Comments Thread For: Hunter Says Canelo is Doing Golovkin Dirty With Flat Fee Offer

[Shadoww702]

The flat fee is because the fight will be Alvarez vs Golovkin and not the other way around.

1. GBP will do all of the promotional leg work as K2 doesn't know how to stage a fight of this magnitude.

2. The majority of the projected ppv buys will be to see Alvarez. His fans. His haters. Casual Mexican fans.

3. Alvarez is the fighter taking on the challenge of moving up in weight class and thus the creator of the "buzz" for the fight. Think about is...no one is clamoring just to see Trip fight. They want to see him fight Alvarez.

From a financial perspective, Team GGG had a better negotiation position at a catchweight. At 160, Alvarez can find good fights against former 154 young guns that make money while Trip gets older.

I always said GGG was going to get the weight or the $$$$ NOT both! If he wanted more money should of did the CW.

Exactly. Why should Golovkin take a flat fee when the potential is much more lucrative (ref: Mayweather vs Pac). Golden boy definitely stalling until Golovkin goes on social security.

"Potential money" is in the range of something more than $15 million or zero. If either of these guys loses in the near term, the $15 million vanishes and Golovkin's share is zero. If Canelo says, "I am moving on," Golovkin's share is zero. If all the folks who claim Canelo is ducking GGG are right, the chances this is the final offer are very high. It makes little sense for Canelo to pay GGG more money if he believes GGG will win the fight and probably knock him out.

Let's watch all the dumb ass GGG haters and trolls jump all over this one. What a bunch of simpletons and goofs.

That makes PERFECT sense to me??? Supposedly EASY work for GGG. Even if it goes 12 rounds that's $1.25 MILLION per round. Or or almost $500,000 per minute...If it's soo easy it could be more than $5 million a round or way more.

Right on! Hey, that is more money than I am making in retirement! No, that is more money than I would make in 75 lifetimes.

The B side fighter has to make sacrifices. He has to give in sometimes and GGG isnt doing that.

Im with canelo here

Yes B fighters has to sacrifice but let's get that Mayweather mentality out this game once and for all. Fighters have the right to earn according to the challenge. That Canelo feels butthurt that Floyd gave him peanuts and now he wants other fighters to go through that? Thats on him and that's what he thinks. Does it means he is right? No, and GGG is not a regular fighter or a contender, he is THE CHAMP, so he has to respect THE CHAMP.

$15 million is huge amount. GGG is not getting any younger. He should take the offer, take El Pollo to cleaners and then give him a rematch on his own terms.

I think GGG's group is hoping public opinion will pressure Canelo and GB to meet their demands. I don't want to come off as a conspiracy theorist, but did K2 or Sanchez contact Hunter and possibly others and ask them to publically support their position? After all, Hunter has no dog in that fight.

Chavez is gonna beat his ass and knock him out, and then face Golovkin..fcuk Canela!!!

That's the worst scenario for GGG. If canelo losses he never gets close to 15m offer again. Canelo will still get paid he will just go back down in weight or rematch Chavez for more money. But let's say chavez is allergic to money and fights GGG instead both fighters probably combined make 6m. And beating Chavez doesn't make GGG a superstar go ask fonfara or Sergio if you don't believe me. GGG only road to big bucks and superstar status is by fighting canelo. GGG has no leverage and is risking everything by not taking the offer and will look like the biggest fool if someone else beats canelo.

If you a GGG fan you actually better pray canelo doesn't lose. Otherwise he has no choice but to move up in weight or take high risk low cash reward fights. None of which get him the money or status a canelo fight grants.

I wouldn't be shocked?? You should never worry about another man's money?? Hunter has zero stake in this fight. The only thing is maybe seeing his fighter get almost killed made him EXTRA salty. They are trying their darenest to get the public against Canelo? I just don't feel sorry for GGG thinking $15,000,000 is an INSULT??? Pac, Cotto, Canelo, and if Floyd comes back are the ONLY fighters that can demand that much. Ward just made $5 and Kovalev $2 million and most have them P4P higher than GGG.

I would want the for SURE cash over potential. I could see one of them losing to either Jacobs or Chavez jr. And that potential ain't anything CLOSE to that anymore. Canelo is young enough to build himself back up. And plenty of good, GREAT fights at 154. Andrade, Charlo, Thurman, Spence jr. Down the road. Both very big Welterweights. MW division is TERRIBLE After Jacobs and GGG.
