bigdunny1 brings up a good point. I'll add to my 2 ducks with a 3rd duck. Canelo is demanding GGG to come down to 155 lbs LMAO. Funny thing is Canelo holds a middleweight title and a lineal 160 lbs middleweight champion. Like Froch wants GGG to go up to 172lbs. Ward: I'll fight GGG a year later but sign the contract so it seems that I want to fight....but in a year okay. Man, GGG puts so much fear in these guys that they're coming up with all kinds of demands.

Golovkin is a middleweight; Alvarez is a junior middleweight. I doubt that that was in the offer, but let's play your game.

With no belt on the line (Alvarez handing over the WBC belt over not wanting to fight at 160 made his interest in middleweight pretty obvious), and Golovkin and his camp already saying that they'd fight 154-168, why not get Golovkin to put his money where his mouth is?

For $10m (triple what he allegedly got for the Brook fight, and basically double what his previous high purse was), why can't K2 even return a call?

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

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.

I seriously doubt they offered $10m, and Oscar is on record saying they want a flat rate. So they are offering GGG 0 upside on a ppv that could do over 1m+ buys.

no, they vacated in order to have full control of the fight, that includes purse and weight... vacating a belt could end up earning canelo and oscar more than just several millions in reward...

I think it could have hurt their earning power as it has made Canelo look like a ***** & even some Mexican fans, the most loyal group of fans in boxing, turn against him.

And I have a hard time believing K2/GGG is going to turn down a fair offer regardless of the alphabet group %'s bs that were in play if they couldn't agree on the fight. I see this as GBP trying to hold his position than K2 trying to cash out.

A Golovkin/Alvarez ppv is a completely different model from a Golovkin/Jacobs ppv.

Jacob's refuses to give an actual number other than it has to be more than $1.5mill, but it's probably $3mill, b/c that's what Quillin just said. There's not even enough money in that fight to pay Jacobs/Golovkin 50/50 at that point, and no way should Jacobs be getting parity with Golovkin, GTFO. Jacobs has jack **** drawing power. His numbers for the Quillin & Mora rematch were a joke. The guys simply isn't worth the money he was already offered. Yeah, Jacobs isn't worth $1.5mill, no way.

BJS is going to get the money he asked for. Loeffler said they worked out a deal to get him it before, and Saunders recently said he was skeptical that the fight would be big enough in the UK, but after the Brook fight he says he's convinced it will be.

Golden Boy put out an offer for $10m.

What's Golovkin's number?

[Scipio2009]

10 Million.

December 2029.
102 pounds.

See? Still 10 million!

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

What's Golovkin's number?

We're about to find out, but that fight's not next. Jacobs/Golovkin is next.
