Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: We Offered Golovkin Eight Figures, They Didn't Respond

[Slowhand]

That's 7 figures.

8 figures is at least $10million.

Maybe it was 10 mil pesos, at 155..

at the end of the day at some point between canelo, lara, ward the reality seems to be if ggg really wants a big fight hes going to have to do something he doesnt want to do. otherwise hes gonna continue fighting in the weak ass 160 pound division and never make a big fight. say what u will but ward sent a 50-50 offer that would not of affected the lemiuex fight no different then kov signing to fight bernard while kov still had a fight lined up. keep in mind if ward didnt really want to fight ggg why does he go and sign a similar contract to face kovalev? but its canelo who is by far an away a bigger star then ggg and not just by a little but by a lot. GGG is one the biggest stars boxing has to offer but to pretend hes on canelos level is a joke not to mention majority of ggg's fan base canelo is already bringing to the table. sorry but this is not going to be a 50-50 split its just not going to happen

I'm a GGG guy but you're making sense bro.

I just think GGG isn't thinking HOF and beating great fighters but his main goals seem to be getting belts.

He fought Lemieux because he had that IBF scrap otherwise he wouldn't have fought him probably, he obviously want BJS and that WBO belt more than any other fight.

He doesn't seem as much interested and desperate to fight Nelo since Nelo dropped the belts (WBC and lineage)

and alvareds fans are believing this lie

Oscar is basically admitting it a 2 millions offer.
"That's still an eight figure doe"

That's low balling, pure and simple.

yeah because 2 million is 8 figures HAHAHA.

moron, go back to elementary.

[bambam182]

Oscar was saying last week no ppv upside for Ggg, and that he'll get a good offer in due time, when Canelo is ready for 160. And now they're claiming an 8 figure offer with upside, a month ago. How gullible can you get?

just admit that GGG is ducking.

I'm not going to get on anybody until the details are known.

However, Oscar and co are stating very publicly that they offered 8 figures to make the fight (so at least $10million) and got no response. That offer is more than fair from a financial standpoint.

Oscar is laying in with both hands now. Over to Golovkin to respond!

The oracle has finally spoken...go poppapomp

I like you T.MT ...u play hard ball but you always throw the ball straight....fair play

[Francis M.]

FFS I don't know why Canelo fans believe this crap. They always sound convincing after a fight that they are ready then do a complete 180 dropping the belt and fighting at 154.

I know people want to hate on GGG but Canelo and his team has shown they are full of it when it comes to this fight.

I still believe that both of these two are not gonna fight each other and their next opponent choices needs to be more appealing.

GGG needs to take on Jacobs at 160 and Canelo needs to pick Adrade or Charlo.

Well when you actually think of it you turn pro to win world titles and be the best in your division ....if there's another hall of farmer in your way to that then yeah you take that fight for sure......when triple ggg first turned pro he wasn't thinking about beating canelo....he was thinking of that belt ...food for thought
