Is Canelo vs. GGG even that big of a fight financially?

[Scipio2009]

Its rumored that GGG was offered a 10 million dollar flat fee (dont really care if its true or not) but my question is, is this fight even worth that kinda $?

Despite what most people say or think GGG isnt known and Canelo isn't the cash cow hes made to be. Sure Canelos the biggest $ draw in boxing but thats not saying much in this era. Unless one of these guys goes on dancing with the stars or produces a celebrity sex tape I dont see this doing more that Cotto vs. Canelo at all no matter how much they marinate it.

Anyway, if GGG was offered that kinda $ he should just jump on it because if hes really making 10 million, GBP is in for a loss or a lot lower #'s than they figure.

Thoughts?

Cotto-Alvarez did $55m in PPV revenue, on top of the $15m site fee that was paid out by MGM Resorts (add on the other revenues as you go).

Once all outside parties were paid, Cotto/Alvarez/Golden Boy/RNS likely ended up with $40m to split up among themselves.

Golden Boy is definitely taking a risk, but if the fight gets near what Cotto-Alvarez did, Alvarez ends up walking away with a 75/25 share on the fight (below his usual share, but whatever).
