Comments Thread For: Golden Boy: Canelo Will Sign The Minute Golovkin Agrees To Offer

[Shape up]

lets look at the history from the start, GGG ends up as cottos mandatory, cotto refuses to fight him, pays GGG step aside fee to fight canelo on the promise that the winner fights GGG, canelo wins and asks WBC and GGG if he can have 1 fight at 160 to acclimatise to the weight class, GGG and WBC agree and who does goldenboy and canelo pick to acclimatise to the weight class, khan, a Chiny welter, really!, it's about this time Oscar titles canelo as boxing said PPV star after floyd, canelo beats khan and while still in the ring tells the world he will fight GGG there and then, Oscar says that K2 better answer their phone the next day, less than 2 weeks later canelo vacates the title and hands it to GGG, since then went back to 154, while dropping vada testing, why? Did he need extra help to cut weight, who knows, all I know is that all the promises from goldenboy and canelo have been lies

Worth posting. Thought it was hilarious.

8 figures!!! Sign the ****ing contract, or at a minimum make a counter offer! K2 SUCKS!!!

[kafkod]

Offer was 8 figures plus ppv upside. So ggg and his team are looking at $15-$20 million

"This is literally eight-figures, potential upside."

That doesn't mean 8 figures plus PPV upside. It means GGG would need the upside to get the 8 figures. And "potential" = "possibly"

[kafkod]

am I getting this right, they want negotiate terms now, for a fight in Sept 2017?

They want to tie him down now before a potential fight with Jacobs and BJS.

if true, who in their right mind would agree to that.

Sending GGG an offer to sign right now agreeing terms for a fight a year down the line ... I wonder where GBP got a crazy idea like that from?

... Yep: there is a contradiction between "literally" and "potential"... and there's also a "coma"...

LOL, gold.

Let's assume the offer is for 10 mil plus 5% of PPV's. Let's also assume it does 2 million buys (at 70 bucks more or less) 5% of those buys is 7 mil. So GGG would take home about 17 mil. Granted, he's the B side, BUT he can reasonably get 75-35 (Maybe even 60-40) of a let's say... 80 mil pot... on the low end (35%) he can walk way with 24 mil. I want the fight to happen like everyone else, but if he can make an extra 7 mil for the fight why not make it. This coming from a Canelo fan.

lol 2 million buys are u absolutely out of ur ****ing mind? this fight would be lucky to crack a million good grief people are naive

The guarantee is eight figures, meaning no less than 10 million. The upside would probably depend on how the fight does. Meaning GGG would only see a percentage if it does about 1 million buys as an example. Either way its more than GGG will make in the next 12 months not taking the fight.
