So Golovkin beat Saunders

[techliam]

Champ vs Interim is a 55/45 split, the purse bids were scheduled for next week. What part of that is wrong?

Champion vs interim is not 55/45

The rules explicitly state this:

'that an Interim champion shall never be ... or be entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a challenger'

Whats a challenger purse? The same Povetkin got against Wilder

30% of 90% of the total purse, +the extra 10% if he goes on to win

Rule 3.22

[i'm a fun haver]

He now has accomplished his strange obsession of having all the middleweight belts. Now what? Will he finally go up in weight and try to have some semblance of a small legacy or will it be too late? His legacy will probably be 'the boxer who had the easiest route to unification/ the guy who won most belts on technicalities.' Why is Golovkin obsessed with belts more than doing great things?

Laugh at this dumb f@gg0t, everybody

Go read it again, that's talking about Interim Championship fight

How do those Pbc announcers call Jacobs Mw champ and keep a straight face? Besides everyone knows who The Man was in the Wba rankings then

why are you talking to me about Jacobs paper title?? im not a Jacobs fan at all

If we're talking records, it should be where Golovkin was clearly the best middleweight in the world, which in my view was proven by beating Murray. Lineal titles can mean even less than ABC titles so its a bit silly to overrate them,

But using the Hopkins formula, we should start the 'record' from when Golovkin was the sole WBA champion, which was after Rosado... so he has 11 'title defences' in the same vein as Hopkins

I can agree with your post the title defense thing has gotten more and more watered down

No, here's the full paragraph for you:

In its sole discretion, the WBC shall subsequently determine the timing and terms of any bout between a champion and Interim Champion to determine a sole champion in the division, provided, however, that an Interim Champion shall never be deemed a mandatory challenger, or entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a challenger

Now i've corrected you, lets drop the 55/45 nonsense

Mexican television said Canelo turned down the 70-30 split Golovkin's team proposed. Shut up with the 55/45 split propaganda K2 knew that wasn't reasonable so they offered a reasonable split and CanelHO ducked.

Nothing strange there, you just don't know **** about boxing. They asked Porter on a Pbc show a few months back, what's your goal? All the belts, of course.

If he breaks the MW defense record, all by Ko, that's already a nice legacy

Does who you KO mean anything??????

I've asked this question countless times, you will not get an answer.

Laugh at this dumb f@gg0t, everybody

It really is such a strange obsession. He chooses being handed belts on technicalities over daring to be great and fighting good fighters. You can call me a f@gg0t but here is billy joe Saunders summing up you and the rest of the gaynaughty g-g-gurgle group

Usually, the purse-bid split between a WBC champion and mandatory challenger is 70-30 in favor of the titleholder. However, when a WBC champ faces a WBC interim titleholder the split is 55-45.

The bid amount is split between the fighters, generally a 55-45 split in the case of a WBC title fight between a titleholder and interim titlist.

Dough Fischer and Fat Dan both saying the split is 55/45 for Champion vs Interim.
