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

[OnePunch]

Lots of ignorant boxing fans on this site don't have a clue about percentage splits, flat fees, percentage of the gate, or anything else about how deals are made in professional boxing. They keep repeating bs like A side and B side because those concepts are easier to understand than percentages, likely because they missed math class on the day percentages were discussed. The fight will get made and Canelo will be compensated properly as will GGG. Idiots.

They're idiots. They think that Jacobs or any other fighter who couldnt sell out an Elks Lodge should get $3, $4, or even $5 million (from where who the he!! knows), yet GGG is supposed to bend over and accept the 1st offer from Golden Boy, for the biggest fight in the sport.

GGG should be thankful that none of these clowns are representing him in the negotiations

There's no guarantee Canelo will rematch him if GGG dominates him. Anyway no sane fighter or promoter is going to give up tens of millions of dollars just to appease haters on the internet. GGG will offer fair terms as always and if Canelo stops ducking him, Canelo will agree to fair terms and they will fight each other. This is like when Flom0s said Pacquiao should just take the flat $40 mil. No, just because one fighter is ducking doesn't put the responsibility on the other fighter to just give in to ridiculous demands to appease a ducking fighter.

As boxing fans we need to reorient the way we think a little bit and get back to reality. Start blaming the ducking fighters, not the ones being ducked. If Canelo makes GGG a lowball offer, we can't blame GGG for not taking the lowball offer, we need to blame Canelo for making lowball offers designed to keep the fight from happening.

In short, when one fighter clearly wants the fight, and one fighter clearly does everything possible to avoid the fight, we need to blame the fighter who is doing everything possible to avoid the fight. Until he fights GGG, Team Canelo deserves all the blame, as has already been established when he said he would fight GGG after Cotto, but fought Khan instead, then said he would fight GGG after Khan, but dropped the belt instead. That's already two clear ducks so that's where the blame lies.

GGG to his credit is now chasing after someone potentially more dangerous than Canelo, in Danny Jacobs. Canelo ducks him so he just moves on to an even bigger threat, always willing to face the best guys who will face him. That's to be commended.

A great post.

Very objective.

The BBB side are clearly idiots.

They have themselves believing they're on Canelo's level as far as how much tickets get sold.

[robertzimmerman]

Hate to say it, but GGG should just take whatever, knock this ginger out and demand whatever in a rematch.

It's easy for you to say that.

[Beercules]

It's easy for you to say that.

Why do you say that?

[robertzimmerman]

Making demands and counteroffers like they'tre hot **** lol

Well of course they're going to make a counter offer you fool.

Nobody would accept a flat fee in their position.

[Scipio2009]

If K2 is asking for 40% of the pot, they're ****ing delusional and clearly looking to cash out

[bigdunny1]

60-40 a serious offer???? LMAO

GGG went to the Winky Wright school of boxing business. This is exactly why every big fight he is ever mentioned in never gets made. He's 35 he needs canelo not the other way around. Let him keep fighting bums like wade on regular HBO for peanuts.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Looks like everyone is a promoter

Here is the bottom line, the media and casual fans don't give a damn about Canelo being A-side, as long as GGG and k2 don't try to take too much, 60/40 isn't, but 70/30 is more likely, then if Canelo doesn't fight he can't escape the GGG question.

De la Hoya has said he will fight GGG in September. No one outside a few haters on here will give a **** why Canelo is ducking.

Everyone was fooled by Flyd, so Canelo saying he learned from him is only making it worse.

[Robbie Barrett]

Golovkin is clearly th B-side Loeffler you tard. Wanting a split similar to the 40% Pacquiao got.

Pricing themselves out. Golovkin is now ducking Canelo.
