Golden Boy flat fee offer to GGG is $15mil, not $10mil

[The Akbar One]

If 15 million is true Golovkin should just take, it, and fight a scrub instead of Danny Jacobs. Jacobs may KO Golovkin, the he won't get any payday period.

Answer me this:

Is it a 15m offer with no stipulations?

1: Yes
2: No
3: I dont know.

Loeffler and Sanchez both like to talk.

I'm sure they would have spoken up by now if the offer contained any stipulations.

[Eff Pandas]

but nobody knows whats REALLY in the deal. When did Eric Gomez suddenly become this pillar of credibility? And who knows what rematch language is in the deal. Or does golden boy have an escape clause if Canelo loses an interim bout or puts it off to rematch chavez or something?

Whether they accepted the offer today, or spent another couple of months tweaking the deal, the fight isnt going to happen a single day sooner, so I dont know why everyone is getting their panties all bunched up

This.

Of course GBP's side is going to act like K2's side is making bad decisions & K2's side is going to act like GBP's side is making crappy offers. Thats kinda how the public side of talks work.

Also yea I think people are forgetting this fight isn't happening for 9 months if God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha & the Dalai Lama were involved in making it happen so its a little silly to make too much of anything still.

He said several times that they have made Golovkin an 'incredible offer' that is more than fair.

Loeffler has never denied the 8 figure offer. We all just assumed it was $10 mil.

[Motorcity Cobra]

first off I dont believe for a minute that they are demanding 40%. Everybody knows thats a non-starter

And secondly, maybe you are unfamiliar with how promotional contracts work, but typically its not up to the fighter

I thought the promoter worked for the fighter? When it comes to Canelo (or any other fighter for that matter) if they want the fight made they tell their promoter to get the job done. But when it comes to GGG he can't tell his promoter to get the fight made. He can only do what his promoter tells him to do. You people and your double standards when it comes to this guy.

I'm sure Tom will come out and set the record straight. Or maybe he'll keep quiet like he did with BJS when everybody was saying he offered Saunders $4 mil but it turned out to only be $1.5 mil

Loeffler has never denied the 8 figure offer. We all just assumed it was $10 mil.

and Oscar has never confirmed if its a clean deal, or one loaded with rematch language, options, or escape clauses. So whats your point?

[BoxingFan85]

Didn't Oscar himself tell in an interview it was 10mil after the Smith fight??

[Motorcity Cobra]

Didn't Oscar himself tell in an interview it was 10mil after the Smith fight??

He said eight figure. Everybody assumed $10mil

there are only a handful of fighters who can tell their promoter whats what. I dont know enough about the LEGAL relationship between GGG and K2 to really have an opinion as to whether he can do whatever he wants to.

Standard language in promotional agreements gives the PROMOTER the right to negotiate, make, or reject any fight. Thats the trade off. The fighter gets the security of having a minimum number of fights per year, at xxx minimum purse, and the promoter gets the final say so on all the details.

But since you seem to think you know everything about how promotional contracts work, feel free to ignore people who have actually written them.........

Edit: Honestly, the amount of arrogance you have, especially about matters you obviously dont know the first thing about, well its getting pretty tiring. I think Im done talking with you, because its pointless.

Gee, now $15 million. Since we're going to start throwing out imaginary numbers for a fight Golden Boy refuses to consider for another 10 months, why not 20 million? Or 30 million? Hell, go all the way up to 100 million! What a coward Golovkin is!
