Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Responds To Claims By Canelo, Golden Boy

[j0zef]

Well if the offer is the flat rate oscar said he would only do, for the biggest PPV there is to be made in the sport right now, thats not legitimate offer.

If they are offering 0 ppv percentage, thats a joke, even if they offered him 10million (which I really doubt they offered) and 0 ppv upside, thats a joke, because Canelo has no other dance partner that will bring him a PPV that will most likely do 1m + buys.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people can't use their head and figure out this is Oscar's damage control. There's a reason why they gave up a belt and have been playing the marinating game for a year. If GBP actually WANTED to make this fight with decent terms (6m+ flat fee, 75/25 PPV split), that **** would have been made 6 months ago.

This fantasy offer from Canelo/GBP is having it's intended consequences. Wow, 8 figures. Wow, a lot of money. People are now trying to blame GGG for "avoiding" Canelo while Canelo/GBP sits back and smirk and wipe that nervous sweat off their foreheads.....phew we got a way with one there.

It's a Guadalajara negotiation strategy.
It starts with you holding the title belt.
Then you call out your opponent in the ring after a big fight.
Then you give the #1 guy your belt rather than fight.
Then on the night you should be fighting that guy, but are fighting a virtual unknowni instead, you tell everyone #1 won't accept your offer, implying that he's ducking you.
Presto, You get to look tough, the haters eat it up and the other guy looks bad. LOL

[No-mas-tias]

Blind wannabe Mexicans trying to say GGG is ducking when GBP probably made a crappy offer so that GGG would decline.

Its funny how you so call boxing fans think you know the business side of boxing! You are the same people who said Manny should take the $40 mil Floyd offered because its the most he had ever made! Why would GGG take a few million because its more than any purse he has collected when there could be $50 - $100 million generated? An offer doesn't mean anything. 2x or 3x more than GGG biggest purse is 6-10 million! That could possibly leave 40-75 million for Canelo & Golden Boy. That's BS & true boxing fans know this.

$40m to Pacquiao and Floyd's event (Floyd taking the financial risk) would've needed to generate $160m on PPV for Floyd to get his own $40m.

The fact that the fight, years after the offer was made, ended up generating $450m shocked everyone (when no one near the fight was even willing to project $300m on the PPV).

Think for a moment; PPV does $200m, $100m nets out, leaving $80m to the fighters to split after the promoter's share.

Golovkin is foregoing an offer of $10m in a year's time, to take a slew of fights that likely don't get him that $10m combined (with the likely chance that Alvarez, after the terrible talks, says **** Golovkin).

[Scipio2009]

Stop with the 2 or 3 times more **** and give us the direct number that was offered! We all know this fight could generate up to $75-$100 mil & maybe more so a $10 million offer not fair to GGG.

Even if the fight did $100m on PPV (a ridiculous number, as even Cotto-Alvarez only ended up doing around $70m), the fighter's shares would still end up being $10m to Golovkin, $30m to Alvarez, for a 75/25 split (under the rosiest of revenue projections).

Fight matches the Cotto number, the event nets out $35m, with ~$30m available to the fighters (basically a 67/33 split on the fight).

gtfoh with that "not fair to lilG" nonsense

[Scipio2009]

Canelo never fights GGG EVER no point to it as a sure KO LOSS
Why worry about GGG and being a middleweight champ when Canelo has the boxing world and the mex faN BASE and a crowd pleasing appeal all in his mex corner? Screw GGG the commie and Canelo should defend at 154lbs and clean out the division. Money is King of Boxing and Canelo can make as much fighting the other 154lbers. GGG isn't worth the risk so Canelo should tell the commie SOB to take a hike. Viva Mexico' what a HOOt

Golovkin and his camp have refused to respond to an offer for $10m, after literally only taking junk fights for his entire ten-year career. gtfoh

[eco1]

If 12 months is akin to 13 years for Golovkin fans, you may as well go away now.

why not just make the fight instead of dumping belts and talking nonsense all of the time?

Oscar's team Coke?

[Citizen Koba]

i hate playing the who should call who games but if gbp made him an offer and even stated publically that it was just an initial offer open for discussions wouldnt loughler be the one calling gbp to discuss a counter offer? i dont know man **** just seems to not be adding up for team ggg. reminds me of when ward sent an offer and loughler denied it at first then tried use lemiuex fight as an excuse even tho the contract was designed not to affect any off ggg matchups.

well see what happens but between gbp oscar and loughler i think they are all full of crap and the fighters are stuck in the middle and getting the backlash

The contract offered one interim fight each - which was the Lemieux fight for Golovkin. Golovkin was also mandated to fight the Canelo / Cotto winner if he beat Lemieux. Agreeing to fight Ward would have pretty much killed all hope of Golovkin getting Canelo / Cotto. So yeah. It wasn't designed to make life easy for Golovkin ... not saying it was designed to be turned down, after all Ward himself had a schedule and an agenda, he had to promise HBO a major opponent if he wanted a contract and with 168 dominated by Haymon fighters and with no real 'names' anyway it had to be either Kovalev or Golovkin. Hence the window for Ward - Golovkin was always vanishingly small and, IMO at least, neither side is really to blame.

[Fetta]

Hahaha! Feeling bad for GGG fans and their need to spin now.

Told you all soon you would be flip flopping on your send offer, more than ever made, take deal to get fight stance

[Graz]

The key sentence here is if "Canelo fight comes up that would trump any fight in boxing." Okay, lets fight in December 2016? What's the hold up? Why September 2017? Because a lot of things can change in a year. Who knows what will happen a year from now. This is nothing but a PR stunt from Canelo and GBP to save face. Lets get it on at 160 lb before the year end. Loeffler and K2 will make this fight in a heart beat. This time Canelo doesn't have anywhere to duck. No more belts to vacate.

That would be the logical next move but you can bet Canelo's camp won't go for it.
