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

[Manic Shot]

ODLH's playing poker cards, All in with "nothin" on it!

[WesternChamp]

so a career payday, plus a chance to become a PPV atraction at your desired weight(160), and ggg will rather fight another can instead of a career changing fight...
if ggg thinks that he is going to get the fight at his weight plus a big slice of the pie then this fight will never happen, lesser fighters get the canelo payday cuz they are willing to fight at canelos terms, not cuz they have better resumes or are better boxers...

so its been agreed upon that it will take place at 160???

[icha]

How is 50-50 weight and 50-50 purse ANYTHING but fair? Like Loeffler said, Gennady would be willing to fight Ward on a 50-50 basis...

ggg isnt willing to budge a single pound to fight canelo(160 or no fight) , why will canelo budge on money? the fight will happen at 160 with a cereer payday for ggg...

Exactly. GGG and his camp have been difficult to deal with and numerous fights have not taken place on his watch because of tons of demands GGG has placed on others. Canelo has literally fought everyone fans have asked him to fight and at 26 has made more fights we want to see then GGG has. He has sacrificed weight and money to make big fights now while GGG has one excuse or another why he hasn't fought anyone the fans have asked him to fight. At some point it stops being about EVERYONE else is and it's about GGG camp being inept or refusing to budge to make big fights. He is 35 not a single relevant fight and wasting his prime away fighting bums and mismatches.

didnt you read the article???
oscar said they will send ggg the offer once canelo moves to 160...
ggg already said "160 or no fight"...

[rrayvez]

Oscar knows that one of the things that killed Floyd vs pac was when Floyd offered pac a flat fee with no ppv. He used the same excuse that it's the most money pac ever made. Oscar is just trying to kill this fight while still saving face for Canelo. The truth is, although ggg isn't a ppv star, Canelo won't make more $ fighting anyone else either. Lastly Canelo isn't some huge ppv star either. He's had 2 successful ppvs but he was the b side for both and the ppvs where he's headlined haven't sold much. They'll see when his ppv vs Smith doesn't Crack 300k.

GGG should have taken the first offer...the ship has sailed.

you seem to be the most ****** poster on the forum.

The only one hurting himself with this is Canelo.

I was a big Canelo fan, but i happen to think from time to time and emotions won't rule my thinking.

For real, i am fed up loosing my time reading your agenda each day.

on te ignore list.

I am even rooting for Brook when i know it is close to imposible he will win, but i am not going to read the same s h i t day in and day out.

Obviously DLH and Golden Boy are 100% correct because Golovkin has absolutely no leverage and no legitimate PPV history. Canelo has no reason to concede anything to Golovkin because Canelo doesn't need Golovkin to in order to keep his Lineal/Ring Middleweight titles and Canelo has numerous middleweight options named Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank Jr, Lemieux,etc., as well as Jr Middleweights champions and contenders.

Let's see if Team Golovkin is willing to sacrifice anything in order to get the fight they claim they want so badly.

He said he would go to 168 and called out fighters at 168 then when ward says I'll fight you he said I am the A side but if we fight it won't be at 168 you have to agree to lose weight and fight at catchweight. But he cried when canelo said I am not a 160lb fighter yet of you want to fight me now come down to a catchweight. Phuk boy can't have it both ways and make so called A side demands of other fighters then cry when true A side fighters do the same to him.

[trainutz]

Straight up told it like it was! Good job. I too like both guys , would love to see them in competitive fights where they fought 2 to 3 times against each other. I really feel though like De La Hoya doesn't believe Canelo can win , so get as much money as possible. How about the two guys fight for whatever , if Canelo is a side the first fight then so be it. Whoever wins will be A side next time. I guess.

I agree, DLH has done nothing but talk HUGE about making the best fights and pleasing the fans, but he is following the same ol' lowest risk pattern. And Canelo talking HUGE as well. I guess fighting Khan was cool cause everyone wanted him KO'd and shut the **** up (temporarily). But everyone knew he was getting KO'd. EVERYONE. So in no way was that the best fight to be made.

It's obvious Canelo is the A side, but GGG deserves a nice flat fee also. His resume is lacking but he definitely not a nobody like say........Liam Smith

I like Canelo but he and DLH are kinda little *****es.
