Comments Thread For: Chavez: Canelo Picked Me Over GGG For 'Easier Fight, More Money'

[boxingitis]

Why did you name 5 guys Canelo is/has fought and only 1 for GGG?? Can you please provide the other 4 names GGG has fought before Jacobs??? That way we can compare their resumes more fairly...

IBF middleweight Champion Lemiux, Canelo and Saunders ducked him, what other options does he have. As of now GGG is facing the toughest available in his division, compare to Canelo. Last time he did this was vs Lara.

You do know golovkin has k2 as his management so if goldenboy get a percentage of canelos purse then so do K2 with Golovkins purse...come on shadow behave

I know K2 is probably going to take most of what GGG gets like always but at the same time all they have to do is put GGG in a cab for a few promotions and show up for the fight to collect a very nice payday. Oscar is the one who is going to do all the leg work. If this was a co-promotion with K2 and if both were putting up $$$$ and splitting the risks I would hope the split would be way better???

What would be funny ass hell would be if both lose??? And then their would be 20 pages of comments about who's loss was worst??? We would get tons of ppl arguing about that next.... Well my guys lasted so and so more rounds. Well your guy ran,etc., etc,. Lol.

Win/lose. Fight/don't fight. These two are going to be linked for probably ever. If Canelo wins ggg was past his prime and waited out too long like Floyd did too pac. If GGG wins Canelo was too green, too small, never fought a Tru MW...

It doesnt matter to me, I see Jacobs as a bigger threath than Canelo. The only benefits of Canelo is more Audience and Money. Canelo needs GGG, just look at his last PPV numbers 220K vs Smtih thats only 120K more than Mr 97. But Canelo is Mega Star.

I am not convinced that a Canelo/Golovkin fight would do big PPV numbers. First, GGG is not a big PPV draw, second, most folks give Canelo little chance to win, third, PPV has become less attractive to American audiences after the Mayweather/Pacman fiasco, and finally boxing, in general, is much less popular here than it was even 5 years ago.

Well, at least Jr. is realistic. He's right, Team Canelo thinks he's a high-paying showcase fight. Would love to see Jr's stoner, slacker ass surprise everyone and upset the apple cart.... dont see it happening.

still WAR JR! do it for all us STONERS & SLACKERS!! who got an opportunity they didnt deserve!

GGG's last PPV, in the UK against Brook, sold 642k .. and that was just in the UK. Brooks previous PPV headliner only did 39k, so you can see from that how much appeal Golovkin has now.

GGG has many more fans worldwide than Canelo. Taking that into consideration, plus Canelo's falling HBO PPV numbers, Golovkin would bring as much money to the fight as Canelo.

50/50 on all the income would be fair, imo.

UK PPV's don't count there like 1/4 of the price here

[Sadiqkingofko]

If you give the real numbers for those fights in the order they happened, this what you get: 900k, 500k, 260k.

That's not good for Canelo, not good at all.

What do you mean the real numbers?? 900K, 600K, 300K are the real numbers, just like how many people accuse the Golovkin/Lemiuex fight to only selling 97K while I stand firm it sold 150K

[Sadiqkingofko]

600k with khan is not true. golden boy asked hbo to not release the numbers. you know why... khan is not a draw in USA

I live in a area where there are about 100K ******s and I can say at least 30K homes bought the fight in a small city, all the cafes and restaurants had the fight on

Who's that??? Ohh nevermind. He's the guy that was beat by that career 154lber Alcine who Angulo KO'd in round 1. Where the other 3 fighters???

So if Canelo ducked Lemuix can I say GGG ducked Lara??? Both are BS but ppl still say it...

I think they should count but divide the buys by 1/4 like u said.

Canelo duck GGG by Vacating his belt. Again Canelos 220 k ppvs vs Smith is not to far from GGG 97 K or 150K ppvs, so there is not a big difference. Did GGG vacate his belt vs Jacobs?
