Comments Thread For: Arum Rips: Golden Boy's Flat Fee Offer To Golovkin is Bull****!

[GGG Gloveking]

Didn't somebody predict that Canelo's team would lowball GGG? It is as the prophecy has prophesied. It's become a laugh riot to see Canelo apologists try to defend the BS. The funniest one is they keep saying that GGG's resume isn't good enough to get the Canelo fight. F#ckin laugh riot.

I knew I was forgetting one. "He ain't fought nobody doe". It really is funny. The ducking, dodging, and dropping of belts has been going on for almost a year now, and they talk like NEXT September is right around the corner. They act like Canelo is doing somebody a big favor by fighting in the weight class he's been at for 3 years. They act like GGG is supposed to just bend over and accept whatever offer Canelo gives just because he's the 'A side' (I wonder how many of them subscribed to that idea when it was GGG making an offer to fight Ward in 2015). The lengths some of these guys go to just to bad-mouth GGG is quite funny to me

arum speaks the truth.

its also a career high payday for canelo with a fair 60-40 split. no one ever frames it like this of course. thats always how big fights between 2 popular fighters have been done. only since the clown floyd came along and tried to rob pac has this flat fee nonsense come around. canelo is learning from his daddy how to avoid fights.

The fact that this fight will be a career high payday for canelo speaks volumes on what canelo will do to get the fight done given that he has fought both mayweather and cotto. Now golovkin has the chance to get the fight done and he is making some business decisions for a guy who said "For me, it’s about who’s the best? Who’s No. 1 in the division? That’s what’s No. 1 to me. Second is money.” - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/golovkin-....kRYJP4uy.dpuf

Lmao, that is actually a coherent argument. Arum must have took viagra before the interview. Regardless, true or not, it's no surprise he pops up with low opinions of the competition in the lead up to a Pac fight, even finding a spot to throw in a Mayweather vs. Pac negotiation reference to charge up the base, lmao.

What a weird thing to say. Ok, let's go over a few things that Canelo has done since he acquired the WBC Middleweight belt, to which GGG was the mandatory for:

~claim he's not a real MW (despite fighting at 155 for 3 years...he drained that extra 5 lbs for no reason)
~claim he's the best boxer in world
~petitioned for a voluntary defense, then chose a WW who's really a LW
~called GGG in the ring to prove that "Mexicans don't f#ck around," then proceeded to f#ck around at the negotiation table
~told K2 to wait while they go to court
~vacated to avoid the WBC deadline & the fight altogether
~went back down to 154 to fight the newest 154 champion, a virtual no-name who has the least credentials among all the top 154 fighters
~scream Viva la Mexico when given the hard question regarding GGG

That's a lot of shenanigans from a guy who says he fears no one.

60/40 for Canelo would be a career high payday for Canelo as well. Why is Canelo ducking a career high payday?

[HeroBando]

Actually I think Oscar made $55 million and Mayweather made $10 million when they fought.
But look, that opened the doors to Floyd becoming a ppv star. So little g should do the same and take a smaller cut cause he's clearly the b-side in the negotiations

That's wrong, Floyd was guaranteed 10m but ended up making 25m, upside included. No flat fee, as usual with these huge fights.

[Fidel456]

Tired of people comparing this deal to ggg to the deal between Floyd and PAC. How the **** are u going to give the same type deal to ggg if PAC had fought and beat all kind of HOF fighters already. Ggg is barely starting to build his resume, gtfoh with that bull****

[Scipio2009]

If Manny Pacquiao really did make $150m off of the Mayweather fight, why in the heck is he still fighting Jessie Vargas, in a fight that no one actually wants, for his own stated objective of getting a paycheck to support his family?

Arum is obviously huffing another load of bull****, and it's always ridiculous to see folks parrot the nonsense without ever asking a follow-up question.

Manny Pacquiao, after getting his Floyd payday and at least another $20m for the Bradley fight, is fighting Jessie Vargas, once you consider the fight is being held off of the Vegas strip, HBO has no hand in pushing the fight, and Top Rank (after doing whatever they did for Crawford-Postol) is again taking the financial risk on a non-marketable fight, for a purse that is likely $15m, with he having already gone public with his need for every one of those dollars.

don't be fooled.

[Scipio2009]

I think.ggg would even take a 35/65 split. I hate the flat fee idea unless your just there for th check like a lot of fighters.

Golovkin went to the UK, to fight a welterweight fighter, for a check.

What makes this any different, especially when Alvarez still has never fought over 155lbs (with Golovkin having no intention to ever fight below 160)?

If double the fee that he got to go to the UK isn't enough, find a number that would be enough to head down to JerryLand and let Golden Boy know
