    So Golovkin is going to duck in your opinion?

      Negotiations shouldn't even be public. However, I think the question still stands.

      I personally don't care, and don't follow it closely enough to remember the details, but I'm pretty sure there have been quotes flying around that not even for $100 million would be enough.

        That offer hasn't been made though. If you think JMM would really turn down 100 mil i don't know what to say.

            Hard to tell because the fans started to care more about how much the fighters make than who they fight in the 2010's.

              is the context for $100 million in Macau, the Phillippines or in Vegas? If Arum has publicized that such revenue can only be ''justified'' in Asia and ''surely not'' in Vegas, then Marquez can troll that too.

              If Arum and Pacquiao truly want vengeance from that knockout at all costs then Arum should say that ''Marquez turning down 100 million for a fight in Asia is ridiculous...he certainly knows that those numbers can't be made in Vegas...''

                I know that one hasn't. He'd say he had turned down the offer, not that he would.

                Lets talk about what we know not what could have been in a fantasy world.

                  I honestly don't know, and don't really care. The point is GGG is willing to fight Canelo, and the ts is trolling as if he doesn't.

                      Didn't he just say he turned down good money for Pacquiao, but would rather fave Cotto, potentially for less $?

                      If you want to stay away from fantasy; why do you pretend GGG doesn't want to fight Canelo?
