Let ggg keep the money from europe and asia, he is such a big star over there, canelo can keep the money from america where he is the biggest star...

Wow you must a REAL fight fan. Don't care if the biggest fight in boxing gets made or not......nice

Understandable since you're a Canelo fan.........It would suck to see your boy get broken down.

Fight takes place at 160 for a 65/35 split. If Canelo insist on a catchweight, go no lower than 157 and demand a 60/40 split. In favor of Canelo of course.

That to me is as fair as fair can be. There has to be a monetary gain for every lb that GGG goes down up to 157.

I have a feeling GGG POS cheap ass Loeffler is going to want a purse bid.

Ggg ain't worth no 55/45 split and he should be the blame if this fight doesn't happen. Anything North of 70/30 is fair.

If Canelo sticks to 155 lbs he's to blame.

Let's see if K2/GGG accept the terms of GBP to make the fight or if they want the belt via strip. I think if GGG refuses to come down and gets the WBC belt because Canelo gets stripped, there's some fights Canelo can take in the meantime, other MW's will probably accept a catchweight of 157 or so for the money Canelo brings. Maybe we get Canelo vs Saunders at a cw.

I hope Canelo-GGG come to an agreement at 157, maybe make a compromise. Canelo budges 2lbs, Golovkin budges 3lbs, sounds fair.

I believe that GGG and his team will take less money and insist on at least 158...they will still make millions more than with any other fight....158 will be easier for GGG than it is for Canelo....GGG has fought a couple of fights weighing 158......then there will be a rematch clause for more millions...that will keep Oscar happy....

If Oscar is talking hat 90-10 BS just call for an immediate purse bid once the 15 day period is over. Time for K2 to stop playing games with GBP and get this fight made. I don't care how big a star Canelo is a 90-10 split isn't a serious offer. The purse bid split is a better offer than that.

Ummm......Why?

Exactly....especially considering the guy in your avatar, Duran came from lightweight and even fought middleweights and never once demanded a catchweight.

[SplitSecond]

Fight should happen at 160. Alvarez is more than big enough. if he's a ***** and to help ease the Floydboys worries. 158 is all I could handle, I don't see what's fair about Golovkin having to strip more weight than Alvarez will move up with 157, considering Alvarez' size, it's just a little advantage in hopes that Golovkin shows up weak, it's not accommodating a size disadvantage.

[Deevel916]

I really hope the fight is at 155

Ummm......Why?

[Teetotaler]

I agree. I also like both fighters. I am not a huge fan but respect their skills. I think this fight needs to be made next. After the circus of Mayweather-Pacquaio, It would be better to go ahead and have the fight in September 17th. There should be a rematch clause as well so they could fight on Cinco de Mayo weekend as well in 2017. It is only good for boxing. I think a catchweight of 157 is fair and i think Canelo should be 65 to 35 on purse split. The fight could be made at Cowboy Stadium or in Vegas or LA. Canelo needs to do what is right and he will earn respect by fighting ggg , just like GGG will earn it fighting Canelo. This is an important time for boxing to do this now and do it right.

If theres a rematch each guy should have a fight or two before. I dont think an immediate rematch would be that exciting but obviously still good
