Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Sends Counter-Offer Terms For Canelo PPV

[icha]

It'll take something special to get CamelToe in the ring

i like your take on this situation, most other ggg fans are more worried about ggg's wallet than about watching the damned fight... canelo took similar money and even went down in weight to fight floyd on a fight much bigger than this one..
the red kid has big ego and wont hesitate to show ggg the middle finger like he did to cotto and floyd before...

Enough, Lil G needs to accept Golden Boy terms if not then he can go kick rocks. Canelo will make millions with or without Lil G. Many greats before such as BHop, Mayweater, Pacman took less money in order to become the A side by defeating De La Hoya. If Lil G wants to take Canelo's shine then accept his terms and stop BS'ing.

I been saying this idiot has the worse camp around him totally phuking up his career and wasting his prime away. You 35 you can't sell any ppvs. HBO won't give you a ppv unless you fight canelo because of that. Manny was doing big ppv numbers on his own close to what Floyd was doing. You not doing ppvs close to canelo. You fight on regular HBO. This ain't a Floyd Manny situation. You the clear B side and the moment this phuking idiot figures that out the fight will get made. You don't dictate terms you either take it or waste more years fighting bums on regular HBO. Take a career payday if you win you can dictate terms going forward. Sounds like GGG don't think he can win and is just trying to cash himself out.

I'm a fan of GGG. But those terms are a bit ridiculous.. Maybe 70/30 or 75/25 For Alvarez.

They want no parts of Canelo. Ginger fills football stadiums like it's nothing. He's one half of the highest grossing ppv in the sports history

Why would they send a counter offer, just accept it n go 10mill, i dont think hes ever gona make that kind of money elsewhere in boxing

There gona keep fighting other either way but where are they gona make that much of money, same risk every fight u win or lose

It still applies, but you can't let people take advantage of your respect for boxing by accepting crazy offers, otherwise where does it end? "Well you said you weren't a businessman, so either fight for free or we walk!" Where does it end? There are limits to everything, people have to be reasonable. I mean who offers flat terms for a fight over a year out? That's clearly not a serious offer.

Luckily, Team GGG has responded with a serious offer to Team Canelo, and now it's up to Team Canelo to prove they want the fight by accepting a real offer, or they can duck the fight again just like they ducked after the Cotto fight by fighting Khan instead, just like they ducked after the Khan fight by dropping the belt, even though both times they said they would fight GGG but then reneged on their word.

It's gotten to a point where Canelo's team has lost all credibility. Canelo as well. Because they've made promises but then reneged on those promises. They've said things and then done the opposite immediately afterwards. So we can no longer rely on their word. After they already broke their promises multiple times, it actually shows the class of Tom Loeffler and his forgiving nature in this regard that he's even willing to continue operating with verbal agreements with Canelo's team, after they've already broken verbal commitments before. Remember when Oscar said Tom better have his phone on because they would make GGG-Canelo next? But then instead they delayed negotiations for a month hoping GGG would move on, but then when Team GGG smartly waited them out and called their bluff, they dropped the belt?

GGG stills respects box, and will make fair deals as always, but in the end if your opponent is scared to fight you, there's not much you can do. It will be up to Canelo now to tell Oscar he wants this fight, and to make a fair deal. Team GGG as usual has done everything possible to make the fight. They stepped aside to let Cotto-Canelo happen first when they requested that. They let Canelo-Khan happen when Team Canelo requested more time. They have bent over backwards trying to appease Team Canelo but when someone is scared to fight you, there's nothing you can do to force them into the ring with you. We saw as much with Floyd Mayweather. But hopefully Jacobs steps up and we get GGG-Jacobs in December. Kovalev-Ward in November, GGG-Jacobs in December, and hopefully they can sneak in Lomachenko-Walters or something like that... that's a couple high quality fights by HBO which is about all you can expect with their modest budget.

Let's hope that's what happens. Kovalev-Ward, GGG-Jacobs, a good Lomachenko fight, and hopefully some good undercard fights. Maybe Estrada-Cuadras on the undercard of Kovalev-Ward, since that PPV could use Mexicans on the undercard if they want to sell PPVs lol. Quality wise, that would be the best end to an HBO year in recent memory. Quantity wise, they need a bigger budget so they can maintain the quality, but add more fights in general. But for the budget they have, they are much better off going with quality over quantity, and if we get GGG-Jacobs and one or two more good fights, I will be happy.

Hell, this is what boxing fans have been waiting years to see! Good opponents willing to fight Kovalev and GGG so we can see how good they are against the top level guys. GGG already fought one truly top athlete with speed, power, china, etc, in David Lemieux, but Kovalev-Ward and GGG-Jacobs in back-to-back months is really what fans have been wanting to see. Get it done HBO! Quality first! Quantity is only important to the extent it maintains the highest quality matchups! No tuneups! No showcases!

or, he doesnt feel its necessary to bend over and ********** himself the instant someone flashes something shiny at him.

There has NEVER been a situation where GGG's team priced him out of a fight, so Im not sure why you clowns are so opposed to his team actually trying to negotiate.
