A 50-50 split with Ward would've been GGG's biggest purse

[BlakBread904]

Yes. But the choices are:

A) $3-4 million today and take a loss


B) $1M per fight/2-3X per year + Step aside fees + cashout of $5-6 million in 2017/2018.


That's all it boils down to. It's time to put this topic to rest.

its been time for a while, at least it won't be like the TKO6 (vitali vs. Lenox) that lasted for years and years.

Didn't you hear? Ward brings peanuts to the table. A Froch fight would've given them $10-15 mil.

lol

[brettWall]

Riight. Except that Ward wanted 3 tuneups first and wanted it at a very late date. Meanwhile, GGG's haters will keep making it look like Ward really wanted the fight. GTFOH.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, you just said that Ward getting $2M for 350k BET viewers and 3k in attendance is the same as Golovkin getting $2M for 150k PPV buys and 20k sold out MSG.

Think we're done here.

And there it is. K2 is *protecting* their investment until they can get the big cashout payday...

[Nay_Sayer]

i think he will get more than Groves but not by much so maybe he'll make 5-6 million. Froch's popularity was all time high and GGGs popularity was growing now keep in mind this is the Froch and GGG of back then, GGG is bigger now and will be bigger by November.

97k PPVs sold seriously suggests that nobody gives a sheet where Bumlovkin is concerned...

Except it wasn't "today". Ward wanted a deal for late 2016 after his three fights or whatever. Meanwhile, Golovkin was/still is after Canelo.

That's the thing so many of you don't understand. People keep saying Golovkin could have fought Ward, but literally there wasn't a time when Ward was willing to fight Golovkin (he turned him down in the past and for the extremely brief window that Ward did actually pursue a fight the deal Ward wanted was for a year away!).

[Pigeons]

Golovkin fanboys operate in what-if land. ...but what if this, but what if that?...

Blah blah blah. What if Golovkin is 36 and his best win is still David Lemieux? Fraudlovkin!
