Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Hopes Jacobs Does Not Price Himself Out

[Can'tHoldMeBack]

Offer - counter offer. It's called negotiating terms. It usually happens in private, but Oscar decided to do it through the media

They didn't respond in a month and was giving narrative in media that Canelo was still refusing fight or offering 2mil

You should be accusing Canelo of pricing himself out of fighting GGG, not the other way round. Who else is he going to get 800k plus PPV numbers for fighting, apart from GGG?

When you're getting 51,000 people to come see you fight Liam ****ing Smith, I'm sure you can live VERY comfortably fighting Jacobs, Saunders, Andrade, Jermall Charlo, Brook, Spence Jr., etc. If you notice, the guys that are good at 154/147will go up to fight Canelo, because the money is worth the risk! However, they never talk about going up to fight GGG! Besides, GGG is "not business man" so $10 million flat fee should not be a problem!

That do not change fact asking for 40% when still on regular HBO is a bit to high 25-30% would be realistic and if Canelo walked away from that offer I'll be first to call out ginger ****e on it, flat fee is also unrealistic for ggg to take[/QUOTE. Do you realize that ginger ****e would have gotten a 75-25 split when he was the champ and GGG was the mandatory ?!

You realize he would not have would of been 50/50 by terms of WBC since ggg was interim champ don't comment if you don't know what you talking about

It likely will go to purse bids because the GG team while crying that no one will fight them, tend to make take it or leave it "I don't need you" demands. They are in position to do so and rightfully so to a degree but not while claiming the lack of signature wins is due to others not willing to fight them.

Jacobs, Eubanks jr, Saunders are the best middleweights not named Golovkin at this time. Those fights should happen! Canelo, Lara, Jermall Charlo represent the best jr middleweights who could challenge with potential to win.
Dealer and Ramirez remain the best slightly bigger fighters that would test his resume.
Of course Ward, Kolev and Stevenson would be a bit much to ask.

Regardless, Jacobs seems next. I give him a chance but expect Golovkin to catch him and put him away. Jacobs represents the 3 or 4 very best fighters Golovkin has faced thus far.
Purse bids by November the fight will be set to start 2017 in Jan or Feb.

Hope they didn't offer a flat fee lol

Clueless much? If it's not ppv it's always a flat fee. There's no ppv upside duh

I believe Shawn Porter is available for December. Team GGG might want to look into that

Gbp is lying about the month. Just 2 weeks ago Oscar was saying flat fee strictly, we'll make a nice flat offer in due time

Seriously, with dirt cheap tickets, during Mexican independence weekend, filling 50,000 seats at that stadium was not a great achievement. If he'd filled all 80,000 seats, with the average ticket price about 5x higher, like Froch and Groves did at Wembley ... that would have been real A side business.

[Mr. Luthor]

there is nothing "ridiculous" about their counter offer. They are not saying "pay us $50 million", they are saying "pay us 40% of what the fight actually earns in real life", be it $50 bucks or $50 million.

Nothing unreasonable about that........

Unreasonable because Triple G isn't worth 40% to Canelo. Golovkin is asking for a percentage that he simply has not earned. Golovkin is not Canelo's mandatory anymore so he does not have 40% leverage.
