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

[-Kev-]

Exactly.

I'm not sure many people here understand how these things work.

Mayweather and Pacquaio were both universally considered the P4P beat fighters in the world when they fought Oscar. Was Oscar even considered Top 20? Doubtful. Especially for the Pacquaio fight. Yet Oscar took the huge chunk of the money, made all the demands, had everything his way. Why? Because he was the A side at the time.

It's really that simple.

Canelo is the A side here and it's really not close at all. Golovkin is going to have to bend to Canelo's demands if he wants the fight. That's how it works.

Golovkin attempting to do a PPV with Lemiuex was a big mistake, he had good ratings on HBO before that which gave him some ammo (not much but some) but then once his PPV did 150k then that destroyed all chances of Canelo not being in the driving seat.

Very true. Although DLH was ranked #3 at 154 and was WBC champ, he was not seen as one of the top 10 best fighters in the sport, but still got all of his demands met by a small Floyd Mayweather Jr who just wanted the spotlight and opportunity to make a lot of money and become a big draw and win a new title. Same with Pac, he wanted the spotlight, big money, big win, DLH wanted a big fight too which there was none at the time and he refused to fight Margarito (Sounds very similar to GGG refusing to fight Lara) so he settled for Pac at 147. Great move by Pac, bad move by DLH, but both sacrificed something to make the fight happen. If I remember correctly the only downfall of the fight was the split, Pac pulled out and the fight seemed off because he wanted more money. The weight was always agreed upon by DLH.

Why didn't Floyd just vacate? Because as long as GGG keeps agreeing to step asides and granting voluntary fights he doesn't have to. Again the belt means nothing ggg wants to fight canelo. Fact GGG said he would fight Floyd and Manny at 154 but can't fight canelo at 155? And canelo is trying to bully smaller fighters yet GGG tried to fight guys smaller who started their careers at featherweight rather then move up and fight ward.

Actually GGG says in multiple interviews he wants the middleweight belt. He wants to unify and canelo is being a little diva asking for 155 for no reason when he ways over 170 on fight night. He wants to hold the belt but doesnt want to defend against real middleweight. Lol i like canelo as a fighter too but im not going to defend his BS like you.

Its really easy for canelo, either go fight at your caneloweight division and drop the belt, or fight some real middleweights at 160 and ppl will stop talking **** . Really that easy.

LOOK phagget, not even an D level fighter takes 90-10 you son of a whore drag. COWARD, you and Canelo both. Scared cowards. GENNADY is the MANDATORY for Canelos 160 title you ******* addict low life.

And yet He's still a better fighter than GGG will ever dream of being. GGG just has to accept that he's not the A-side, and accept the fight. So why doesn't he?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Yea... Khan was easy.... Khan doesn't think he's a superstar...
I believe Oscar

difference is bro, khan willing to bow down a lil to get a shot. GGG aint, he wants everyone to bow down to him, doesnt work that way sorry.

Lame thread. Only one thing is going to happen:

Negotiations falter because Golovkin won't drop down to 155. WBC lets Canelo keep the belt. Golovkin moves on or accepts a drain penalty in order to win the WBC middleweight belt.

Golovkin has to be handicapped. He's too powerful at 160. WBC knows where the money is. The money is Saul Alvarez. The money talks and boo sht walks.

Canelo knows GGG will hurt him bad. Oscar knows it. WBC lets them keep the belt. And the fight won't happen.

Ggg will wait like he always does.

Wonder how good Oscar stuff is

SMH, because WBC mandatory title defenses are held at the division limit........which is 160 pounds.

sniff, sniff probably pretty weak. ODLH had been doing blow for so long, his dealers likely cut his 8 balls with with baby laxatives and he doesn't even care as long as he is snorting something white up his nose
