Are GGG's opponents pricing themselves out or are they believing the GGG hype?

[Pain~Lucy]

Something isn't adding up. They tell us he's big enough to turn down $10mil for Canelo but he isn't even big enough to be on PPV against the #2 fighter in his division? If he can't afford to pay Jacobs $3 mil and fight on PPV how the hell is he worth more than $10 mil?? I know people are gonna say it's because GGG-Canelo will be a big PPV fight but how big can the fight be when Canelo himself only did 900k with an established PPV star? GGG-Canelo will probably top off at 700k. He's a bigger star now than before he first started fighting on HBO but his opponents purses are staying damn near the same. Provodnikov got paid more against Alvarado than Monroe Jr & Wade combined. Alvarado at the time was a bigger star than GGG is now? Something isn't adding up

How much do you think these fights will generate?? Lmao you think GGG vs Jacobs will generate 10m?

Cobra is saying Jacobs would be the best name on Golovkin's resume. Jacobs should at least get 35%. Not the purse bid rules. Of course it went to the purse bid because K2 felt more comfortable with 25%

Aside from any of that. Cobra is also making the point that if it's all about accomplishment and revenue, how in the hell does K2 not accept a 10million offer? With that resume?

what link? man up. Imagine if Conte was a transvestite. is that not enough for you?

don't get spooked . #48 the hype job

Link to say K2 requested 40 / 60. Keep up.

Or you could make yourself useful and go and ask Dontae to canvass professional opinion as to whether GGG deserves a flat fee or a purse split, though of course there are some who would say Dontae may be selective in who he asks, how he asks and what he chooses to report so a broader spectrum may be valuable. Still it'd be a start.

Remember after Lemiuex won his title he wasn't gonna fight GGG. They upped the money and put it on PPV and he changed his mind. K2 is afraid to take another PPV risk because if it does low numbers again they lost bargaining power with Canelo on the split. HBO isn't spending any money. So they gotta probably take a loss if they want to get the fight done l. Arum has taken several losses this year in order to get fights made for Crawford and Lomachenko.

Yeah. it's a shame K2 seem fairly risk averse when it comes to taking a hit on the purses. Maybe they're looking at it from the perspective that Golovkin is unlikely ever to achieve the status of PPV star and the HBO pursestrings are already as loose as they're going to get. Maybe they think the only result of paying to get a 'name' opponent (such as they are. Jacobs and BJS scarely qualify IMO, but that's what there is at MW) is that Golovkin will have less $s at the end of the day without anything more to show for it. It ain't what I'd prefer but it's their choice I guess. Golovkins likely to end up as one of the big 'might have beens' if he doesn't land a few more respectable opponents before long. Guys only got a few years left.

Either way, if there's gonna be decent fights it's looking like either HBO are gonna have to pony up that bit extra or GGGs gonna have to take the hit. Would be nice to think that a few more guys would be willing to just roll the dice though, whether GGG chooses to or not.

huwatt? like I said how much money will the fight generate? im not talking about purse bids lol, of course he'll get more if he avoid purse bid. so if you're saying he should get at least 35% and cobra mentioned 3m then you guys think GGG will be making 6m?? and come on, this fight is totally different from jacobs fight, that fight is scheduled less than a year from now, you dont offer a flat fee when its the biggest ppv that can be made. So come on man, let's not kid ourselves.

yeah yeah. Pac didn't agree to 40million and then when the fight happens they blame Floyd because it didn't happen earlier.

lol. dude, stop trolling man.

lmao, those they did not matter anyways, he also made 3-4x what was offered, you're not even trolling, I think you're just dumb

[Mr.MojoRisin']

GGG will pay his opponents **** unless they bring him a belt.

[Lester Tutor]

no I just think in real life youre a coward since you wont admit that industry was flavoring that the fight SHOULDVE been earlier when Pac was in his ''prime.''

apparently Pac is always broke so what does it matter when they wouldve fought?

you like that last question don'T you??

[Motorcity Cobra]

It'll generate more than Lemiuex vs GGG. Jacobs isn't as big a star as GGG but he's way more known in the NY area than Lemeiux. He can also reach different audience than Lemeiux& GGG. People say Jacobs-Quillin only did 9k in attendance. But how many fighters are doing that? GGG, Canelo, Ward, Pacquiao. GGG-LEmeiex did a $2mil gate at MSG. Garcia vs Paulie did a $1.1 mil gate in Brooklyn with cheaper ticket prices and and less people. GGG-Jacobs will do more than the $2mil and they'll probably get a site fee for Barclays which they won't get for MSG.

But my point is if GGG is big enough that he can turn down $10mil and a piece of PPV he should've been able to give Jacobs $3mil and put the fight on PPV. If he can't host a PPV fighting a guy more known than the guy he fought previously on PPV then something isn't adding up. An established PPV star, Cotto, did 900k on PPV. How much are people thinking GGG vs Canelo is gonna do?
