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

[Kigali]

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.

Pac didn't see a dime from the Cotto fight,per VisionQuest.

You best believe he only saw a fraction of what he was supposed to get in the Floyd and Bradley fights.

Who is scared of who?? Remember this ... It was canelo who gave up the belt to avoid a mandatory bout with GGG ... Period ...!! What mexican fighter gives up the very thing that is most cherised to any prizefighter... It shows the character of the man so stop all this bullsh..!! Oscar is scared and he is making canelo into a joke !!

Chavez Sr gave up the belt he won off Taylor than fight Rapheal Pineda.

Outside of Cotto, there's not a current fighter 154-168 who would reject $10m to fight Alvarez, let alone $5m.

The simple fact that Golovkin seems to be eyeing something at least near $15m, drastically limits the kind of money that Alvarez can make on the matchup whenever it happens.

Because, let's be clear here; $15m to Golovkin and $15m to Alvarez would necessitate the event having to do nearly $70m in revenue to cover everything ($10m as the site fee, $60m on PPV), a projection that already tops the business that Cotto-Alvarez did.

The fight could literally do the numbers that ODLH-Mayweather did and Alvarez, after paying Golovkin a purse (after he's already rejected $10m), still wouldn't make $50m.

get over yourself

You a politician, I asked one simple question yet you found a way to work right around that question and not answer it, WHO WOULD CANELO MAKE A FIGHT WITH TO BRING IN THE SAME REVENUE AS GGG WOULD?, I personally think this fight would easily bring in 50 million plus, don't forget, they will sell the ppv all over the world, gate takings, merchandise, if GBP offered 10 million you can bet your hat that they hay projections of 100 million , that would equate to 10% for GGG, your a fool if you think GBP are offering that out of the kindness of their hearts, wake up and smell the roses

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Listen up ******...you cross that threshold from 154 to "155"...that is not a weight class in and of itself. You are now fighting as a middleweight. If you can't take the heat, gtfo of the kitchen. There is no 155 pound title. It's a middleweight title. Defend it or don't...but please stfu along the way.

its a catchweight, he gave up the belt and offered ggg the fight, ggg team turned it down.

GGG is coward he could have fought canelo but was too scared but he wasnt scared of facing Rosado lmfao.

He wants to make as much money as possible before he sustains another "L" point blank period. That's not bad by itself but you can't go live and say "we Mexicans don't fcuk around"...and start fcuking around in a cowardly fashion. Truth is he is trying the mayweather formula under golden boy governance trying to age a fighter for a better shot at beating him. Mexican fighters don't roll like that homie...at least not until this one.

Why are you linking that article that doesn't mention 158 or any Canelo offer at all, again? Are you ******ed?

[Scipio2009]

Pac didn't see a dime from the Cotto fight,per VisionQuest.

You best believe he only saw a fraction of what he was supposed to get in the Floyd and Bradley fights.

Which explains why he's still fighting, has chosen to take a fight that almost no one actually wanted to see, and Freddie is trying to slow-start the drumbeat for another chance at another Mayweather payday.

Arum is so use to the boxing media not checking him on anything that he can openly make a statement (to undermine the only other promoter who is basically competing with him for dollars on HBO), yet not expect that same statement to be spun back on him when the conversation changes.
