Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Canelo is Not Smart, He's Scared, Golden Boy is Scared!

[Robbie Barrett]

So what is your point? what should be the split?

As i said 75/25 would be fair.

Canelo who was A-side in the negotiations for the fight will be getting $3.5 million guaranteed purse plus share of PPV revenue and his domestic Azteca tv deal while Amir Khan is guaranteed $2 million but he is all set to clear around $13 million from this fight with share of HBO ppv and his BoxNation tv deal back in native UK.

.....

So you think GGG is worth more than Khan in a fight that won't sell aswell?

#GGGLemieux purses: GGG $2M, Lemieux $1.5M, Gonzalez $250k, Viloria $100k


So he expects more when he is B-side than when he is A-side? Who is paying GGG this money exactly? Is Canelo supposed to take less than his 3.5 to suit GGG?

You are telling me that Canelo-Golovkin won't sell more than Canelo-Khan?

You're too dumb. Wanna try with a poll?

Who is paying GGG that money? a fight against Canelo can sell like 1 million PPVs. At 75 dollars that is 75 million dollars.

I don't understand GGG, the guy don't want to fight you, move on. Follow Ward's path and go find that great challenge. Win and Canelo will come to you.

What great challenge? What Ward did is like if GGG had been fighting at 154, and went up to 160 to fight Danny Jacobs. Because Virgil Hunter already said Ward at 168 was a "scaled down light heavyweight." Which means 175 is Ward's natural weight class. Which is exactly why Ward struggles to even make 175. He was scaling down to 168 to fight smaller guys, unlike GGG who is a natural middleweight, not a "scaled down super middleweight."

Even so, GGG would fight anyone at 168, but who is there that is a bigger fight than the guys at 160? Froch? They almost had a deal then Froch retired, like everyone else, scared of GGG. Chavez Jr. found an excuse too, just like everyone else. Degale? Have you heard Degale chasing a GGG fight? He' not a big name anyway. Ramirez? That is the biggest fight for GGG at 168 currently unless Chavez jr. builds his reputation back up, and they've said they would do it, except Top Rank doesn't want to put Ramirez in there with GGG until next year.

That's how it works with GGG. Haven't you noticed? Everyone is dying to fight him, just uhh, not right now...

Y'all haters all need political correctness lessons lmao. Ya'll "blaming the victim" constantly. No matter how many fighters duck GGG, in his weight class AND the one above, y'all still find a way to blame him. The hate is real.

[Larry the boss]

He will never get a 50/50 split......never

[BrometheusBob.]

We all know he will settle for 70/30 type money.

[Nay_Sayer]

15 mil to fight a nobody.
3g isnt a nobody.

lets keep this realistic.

97k PPVs sold suggests otherwise...

[bernardo20oct]

Triple flop fans trying to find ways to make GGG look legit, lol, he only fought bums, could have fiought Ward, Lara, Chavez Jr, instead he´s fighting Brook, lmao, Canelo has fought 3 hall of famers plus Trout and Lara, period. Enough said. A side vs C side... 2.5 Million PPVs vs 97k PPV´s lmao

[_Maxi]

^This right here...

Don't worry, we all think GGG will accept a lower purse than Canelo. Not 90/10 as oscar wanted.

To who? Canelo's fans bought the Khan fight..... GGG's fans bought the Lemieux fight...>They don;t add up to 1 million.

I think if Canelo really wanted the fight, it would have happened by now. He is not scared but knows that this type of fight he needs wait for GGG to not be prime. Mayweather did this to a lot of fighters. You also got to remember that Mayweather did beat some great prime fighters in the lower weight which he does not get praised for.

Canelo is thinking of the money. At the moment Canelo carries this card with GGG.
