and kell is huge in the UK. who else other then ginger can give him more?

****** GGG ducking fan boy.

Brook is not huge in the UK dummy. Before he stepped in for Eubank, his promoter was offering him a career high 1.3m for the Vargas unification. He got 3x+ for Ggg, cause Ggg is a global boxing star

This isn't helping your point
500k + on HBO non ppv is horrible.

Thurman and Porter did 3 mil on free tv.

Imagine the views Canelo would get on regular HBO.

GGG brooks did 1.4 unique viewers

Canelo-Smith gate alone made more than the entire Golovkin-Lemieux fight.


I don't know why Lil G fans are arguing over UK PPV, Brook was the A-side and it has no significance in the Canelo negotiations.

Free TV? Canelo vs Kirkland did 2.2 million in the U.S. and 19 million in Mexico

Replay and YouTube views don't count

They did 843k live on regular HBO

Unique viewers take into account new viewers that watched it a night. I'm not trying to get into a ****** trolling contest those are the numbers

[Larry the boss]

Canelo did 300k vs a no name, Golovkin did 97k. 75-25 split is fair.

If we are going to take the 300k number which they said it didnt even do you have to go with the 150k for GGG

lol come on man

How is that wrong?

[Scipio2009]

theyre pricing themselves out of a fight that isnt even happening for a year?

GTFOH with that mess. There is PLENTY of time for Loeffler and Oscar to email numbers back and forth until they make a deal

Kovalev-Ward was agreed to, in essence, nearly a year before the fight actually happened.

When the Floyd-Pacquiao talks finally kicked into gear, after nearly 5 years of honey****ing, how long did the final negotiations actually take? Heck, how long did the Lewis-Tyson talks take.

For a fight promoter, it's odd that you think that fights get done quickly.

There's plenty time till the proposed date, but the closer things get to an actual date, the more contentious the terms end up being (particularly with the risk of bad performances/bad business).

Alvarez's next fight, according to someone in his camp who's talking, is being eyed for May 2017, with the fight after that being a hopeful Alvarez-Golovkin fight September 2017; Gennady Golovkin and K2 would need to navigate at least 3 events between now and then. Golovkin has the likely Jacobs fight come December, another fight for Spring 2017, and a last fight Summer 2017.

If Golovkin ends up showing that the audience isn't there to pay up for his fights (whether that be on PPV or with increased ticket prices), why would Golden Boy keep their $10m package offer on the table?
