Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Golovkin: Jerry Jones Will Make Huge Offer To Get Fight

[Tom Cruise]

How is Vegas out bidding jerry jones?

Dude is a billionaire

Stadium is selling seats.

MGM is selling seats, hotel rooms and a weekend throwing money away in their casino.

Its more profitable for them to host a fight. Especially one like May vs Pac. Think of the high rollers that must have come through for that one

No he's just selling out wherever he goes, 25k here, 20k there. No one else Canelo can realistically fight but GGG is doing that.

And K2/GGG have already won the Public Relations War. They know they are B-side, but they are not gonna have to take less than 70/30.

If they demand A-side money they'll start to lose the PR battle, but I doubt they will considering their first offer was 60/40.

You know that's as about as likely as Trump telling the truth and winning the presidency.

They've already said they are, but they know taking a flat fee would be ******. They will likely settle for 70/30, but nothing

70/30 in Canelo's favor isn't a bad offer at all. I'd imagine it will land somewhere between 10-15 mil and that. I'd imagine both sides will compromise within reason.

ya but no one is saying GGG doesnt have a big fan base or isnt a star its just hes not near as big a star as canelo in mexico and usa where it really counts. ya ggg can go fight a massive star in the uk and do well but lets be honest that was more on brook then ggg hes a huge star there. my only point is ggg is the obvious b side and when u really look at it for example 60-40 split just doesnt make sense for anyone except k2 there is no reason canelo should have to bow out of what hes worth just because fans give ggg excuses they dont give canelo.

I mean its not like pac mayweather where pac was the obvious B side but still worth a good 35-40% ggg is not in that strong of a position tho. ya hes got people blindly on his side like pac did in negotiations but that doesnt change that gbp is not just going to give away their worth just because loughler has the people on his side

agree, GGG to turn down a payday that is double or triple his highest payday is kind of absurd. even though he is the middle weight champ and real fight fans favorite, canelo is obviously the cash cow now not at the mayweather level but, it is what it is. take the money GGG and punish each other in the ring. btw im a fan of both fighters. i dont put too much weight in canelo dropping belt and moving down. at that time he was going to court and the wbc put a time frame on negotiations. feeling that pressure he gave the belt up, went to court and settled his affairs.

You NEVER beat the casino, man. You should know that.

flat fee my a$$, one of the biggest name in boxing was offered a flat fee? lmao, lets be realistic here 60/40-70/30 will be the most realistic offer

70/30 sounds more realistic

[WesternChamp]

Golovkin is going to want 40% of that huge offer. He thinks he's the one that put 51,000 butts in the seats at that stadium.

why does it matter tho?? canelo will still be the one getting the higher end of the deal. both fans from each side is making hella excuses and trying to justify every actions each team puts out.

You think Vegas getting canelo vs ggg?

[eco1]

I don't care who brings in the people as long as there is a fight and a good one.
