"In Mexico we don't **** around"

Sign an extension then run away after fighting a chinny 147 fighter who started at 135..

[SleepyBear]

he did kinda beat golovkin psychologically tho.

now ggg has to go down to 155 if he ever wants to be the lineal champ, and canelo now has no pressure to fight at 160. smart man if you ask me.

Canelo said he'll fight GGG at 160, straight from his mouth, so everyone needs to STFU about this 155 catchweight!!

This is real life not fantasy land. Like Broner said, "My kids can't eat belt soup!". I've seen an IBF strap for sale on pawn stars. What I'm getting at is if you had a belt but were broke its $ over a belt. It's like that even if you arnt broke. Look at Cotto. He would have had to pay $800,000 to keep his WBC title. In real life, not fantasy world but real life, you're telling me you'd pay $800,000 just so an organization will call you it's "official" champion?

$800k in sanctioning fees may seem a lot to you, but when you are getting paid MILLIONS of dollars GUARANTEED, PLUS a percentage of PPV, $800k is not a lot relatively speaking.

I'm gonna put this in smaller numbers so you can better understand this. You're about to do a job, you're gonna get paid $10,000, but you need to pay $800 for permits to the city(or whatever). You're still getting paid $9,200, guaranteed, plus a certain amount of overtime. You're gonna turn down a good paying job because you have to pay some fees??

These guys are making exponentially more, they're NOT going broke, unless they don't manage their money right, and if they are, that's a whole different issue. So your argument is invalid.

so fucking funny how many people do not know what lineal means.

For you haters that means

Canelo is the man who beat the little man who beat the old and injured man....

Fix'd

[doubletake]

I have no idea how Canelo has fans left



Golovkin was like "Give me your lunch money you Ginger ****" and Canelo was like ok

Except it was more like "Give me your lunch money and your belt, ginger."

Canelo was like "Lol this old belt? Take it. And if you want the lunch money, meet me at 155 and take it from me. If you're lucky, I'll even give you 30% of the money."

The question now is: Does GGG keep pursuing the fight with Canelo now that he has the WBC belt, or does he just target BJS instead? Business or legacy?

[Larry the boss]

So why keep bringing it up as if it has merit? It's all you have left to try and slight golovkin and it's pathetic. Because a lineal champ who refuses to fight the best guys is the epitome of a paper champ.

Slight Golovkin??? wtf?? all i am stating is Canelo is still Lineal/Ring champ man, damn i aint slighting anyone

[Larry the boss]

so fucking funny how many people do not know what lineal means.

For you haters that means

Canelo is the man who beat the man who beat the man....

This is true, thats why i hope he fight Golovkin so the lineage can continue

Canelo already said 160, yet his blind fans keep insisting 155. Then again, this is Canelo we're talking about.

The problem with your analogy is that you're not considering the fact that certain fighters will make money with or without a belt.

Does a belt help lesser known guys build their brand? Absolutely, there's no debating that.

However, there are certain fighters that simply don't need them to make money, but they're nice to have.

Recently, Anthony Joshua, the challenger, brought the IBF champion, Charles Martin, over to the UK and offered him his biggest payday ever. Charles Martin made less than AJ, despite holding the belt at the time, but the belt let Martin get in that position.

Again, belts are nice for guys with less popularity, but for highly marketable fighters, they're just trophies, and not a means for generating money.

Yep, he clearly did. Meanwhile, Golovkin already said "154-168. I'm ready."

Funny you don't mention that though.

[ShoulderRoll]

Canelo is still negotiating to make the fight. He's not fucking around.

He simply dropped the belt so that the WBC deadline doesn't force him to go to purse bids. If that happened he'd have to agree to a 55-45 split.

And let's be real, there's no way Golovkin deserves 45% of the money.

[SleepyBear]

Yep, he clearly did. Meanwhile, Golovkin already said "154-168. I'm ready."

Funny you don't mention that though.

154 was for Mayweather, not to fight another FULL middleweight at 154.

Guess Canelo will keep fighting Welterweights. Who knows, maybe he'll go against even smaller fighters.

Sept 17, be on the look out for Canelo vs Chocolatito!
