Make no mistake about it - this event, especially with all this build up, can easily generate a million+ PPV buys. Golovkin's not some random no name, or a 500k/fight PBC fighter. He brings plenty of star power and is a proven seller. Golovkin's team was crazy when they said they want 50/50. That's unrealistic. But he should absolutely get a split.
Personally, I think this verbal sparring is just both sides blowing smoke. If they want to fight, they'll agree on terms. Something like 20m guarantee for Canelo, 5m for Golovkin, with 70/30 PPV split over ~400k buys.
