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

[icha]

You all saying they'll give GGG 30% of they money are delusional. I believe they are going to offer him 20% tops.

Isnt that what ggg gave his mando (wade)??
But who cares, ggg said he is after the titles not the money, and canelo has the 2 most important titles in the division, so im sure ggg will act like an idol not a business man...

Oscar offers them 70/30 split at 155. Take it or leave it. No reason to give up anything as GGG has no leverage in negotiations.
They can have their shiny green trinket and fight bums on HBO until he retires if he doesn't like it. Oh but now he can fight bums and pay the WBC their sanctioning fee to do it!!

Oscar: I offered 10% of the PPV buys, fight at 154 lbs, no belt, but he said no, we tried.

Oh really, fk I didn't know that.....

See, I told you guys that Golovkin would duck Canelo.

Oscar: Hey Tom.
Tom: Hey Oscar.
Oscar: So...what did you eat for breakfast?
Tom: Pancakes.....
Oscar: Wow,that sounds good.
Tom: Uh yeah.....are we going to talk canelo-golovkin?
Oscar: Whoops,forgot I had a 2 o'clock leg waxing,gotta run!
Tom: ....

If Tom Loeffler REALLY wanted that fight, he would meet Hoya at the leg waxing salon and get it signed. NO excuses!

I told you guys they don't want that fight.

Why do you care so much about Canelo having an advantage? Don't you wanna see the fight? Some people rather Canelo drop the belt and be "A" side than seethe fight. So spiteful.

I pray to God ggg doesn't accept a catch-weight. Did De La Hoya make Hopkins fight him at a catch-weight ? No. Did Tito Trinidad make Hopkins fight him at a catch-weight ? No. Did Lenard make Hagler fight him at a catch-weight ? No. Canelo can fight ggg for that title and all the other ones in a year or 2 when he feels ready. I rest on your face.

You took a L there ^^

You rest on your ass.

Hopkins actually was great.

[aboutfkntime]

Actually De la Hoya promoted by Bob Arum at the time requested a catchweight of 158 to face Hopkins then undisputed middleweight champion. I watched an interview today with Hopkins saying he complained at first though why would a champion come down for a challenger? The answer was because of the name of the challenger de la Hoya was a big name just as Canelo is a big name. You know what Hopkins did? He accepted the deal at 158 and came to the weigh in at 157 to prove a point all his words. He said GGG should follow his route and take the catchweight look it up

Yep ^^

Yep ^^

de la Hoya rehydrated to 180? If no, then not the same thing. GGG and Canelo aren't coming from two different divisions

That is a current casual-fan perception, but it is ******ly incorrect.....

FACT: Canelo has never fought A middleweight

FACT: Canelo has never fought AT middleweight

You are just making excuses.

Actually he has. 155-160 is middleweight.
