Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: In Mayweather Rematch, it's 70-30 in Canelo's Favor!

With all their BS over the GGG fight I didn't think Oscar's statements could get any more ******ed. I was wrong.

... and there goes the viability of a Mayweather-Alvarez II, lol.

Floyd's walkout bout on his career, even as a "flop" did over 500k PPV buys at $65 a pop ($36m in PPV revenue; $18m into the pot) and $10m at the gate.

Cotto-Alvarez, in Canelo's biggest career fight, did 900k PPV buys at $60 a pop ($54m in PPV revenue; $26m into the pot) and a $15m site fee from MGM Resorts.

$30m on a 30:1 Mayweather fight versus $40m on a 2:1 Alvarez fight, with Alvarez being the fighter looking for revenge.

Anywhere from 65/35 Floyd to 60/40 Floyd, Alvarez should be more than happy with.

Cause he retired. Hasn't been active, and just cause he beat him doesn't mean hes suppose to get more money. Oscar took most of the cake in the rematch with Mosley even though Mosley had beat him. But anyway of coarse Floyd won't accept he thinks he can retire and come back anytime and still b the money fighter.

You're going to conveniently forget that Mosley had been through back to back losses vs Forrest, and was in a desperate situation? Completely different scenarios

Maybe knowing nelo is flatfooted alone will be enough this time. The cw was just insurance and to be double careful.
GGG having a weak resume isn't enough for nelo as well, he wants to double it up with cw also

Why would it be 70-30 in Canelos favor? Mayweather beat both Canelo and Canelo's promoter (De La Hoya) and out grossed the both in them in terms of career earnings and revenue generated. I think Oscar is afraid that Canelo will get schooled again so he is trying to price Canelo out of that fight. And if the rematch were to happen and Canelo was to again get embarrassed at least he'll have a huge paycheck to show for it.

All in All Oscar is becoming just as delusional as Amir Kahn if he thinks Floyd will ever take a pay cut.

Yea, it's as dumb as the 90/10 comment for Golovkin/Canelo.

Pay it no mind at all, that is Oscar beating his promoter drum.

Mayweather/Canelo would be 60/40, Canelo/Golovkin would be 60/40.

Yep, and the same for Canelo/Golovkin.

Duh! Floyd made 2m ppv when he fought Cotto, Canelo couldn't even tank 1m when he faced Cotto.

Everyone, fans, haters, promoters, fighters, journalists, analysts, trainers, etc etc, can't even keep Mayweather out of their lips.

Even now, Oscar and Amir Khan are talking about Mayweather in order top promote the Canelo-Khan fight, even mma fighters use Floyd to promote their fights.

Lol, of course he can unretire and be the A-side, cash cow.

[Scipio2009]

Yep, and the same for Canelo/Golovkin.

Golovkin did less than 150k PPV buys (whether the number got down to 97k, the final number was likely closer to 100k than it was to 150k) at $50 a pop (less than $7m in PPV revenue; maybe $3m in money to the pot) and $2m at the gate.

On the raw numbers alone, the split is likely 80/20 Canelo; you add that Golovkin is thirsting for the fight and 90/10 Alvarez isn't all that out of the question.

[AndyShitHot]

I'm not even a floyd fan but if Canelo did 900k against Cotto, then floyd would have done about double if he would have chosen Cotto as his final opponent, especially considering he could have retired by winning a MW belt.

[HAY-B]

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is interested in making rematch between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather Jr. - if the Mexican superstar gets the bulk of the money.

ODLH would have been better off saying he's not interested in making a fmj rematch because there is no way in hell fmj is going to be on the low end of any money split.
