Comments Thread For: Canelo Says The Ball is in Golovkin's Court: Accept The Offer!

[AneesMoha]

For all the ggg fans
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

I think you don't understand what is meant by a flat fee....

Just like ya gggroupies say jacobs should take the money....

Same goes here ggg should take the money

We don't know what Jacobs was offered. All we know is the WBA purse Split Rules of 75/25 for Super vs Regular Champ. Maybe he was offered 30-35 and wanted 40 minimum? We do not know what Jacobs was offered.

10 milli9n is more than enough money. More established fighters have and continue to earn less.

a LOT of posters have made that same comment

Well it is common sense brah.

[AneesMoha]

Shane Mosley, against Pacquiao.

1) the fact than an offer may be unprecedented, does not prove that it is unfair

2) want proof? if GBP offered lil'G 50mil, Tom Loeffler would deem that offer to be "fair"..... so your premise above is flawed logic

2) if Golovkin/Jacobs cannot generate 10mil TOGETHER, then why should Canelo pay Golovkin 10mil?

10 Nope Mosely's purse was 33% plus a percentage of if that PPV to get him a guaranteed MINIMUM of R5 mill, Manny was 66% plus a bigger % of PPV to get him 20 mil neither took a flat fee.

2) We do not know what Jacobs was offered. And before you say 25% that is the WBA purse split rules not what was offered. Also Jacobs is not Canelo or Golovkin in terms of popularity.

No they're not. If there is ppv upside, that's automatic percentage split. You fail on boxing, and basic logic. We all know what flat fee means here.

Flat fee plus ppv upside. Meaning flat fee....plus a percentage of ONLY the ppv revenue if the ppv numbers exceed a certain minimum.

Percentage negotiations. Meaning fighter gets a percentage of the total revenue after all network and site fees are paid. In these cases, the fighter pays his promoter out of his purse. Which is why Mayweather bragged heavily after MayPac. His guaranteed purse went all to him....no promoter to pay.

Accept the offer for Dec 10th?
Is Saul the f@gg0t offering a fight in Feb/March?
May 2017 or Sept 2017?

[i'm a fun haver]

well well well... looks like lil g the bum killer is a bidness man after all. what a coward

When is Saul fighting again?

[BattlingNelson]

If the offer is for a fight at 160, GGG should take it and give Canela a KTFO.

[kafkod]

and the fact remains..... Golovkin COULD have agreed to fight Canelo for 10mil, but he CHOSE not to

gratz ^^

Canelo COULD have offered GGG $10million to fight him next, at 160lbs, when he was the WBC champ and GGG was his mando, but he CHOSE to give Golovkin his belt and run away instead.
