How many fighters have turned down 5x their highest payday for a fight?

How does this conversation keep happening?

The obsession is sad.

And I could personally not care less as the fight still wouldn't be next.

It depends on who you support. Stevonson turns down a terrible offer he's ducking Kovalev. And that's the narrative until the end of time. However a lot of people like GGG so when he turns down his biggest offer by far somehow Canelo ends up the ducker. Same thing happened with Manny and Floyd.

Stevenson was not offered a flat fee for fighting Kovalev. He was offered 50% of the income from the fight.

It's the truth. Who has ever turned down such a massive bump in pay? Can you name someone.

You can't.

That **** isn't a real offer and that isn't how boxing works. He still ducked GG. GG doesn't need Canelo anymore.

Offered this by whom and when did they start negotiations?

Stevenson was not offered a flat fee for fighting Kovalev. He was offered 50% of the income from the fight.

Duva petitioned and was granted #1 contendership for Stevenson's title and a purse bid.

She got both and still ran.

Another GGG thread, just let it go man...

Never seen anyone accept a flat fee in the biggest fight in boxing. Golovkin deserves a split of the pot, we don't know how much this fight will make. It doesn't make sense for Golovkin to accept a flat fee. I don't blame him for turning that down. Pac turned down Floyds flat fee of 40 million despite never making close to that and went on to make about 4 times that when the fight happened. When Lewis and Tyson fought, it was obvious Tyson was the draw but Lewis was the champion and guess what? They split the fight 50-50. A flat fee is bull**** plain and simple. It's just another roadblock after they started off with demanding the fight at 155.

The fight will happen when Canelo and Oscar feel he can win and that's when they will offer Golovkin a fair percentage.

you just ended the thread right here. nothing else to see here gentlemen

The licensing fee offer from HBO was a joke and you know it.
