[lopez36]

but didnt ggg tha bum killa say he does not fight for money? He said he just likes to fight and he is not a businessman hahahahahaha.... So which one is it????

exactly..thats just what I was thinking,he said it more than once,...he has to realize that at the end of the day this is a business....if golovkin in smart he'll take the fight and if he wins he will make more and imagine if there was a rematch and he won?..with next fights after that he will be set for life,,,i think for him 75/25 is fair..he will help sell but at the end of the day canelo fighting nobodies does 300k..ggg does less than half..so 75/25 is what I would offer and say take it or leave it,no more negociating,it's that or nothing so let us know so we can move on

That doesn't make sense though. You can't have a flat fee + plus something else. The reason Loeffler/Golovkin/Herman bros or whoever won't accept is because they aren't getting any percentage split, hence a flat fee

You clearly don't know what a flat fee is, he has a guaranteed purse of 8 figures and depending ppv buys sponsorships etc and HBO gets they split he gets some of upside

[Richard Hamilton]

He should take it

[kafkod]

to convince the boxing world that he aint a hypejob ?

how could a fan of a guy who has NEVER had a career-defining fight question his guy FINALLY landing a meaningful opponent?

you guys LITERALLY don't want that fight anymore than you wanted Ward/GGG or Ward/Kovalev LMAO

Who is "the boxing world"? 5 trolls with 25 alts at this site?

Oh how the tables have turned. So all that crap he spewed about disrespecting boxing with catch weights and it's about the belts and making history not about money was all BS. Pedo Sanchez said Canelo is acting like a Diva. But it seems to me his fighter Is the one acting like a Queen (Golovqueen).

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

The whole dispute is cause Canelo offered a flat fee, which is a no go for the biggest fight in boxing. Here's how Canelo Cotto revenue was split

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/what-canelo-alvarez-s-knockout-win-of-amir-khan-means-for-boxing-054532923.html

Cotto had a 55-45 revenue split edge per contract in the fight, because he came in as the champion. But several days before the fight, Cotto dumped the belt because he was in a dispute with the sanctioning body over the amount he had to pay in fees.
So Alvarez, who paid the fees that night, could win it and Cotto could not. Afterward, when it came to splitting the revenues, Golden Boy wanted to change the 55-45 split in favor of Cotto since he was technically no longer the champion when the fight happened.

If he wants the fight thats the offer..plain and simple

[SchoolTheseCats]

Very true. This is boxing. Anything could happen between now and next Sept. If Canelo isn't willing to fight Golovkin next he should stop talking about him and only open his mouth again when he is ready to back his words up with some action.

triple G can't fight canelo next he has a WBA mando have to take care of so that argument pretty much don't hold no water

[Scipio2009]

Obviously they low ball.. 10 mil flat fee... ******, just like when Floyd offered manny 40 million.. u can make more on a split..

65/35 seems fair... 67/33 ggg can't refuse...

Alvarez doesn't have to fight Golovkin. When he's moved up, I have no doubt that Billy Joe Saunders is ready to fight him, Cotto is ready for a rematch, and the WBO is likely to let Alvarez battle any middleweight that he wants.

If Golovkin doesn't think the money's good enough, go ahead and pursue another bout that is more worth his while.

Flat fee means no upside, duh.
