more than he ever made in other fight in his career.

The sooner Golovkin's camp realizes they're going to have to settle for far less financially the quicker this fight gets made.

Golovkin has some leverage as he has "mandatory" status.

However, if Canelo won't go above 155 and Golovkin won't go below 160, then is it likely going to purse bids and what happens then?

I think Coca dela Fishnets has a point. That said, this can all be resolved very easily. HBO should just force Canelo to fight GGG in September.

Or the sooner Canela realizes that he's going to have to give up that strap if he keeps insisting on a 155 CW, the sooner both fighters can move on with their careers. GGG can continue pursing MW unification while Canela can continue trying to create his own weight class of 155.

I'm sure Golden Boy has no problem giving up the belt if Golivkin continues to overprice himself, which is what Oscar is implying. Golovkin himself stated the weight issue is nonexistent and simply a bs tactit to get people like you riled up and create controversy, his words not mine.

GGG has no other option his opposition is a joke and becoming an unified champ outside the ring is a ****ing joke. Yeah it's taking forever, Canelo's been ducking Golivkin for a whole 3 months now. Just remember the Cotto fight took well over a year to finalize only after Alvarez conceded to Cotto.

so how much was it compared to what ggg did for that fight?? not even 10%, see the post I was replying to...
and lets not forget GGGs team said Monroe was a bigger name than lara...

No way this goes to purse bid. If they can't agree on a deal then the fight falls through and WBC crowns Golovkin the champ.

this is all that's required.

Totally agree with DLH. GGG needs Canelo on his resume, not the other way round. He's the one with the more impressive resume. If GGG lets this opportunity slip away from him he has no one except himself to blame and he's the one that has to explain himself in the future. Canelo is just doing what any other A side boxer would do. The fact that GGG's camp have refused to even entertain the notion of sitting down and negotiating with Canelo speaks volumes of their ambitions for their fighter. Milk him dry first. It's all about the money nowadays, if this was the 70s this fight would have happened already.

Really? Uhmm, exactly WHAT opportunity? Is there an offer on the table that only YOU know about? Should GGG accept 154.1 pound catchweight and a 99-1 money split in your feeble mind?

Bottom line is GGG is the mando. Canelo can either make a reasonable deal, or unbuckle the belt and hand it over to GGG......

Negotiations are complicated because Golovkin can end Alvarez.

GB is talking about taking 90% of the purse for the Golovkin fight when they quickly agreed to pay Khan $8mill. Funny, because you could hear crickets chirping when Khan fought Alexander compared to the over 20,000 paying fans for Golovkin/Lemieux over even the 12,500 paying fans for Golovkin/Monroe.

Exactly.

If this was, BJS for example, the fight would've been made already. Because GBP would know that he's an opponent Canelo will most likely beat. Golovkin, on the other hand, can **** up their precious little plan called 'Canelo Alvarez - a Mexican warrior and boxing biggest star' for good.

Getting out pointed by Floyd Mayweather is one thing. Getting knocked out is another.

Team Golovkin is of course a part of the problem here, but the main issue here is Gennady Golovkin himself.

Oscar knows it, so does Canelo and his fans with their 'he's the a side doe!' mantra.

This is kind of the same point people have been making relative to GGG/ ward and GGG/froch and Chavez jr. GGG was looking to make froch/chavez at 168 with no issues or BS, but Ward was a different story because he is likely to defeat GGG.
