Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin: De La Hoya Calls Loeffler, Fight Negotiations Begin

I think this is whats gonna happen.

Very improbable, but it's a funny scenario...

I think that GBP will agree to have the fight at 160 and then want a 70/30 split.

They'll maneuver to make the weight not seem like an issue and then throw out financial non-starters.

My hope is that GGG and his team would be willing to let Canelo have the lion's share of the money. Just get the fight done, try to win the fight emphatically, and look to the future.

Seems doubtful though.

It's a huge fight, with great anticipation. Get it done, Get It Done, GET IT DONE!!!

As promised, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya made a call to K2 Promotions managing director, Tom Loeffler, to discuss a possible showdown between WBC middleweight titlist Saul Alvarez and unified belt-holder Gennady Golovkin for later this year.

Oscar knows he is the A side and he is going to get the lions share of the money....and so it should be...that is business.....I expect something like and offer of 70/30 at 157 pounds.....Loeffler will counter with 75/25 at 160.....Oscar will take it with a rematch clause.....those two fights will make millions....and that is what this whole business side of it is about.....GGG can make 158 without an issue....he has weighed in at 158 a a few times.....Canelo is actually the bigger man and will probably want something like 157 as he looked very drained trying to make 155 for Khan....

GGG's team will gladly take a 70/30 split......that will make them millions more than they have ever made so far.....GGG's team are confident that GGG will win and the rematch will make them even more money.....I am sure that GGG will take any weight from 158 to 160 as GGG has weighed 158 for a couple of his fights....he will have not much of a problem at 158...Canelo looked pretty drained at 155 against Khan....like a skeleton with skin stretched over it.....it is Canelo who would probably find it harder to make 158 as he is the naturally bigger and heavier man....Canelo fought Lara at 171 pounds two years ago and he has grown even bigger since then.....GGG weighed 171 on fight night against Ward two weeks ago......

I wish this was true )

Otherwise good points.

EPIC!!!

I'll believe it when the bell sounds for round one.

Wrong. Hopkins initially suggested 156 lbs to lure DLH into the bout. Oscar rejected and suggested 158 lbs, because he felt 156 lbs is just too close to superwelter and would be unfair. Hopkins went on record with this story.

Oscar is a legend.

DLH has always had balls, he fought the best of his era and didnt give 2 f***s.

I'm going to be watching Gennady beat the ginger all over the ring and his fans cry like:
