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

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Yes. I am saying it is unfair. It makes no difference what Canelo or GGG made in past fights. This fight is the biggest money fight in boxing today and GGG is 50% of why it's the biggest fight in boxing. Can you understand that? GGG isn't 5% or 10% or the the B side of why this is such a big fight.GGG is fully 50% of why it is such a rich fight. GGG's highest pay day to date is the Brook fight which isn't remotely as big a fight as the GGG vs Canelo fight. Do you think it's fair the GGG only gets a few dollars more for fighting Canelo than he did for fighting Brook? I sure as hell don't think that's fair. That's about as fair as Canelo only getting paid a few dollars more for fighting GGG than he will make for his fight with Smith next week. A 60 40 split in Canelo's favor sounds fair to me. That way Canelo is the A side but not to the point of absurdity. If they can't come to terms and this fight never happens then Canelo not only losses his biggest paid day he loses respect. GGG has already proven he has no fear of Canelo when he forced Canelo to vacate the title rather than fight him for purse bid money.GGG won't lose respect for turning down a lowball offer but Canelo will never get back the respect he lost until he fights GGG.

It's not happening. K2 isn't gonna take anything less than a 70/30 split. They know they're are the B+ side.

They predicted this, that Golden Boy would attempt to shortchanged them in order to sabotage the fight.

And boom, de la Hoya instantly tries.

Media is already calling him a liar, check Yahoo. K2 only need to sit back and make the best fight they can.

Canelo will come along after selling crappier in each fight he does that is not GGG.

Flat fee is smart move by DLH......

I would give GGG between $5-7 mil to fight Canelo if I was DLH. If GGG wants to be a star he'll have to go with the flow. Sometimes you have to take less money to put yourself in position to make more money. A good example of that was Floyd fighting DLH. So we'll see what GGG camp decides.

Is GGG not making about 5 for the brook fight

The UK is a different market. He makes nothing there when not fighting a UK fighter.

True but Eubank jr, Saunders and DeGale would earn him similar money

Good thing he has at least three other UK fighters to fight.

A side baby!
Triple Flop thought he was calling the shots lol, pathetic...

Haha this sounds so familiar, didn't the guy Oscar say killed boxing (Floyd) try to offer Pacquiao a flat fee? And that was like a billion times bigger. Basically Oscar is saying he doesn't want this fight ever to happen.

Bu bu bu bu but its Golovkins fault doe!

Squeezing them in while fighting ****ty mandatory fights inbetween. He's going to retire with nothing on his resume.

Yawn...Just say you're not interested in fighting Golovkin and move on. This **** is getting old already.
