Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Prez: Canelo Has One Goal - To Fight Golovkin!

[Junbengreat]

For all the ggg fans saying Canelo offered ggg peanuts let me break it down as simple as possible.
Let's do Simple Math. Ggg will Stand to make $15-20 million after its all said and done. I'll make it easier for you. Against mayweather, Canelo made $5 million vs mayweathers $40 million. That means they made a combined $45 million which came out to Canelo 11% and mayweather 89% with Canelo bringing 2 JMW belts to the table. This fight also sold 2.1 million ppv's which was the highest sold ppv at the time. Next example: Canelo vs cotto- Canelo made $5 million vs cottos $15 million for a combined $20 million. Do the math. Canelo made 25% and cotto 75%. Are you still with me? Present day Canelo vs ggg. Ggg will make $15-$20 million vs Canelos $30-$40 million. This is all depends on how good the ppv sells. Let's do the math. Let's go low end (ggg) vs high end (canelo). If Canelo makes $40 million and ggg makes $15 million that's a combined total of $55 million. Ggg makes 27% and Canelo makes 73 %. Now let's look at GGG's high end vs Canelos low end. If ggg makes $20 million and Canelo makes $30 million that's a combined $50 million. Ggg gets 40% and Canelo gets 60%. Still following?! Now let's look at both fighters high end. If ggg gets $20 million and Canelo gets $40 million that's $60 million. Ggg gets 33% and Canelo gets 67%. This is as simple as I can explain it so you and every ggg fan can understand. 8 figures does not mean 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,or 9 million. It means a guaranteed at least $10 million right of the back plus a ppv percentage. Canelo took a guaranteed $5 million for cotto and mayweather. He's offering ggg at least double that for a fight that's not guaranteed to sell 2 million ppv's

if he wanted the fight they would have went to purse bid and canelo could have taken 75 percent of the purse to ggg's 25. he gave khan 37 percent of the purse sooo money was not the reason they didn't take the fight.

Hey genius, as the interim champion Golovkin was guaranteed 45% of a purse bid. So let's see, 2 weeks to negotiate a deal or go to purse bid and take short money? Easy choice, drop the belts and try to negotiate later.

why does this ugly little twerp fraud coward need another year to make the fight sign the contract and get KO'ed now

[Ake-Dawg]

Fact- GBP made and offer to K2
Fact- K2 has yet to formally respond
Fact- Alvarez is the A side
Fact- Golovkin does not generate much revenue as the marquee
Fact- Golovkin has never been in a meaningful fight.
Fact- Alvarez has fought in multiple meaningful fights at 154 and 155.

Which fighter needs the other to make big money or to legitimize himself on the boxing landscape?

.. this isn't even funny...

All time great made sacrifices, if Golovkin is an all time great he needs to meet the right circumstances or the win doesn't count.

fact canola is getting knocked out

[QUOTE=Ake-Dawg;17107132]Fact- GBP made and offer to K2. (yes an offer to fight 14 months from now)
Fact- K2 has yet to formally respond (false, both parties acknowledged they are actively negotiating)
Fact- Alvarez is the A side (true)
Fact- Golovkin does not generate much revenue as the marquee (neither does Canelo, every Canelo ppv where he is the A side has underperformed)
Fact- Golovkin has never been in a meaningful fight. (false, world title fights are cinisdered meaningful)
Fact- Alvarez has fought in multiple meaningful fights at 154 and 155. (maybe, but his last 2 opponents have been pointless cherry picks)

Which fighter needs the other to make big money or to legitimize himself on the boxing landscape?[(in the boxing world, ggg is recognized as the most feared boxer today and the most dominant fighter of any weight class. Canelo is looked at as a fearful protected fighter who gave away his belt to avoid finally fighting someone he doesn't enjoy a great weight advantage over. Canelo may be the biggest option for ggg but Canelo won't do big ppv numbers ever again unless ggg is involved. /QUOTE]

Going to have to think real hard on all Golden Boy fights for now on. I don't want this company to go on. There is a such a void for someone to fill as a promoter in the USA it isn't even funny. Top Rank has one foot in the grave. PBC appeared to have hired a crack head for a match maker. Golden Boy's game was old before they even arrived and beyond tiresome.
