Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach Smiles: Canelo Has 15 Days To Accept or Vacate

Those quotes explain a lot. Team Canelo are smart by saying 155 because they know GGG will reject and it goes to a purse bid.... much better split for the champ.

I remember Oscar saying 'GGG thinks he's a big star' so maybe he's expecting closer to 50-50, with a purse bid it should be 70/30 for Canelo but at 160.

I'm sure Ggg would take 70/30 at 160 no problem, but he'd get a better deal if it went purse bid, cause he's interim champ. It's something like 60/40, or even 55/45

There's no set in stone rule for that, it's up to the WBC.

Canelos mind "Im thinking about bigger and more dangerous opponents right now GGG, The Great Amir King Khan that was ducked by both Mayweather and Pacquiao"... hahahahahaa

BOXING NEEDS HELP SERIOUSLY.

I really don't understand any of the moves GGG and his team make. They talk outta both sides of their asses so much its hard to keep up. When it comes to fighting a guy like Ward, it doesndoesn't make financial sense. Yet Canelo is the biggest money fight available to him, and they're playing hardball about the weight. Is it about money, or is about legacy? Becaue if its about legacy, beating Ward does far more than beating Canelo. So it seems like that's the fight he would be chasing. Hell, Lara at least equals Canelo in terms of legacy, yet tgey won't entertain fighting him. What is GGG gonna do if and when Canelo vacates? Is he gonna sit around fighting the Wades of the world hoping Saunders will fight him for another meaningless belt? Not sure what these guys are doing. But whatever it is, its wasting a lotta years that this cat likely doesn't have.

real shame what canelo's career turned into, i used to like him

[tiliheels]

Oh look, its the fake fan who worries how much the fighters make, but he doesn't order PPV, doesn't attend live fights, doesn't even have cable.

But hes worried about how much they make.

i'll buy fights that i like...and the doesnt even have a cable jab is way too much..stop it please..

but yes i understand boxing is a business and believe it or not ggg is interested in growing...if not he's just stuck in a boring 160 division...

I honestly believe that GGG can whoop canelo at 155! I mean just agree to the divas weight and have him sign a 10lbs re-hydration clause for fight night that way canelos has no excuse to duck anymore! call me crazy but I just don't see canelo beating GGG here or on mars!!! JUST FIGHT!!!

[RussB23]

Hillarious, cant wait to see what Canelo does. Will he run or will he fight? Or will he want 155? lmao

Interesting. A poster recently posted a translated interview with Golovkin, where he said all of this CW talk is BS, because there are rules. How can a champ dictate a CW for his mandatory challenger in any particular weight class? Guess we'll see who's really in charge: Canelo, or the WBC?

... In this particular case: GGG WBC MW interim champ and mandatory for Canelo it isn't possible... Unless Canelo goes 40-60 and GGG approves 157...
