[LADIV]

HOW in the hell are you going to lowball a dude who sold out a stadium in foreign land (AGAIN) where canelo is stillllllll packing in the stadium??? Oscar is high.

im pretty sure most of the people there are going because of brook..dont kid yourself homie

Why didn't GGG just be fair and give Saunders 50/50? Why didn't GGG just be fair and give up weight to fight ward and other guys at 168? Don't play ****** you and ggg fans been defending him when he says I'm A side so you come to my weight or catchweight. Defending him when he says I'm A side just take the money I offer or no fight. But now that he is the B side and there is no debate about he refuses to do what he has told others he thinks he is A side over.

But bjs is not a big name, GGG is so why don't nelo give GGG 50 50?
Nelo is keeping GGG waiting and letting g him get older soi why not compensate GGG with fair deal?

[Robbie Barrett]

You're either misinformed or biased. When has GGG told guys at 168 they have to wait for him to be ready to move up? He already tried to fight Froch at 168, IN HIS FIRST FIGHT at the new weight class (take notes Ward), so you're full of ****.

164, Maybe 2017. Ring a bell?

[THE MACK]

Its comical reading the posters on here who are saying canelo is the a side GGG should concede the weight.

NO JUST ***ING STOP IT!! THERE R WEIGHT CLASSES FOR A REASON IF CANELO CANNOT FIGHT AT 160 HE SHOULD STAY AT 154 NOT MAKE HIS OWN WEIGHT CLASS OF 155 UP AND DEMAND PEOPLE FIGHT AT THIS C/W OF 155.

WHY DID CANELO TARGET A SHOT COTTO JUST FOR A TITLE - TO SAY HES A 2 WEIGHT WORLD CHAMP!? LOL HE HAS MADE A MOCKERY OF THE RULES AND ****ED GGG ABOUT FOR ALMOST A YEAR!!!!!!!!

THE CANELO/OSCAR FANBOYS ARE ON A SCALE OF DELUSION NOT EXPERIENCED BY OTHER BOXING FANS.

Did you really want to see a fight for ALL the MW belts (except the WBO), be held at some damned CW?! What kind of boxing fan are you? Now, for the154 lb champ Canelo, as opposed to the160 lb champ Canelo, I think 157 is reasonable

i agree with this, but ggg doesnt, ggg had all the right as being the mandatory to ask for 160, there is no denying on that, but even after that when canelo was already signed for a 154 title and ggg was signed for a fight vs a welter, ggg was asked on national tv "why not try to arrange a weight for this fight?", ggg said, canelo wants 155 and i want 160, it has to be 160...

[boliodogs]

It sounds like Oscar is using this A side stuff as a way to offer GGG an unfair low amount which will be turned down. Then Oscar will say that he tried to make the fight but GGG didn't want the fight. Offering GGG slightly more money than he ever made before is BS. The fight is a huge money fight because it's GGG vs. Canelo not because it's a Canelo fight. Canelo can't make anywhere near the money he makes for this fight with any other opponent. Oscar hates this fight and he will make sure it doesn't happen and try to blame the other side. Oscar would rather make the same money with two or three fights Canelo is sure to win than make really big money for one fight that Canelo would lose.

Are you really trying to compare getting in the ring with a retired Froch to getting in the ring with #2 P4P, Unified Light Middleweight Champion Kovalev??

[Boxing Logic]

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.

So many biased fanboys on this site it's crazy. If Brook is the A-side, name me one time he sold out a stadium before fighting GGG? It's only GGG who can make that happen for him.

Same with Canelo-GGG. Oscar himself has called that the biggest fight in boxing. Are you saying that's just because of Canelo? Because he is currently fighting Liam Smith and that is not considered the biggest fight in boxing. Only with GGG is it the biggest fight in boxing. Therefore, GGG has massive value. Canelo-Smith is maybe 200k pay per view buys. Canelo-GGG is 1 mil at least. So there you have it, Canelo by himself is 200k, while GGG adds 800k more. Likewise, GGG can't get 1 mil without Canelo.

They are both valuable. The split should be basically the same as Mayweather-Pacquiao. 60-40 is very fair. If Canelo's PPV vs Smith underperforms, and he proves he can't do any better than GGG vs Lemieux, that will show both are in similar boats and it should be 50-50. I think people overestimate Canelo's drawing power. The only PPVs he did good were Floyd and Cotto. That just proves boxing fans pay for good fights, between two good guys, not for single fighters. I bet you Kovalev-Ward does twice as much as Canelo-Smith even though Canelo is a bigger star than either of them. That's because boxing fans pay for premier matchups, not for one fighter. And even though GGG-Lemieux was a good hardcore matchup, Lemieux had no name recognition in the US. So comparing Canelo-Cotto to GGG-Lemieux is a joke.

I think that now that Canelo is fighting someone as unknown as Lemieux, we're going to get a more accurate picture of things and I bet we find out that Canelo is not much more of a PPV attraction than GGG is.

Kell Brook.

[Carmen81]

I actually think Canelo should get paid more since he has the higher drawing power but it doesn't really matter because Canelo is scared ****less and would never take the fight. Canelo no longer fights for greatness he is now a businessman.
