Comments Thread For: Canelo Says Golovkin Given Good Offer, Not Being Reasonable

[aboutfkntime]

Get ready because this thread will be 15 pages by noon tomorrow.

Canelo and Golden boy doing what they do best talk about GGG before a fight so they can get their fanboys believing this junk. GGG can make the easy $15 million but we all know there is more in the pot for him, Canelo can't hide anymore. Make the fight in September and give us boxing fans the awesome year we've been having lately, bunch of good fights being made.

I don't believe that at all

15mil is obscene money, certainly no reason to kill a fight

[Scipio2009]

Let's assume the fight will generate $10 mil at the gate and 700k ppv buys, that's about $60 mil total money (using conservative estimate). If I am GGG, I turn down a $15 mil flat fee instead he should probably take something like $5 mil upfront + some % of the ppv

$10m cleared at the gate and 700k PPV buys (assuming $60 is the price point, you'd generate $42m), and you're still looking at $30m to the fighters.

$15m to Golovkin, and $15m to Alvarez is fair how?

[To get to $60m for the fighters, assuming $10 from the live gate, you'd need to generate north of $100m on PPV, lol]

If Golovkin turns down the offer, he's simply not going to get the fight, tbh.

Alvarez-ChavezJr is set for May, Cotto-Marquez seem to now be in discussion for a fight in June, and you could have a ChavezJr rematch or a fight against the Cotto-Marquez winner as the PPV fight for September, with eyes on a fighter like Billy Joe Saunders for December.

Its ok, GGG is undisputed , canelo is nothing & a loser

the network will take 45% before they split anything

I can't remember when there has been a mega fight and the fighter has taken a flat fee.. Anyone know when the last time that has happened? This is a question, I'm a neutral party..

Usually, in mega fights, you have comparable star power between the two fighters, compelling the camps to properly split the pot.

Alvarez is easily three times the star Golovkin is, while bringing in 4 or 5 times the money.

It doesn't make sense for Alvarez to split the pot.

They're not asking for more, they're asking for upside, dummy. Could be more, could be less, it's the norm for the biggest fight in boxing. Canelo got upside on both of those fights, even if the gap in starpower was far greater for Floyd vs Canelo than here.

15mil is a small fortune

Golovkin is a fool for not taking the money and binding Canelo contractually..... because anything can happen in the next 12-18 months, Golovkin may not even get that fight

[Scipio2009]

Why do you bother? You think anyone takes your comical projections seriously? You know you're usually off by a factor of 3, at least

Those aren't projections; the receipts from the Nevada State Athletic commission stated the Alvarez-Khan number and the Texas commission published the Alvarez-Smith number.

There's never been a report of the busines that Golovkin-Lemieux did, and there never will be

lol. 5 times the biggest purse you've ever seen in your life, plus upside on the event? gtfoh

Floyd and Alvarez were both bankable draws in their own rights before the fought, Floyd was Floyd, but Alvarez drew massive money in Mexico and his appeal to the Latino/Mexican/Mexican American fans made him a big draw in CA/NV/TX.

Golovkin doesn't expand the pie for Alvarez, so why in the heck would he cut him in on everything?

[CoachMac34]

If you guys think negotiations are dragging along now, just wait......if GGG starches Jacobs inside of 4-5 rounds, Canelo is heading for the hills, hiding in the nearest bunker !! If this happens the fight will NEVER take place !! If GGG struggles then Canelo will say his offer is justified.

Sorry your analogy fails. SR said they passed cause Jr was not ready for so much money lol. OTOH anybody featuring in the biggest fight in boxing is due ppvupside, right?

Nope, he said they want more money... "We are two fights away from making the £6m that was offered"
