Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Flat Fee For Golovkin To Face Canelo - No Money Split!

[mick1303]

You sound like an account paid to troll fans to try to get them emotionally invested enough to buy PPVs. Your absurdity makes no sense under any other circumstances. GGG is known as one of the most generous, no nonsense negotiators in the sport. When Curtis Stevens called him out, but then rejected the initial offer, Team GGG came back and made him an even better offer to get him to sign, even though Stevens was the "B-side." Everything you say is completely backwards and untrue so you must be a paid account. I bet Oscar hired some dudes to be like, "if we can piss off as many boxing fans as possible with absolute b*ll**** lies, they might get angry enough to buy the Canelo-Smith PPV hoping Canelo loses.'

I hope fans only buy good PPVs and support the good fights. That will show boxers that fans appreciate good fights, not ducking.

I'm starting to think that you are probably right. These yahoos are so blatantly biased, that they are probably paid off to spread this nonsense.

GGG is the B side that's why he is traveling to a foreign land where brook is the A star and all the fans in that fight will be cheering and rooting for brook. Khan is a bigger star in the uk then brook yet he had to come to canelo for their fight not the other way around like ggg has to. Canelo filling up a football stadium will have almost 3x the attendance of any ggg fight. There is a reason he don't fight in Vegas or these huge baseball and football stadiums in the US like canelo.

As for lowball that's what GGG potential opponents have cried about for years that that those broke phuks that promote ggg can't afford to pay more to get better fights. And he tells guys take the peanuts ggg offers or no fight. Now the role has changed and if ggg wants to fight canelo you take the money they offer because he is the bigger star. You ain't dictating offers.

Quoted for Truth..

Hopefully Team GGG dont price themselves out of the fight. But then again its "team fumble"

[j0zef]

Golovkin: "Don't think they want to fight next year. They'll lowball and use it as an excuse"
Gomez: "No way, we'll make a good offer!"
Oscar: "Yeah, good offer with no PPV share for the biggest fight in boxing".
Fishnets and ******* suppliers: "I have a good feeling about this.."

[The Big Dunn]

If GGG is only about cleaning out MW then as long as he gets the most he's ever made he should fight. May not be fair but bigger stars and better fighters then he had to go through same stuff like this to make the leap. They did it, why can't GGG?

[Shadoww702]

They should offer GGG "Life changing MONEY" Let rumors out there that's is $6-10 MILLION and GGG is ducking. Then let everyone know months later it was $1.5 lol.

Can't feel sorry for someone when their own BS comes back and bites them..

Golovkin is in the same position Canelo was in with Mayweather. Canelo accepted a $5 mil guarantee for that fight and a CW.

Canelo was a three belt champ when he fought Floyd? Canelo had headlined a PPV before he fought Floyd?

Those are rhetorical questions. This one, I'm actually asking: Canelo got NO PPV upside with the Floyd fight? I highly doubt that's accurate either. So yeah, except for all these things that are different, it's the same.

When Floyd fought Oscar he was the undisputed #1 P4P fighter in the world, already won titles in numerous weight classes and beaten big names in boxing, and sold far more PPVs then GGG and Oscar was at the end of his career no longer on ANYBODY'S top p4p lists and merely a part time fighter. And still Oscar was the A side because despite all that he was the bigger draw. Floyd wanted a catchweight and a bigger split but he was the B side and Oscar demanded the fight was at Oscar's weight Not Floyd's and not a catchweight, Oscar demanded most of the money. Oscar made Floyd an offer which he could either take or leave it. Floyd could of pulled a GGG and dragged the fight on for years hoping maybe to collect a few more nickles and get Oscar to drop weight. But that's called short money and no guarantee that Oscar wouldn't of been clipped off by somebody else. Instead Floyd gave in to all terms to make the fight NOW not later. Gave in so he could get the world wide exposure and the spoils of war if he won the fight. He won and from then on he was the A side in every fight for the rest of his career where he could make the demands making exponentially more money then the few peanuts he could of held out for if he passed on Oscar's demands.

Floyd is smarter and has more balls then GGG does. GGG has lost big fights because he refuses to budge on weight or money. And worse is GGG is pushing 40 he's not a young kid who can afford to waste years in his prime over "nickles" and "weight". Whoever is advising GGG is dumb as rocks. Should of never demanded the fight be at 160 which was never going to happen and now setting the door to wait even longer over money when he needs Canelo not the other way around. When he is ready to agree to the Canelo's demands the fight will happen.

Where are you getting your info that GGG only offered Saunders $1.5 mil? I haven't looked into this but knowing how dumb you guys are, you probably confused with the guarantee with the total or some **** like you guys usually do. It was probably a $1.5 mil upfront guarantee plus UK PPV plus a percentage of ticket sales that would have netted him $4 mil total, but you guys can't tell the difference.

Are you really trying to turn Golovkin headlining a PPV flop in to a positive?
