Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin is Asking For More Than He Deserves!

[Robbie Barrett]

This fight could generate over a 100 million in revenues..... so 10-15 million is a little weak.
My suggestion : keep the offer and beef it up with 25% of the revenues. That will boost GGG's pay to 30-35 million... which seems fair in comparison to Canelo's 65-70..

Another ******. Cable Providers and HBO take half the PPV money.

It's a negotiation being conducted in public.

It isn't going to end up as $15m unless Canelo doesn't want the fight and needs an excuse.

There are VERY few fights Canelo can make that will net him anything like the money he will get fighting GGG. Canelo is the A side for sure but GGG is a major B side who will be adding massively to the numbers. He should be treated with respect. Golden Boy know this. And of course, things will be still clearer after the next fights.

How does it make $100m? Show your math.

Even if it did, do you think the entire $100m is available to split?

[Szef]

Ummm... $45m. What %split do you think he'd get? It sure as hell won't be more than 30%, which is $13.5m. And that's with it doing ~1.7m buys.

Explain how $15m is a bad deal again...

It's a flat fee offer, when has GBP done that before? This situation has BS written all over it...

Regardless, we don't know if it's a bad deal until May when both GGG/Jacobs and Canelo/Jr numbers has surfaced... Neither Canelo or Golovkin are making impressive numbers right now, so that 15 million offer just doesn't make sense, because if Golovkin's popularity is as weak as GBP has said in the past then why give him so much money when he's worth much less than that?

It looks like they're trying to save face after the 'in Mexico we don't **** around' farce.

GGGTARDs keep forgetting about that.

97K wants $$$$$BILLIONS$$$$

[HeroBando]

So it would be fair to offer him a deal that'll most likely pay out less than $15m? Interesting...

Yes dumbfcuk, if it underperforms a lesser purse is fair. If it's huge, he's due more. This is all by definition, you shouldn't need my help

They think the cable providers, HBO, GBP, undercard fighters etc do it for free.

I didn't ask for your life history. Explain with simple math how $15m is a bad deal with the fight doing amazing numbers north of 1.5m buys.

[Scipio2009]

You mean Danny. You better believe Jacobs is getting ppv upside just like bums Khan and Chavez did vs Canelo. It's standard. So why do you suppose Canelo is insisting on no upside for a much bigger fight?

Will come down to what K2 was willing to offer on the fight to avoid that purse bid, tbh; If K2 is paying Daniel Jacobs the $3m-$4m that I expect, any upside number likely kicks in if the event manages to do over 500k PPV buys (25% was too low, and 40% was deemed to high; if Jacobs' number is $3m, that puts Golovkin's number at $6m-$8m. To pay the fighters and pay K2, you're probably looking at needing $20m in PPV revenue to make the numbers work), a threshold that's unlikely to be breached.

Alvarez has offered $10m-$15m for the fight; if Alvarez, somehow, agreed to split the US money with Golovkin, having done all of 125k PPV buys on his PPV debut, 50/50 you're looking a $25m-$30m in PPV revenue to break even. Even split the US take 2:1, and the break even would likely move to 1m PPV buys.

$15m plus a 15% upside on PPV buys beyond 1.5m. lol
