Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Respect Chavez Jr. More, Canelo Gave Me His Belt!

[Rip Chudd]

Good, GGG needs to drop the good boy image and go savage on Canelo.

He needs to go the Shannon Briggs route. Go stalk Canelo at restaurants while wearing the WBC belt that he gave him, and take a bite off his taco.

then call him a good boy

The standard split has always been 55/45. Nowhere in the rules does it say that isn't the case anymore. Everyone involved in boxing say it was 55/45. B...bb...bbut it doesn't say it specifically anymore so they're all wrong.

BTW you are reading the wrong rules. The up to date ones are here.

Thanks!

Division of Proceeds in a Purse Offer. The net purse offer (after deduction of all sanction
fees payable to the WBC hereunder) shall be divided as follows:
(a) first, 10% of the total shall be set aside as a bonus for the winner of the contest,
then, of the remainder,
(b) 70% of the remaining 90% shall be for the champion and 30% of the remaining
90% shall be for the challenger in title bouts; and
(c) 50% of the remaining 90% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or
elimination bouts;
provided, however, that the WBC Board of Governors, may by a majority vote, authorize a
modification of the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in unusual or special cases, such as consideration of outstanding marketing value of one of the
boxers, as the WBC shall determine in its sole discretion. The modification of the split of the remainder shall be limited to 60-40% and 55-45%, except in the most exceptional
circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50%.

THANKS! So in essence it was a 63%-27% split with 10% going to the winner...

So in theory if GGG won it would be a 63%-37%??? I can see why they wouldn't want that! GGG isn't worth paying him close to 40%.

Thanks. It doesn't say anyhing about the interim champ getting 45% there either, or the standard split being 55/45.

Where the fuck did you pull that from? Lol.

You're working too many hours on here mate. Tell your boss you need a break and some shut-eye.

This is true, Canelo coughed up the belt. At the same time showing how watered down they have become. GGG has the belts but his PPV wont do half of Canelo/Chavez does. He may hold the belts but Canelo still holds the cards for the fight. This is why I say take the money and expose Canelo if it is as easy as he and his team think. I mean he really cant think he truly has much say in a fight that will mainly be carried off Canelo's name.

You're absolutely correct! Belts don't equal money. What did the IBF WW belt do for Kell Brook? He fought Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin, and Kevin Bizier. Did he do any better financially than Amir Khan? Who needs who? Is Terence Crawford doing any better with the belt, than Adrien Broner without the belt? Who did Arum make an offer to, for a Pacquiao fight? Broner or Crawford? GGG needs Canelo, just like Brook needs Khan, and both Canelo and Khan know it! Both Canelo and Khan will have bigger fights ($$$) than GGG and Brook! If they both (Canelo and Khan) win their next fights, they will be in an even stronger negotiating position during the next rounds of negotiations!

LMFAO! I love how you're assuming that GGG would have beaten Canelo there, and that Canelo and Oscar were both working on that same assumption!

It doesn't. Unless K2 tries and say "unusual or special cases, such as consideration of outstanding marketing value"

Later on down the rules it even says the "Interim Champion" is still considered the challenger.

[deathofaclown]

Canelo dropped the title because of Golovkin getting 45%.

You can delete the part in bold and that will be the top and bottom of the story.

[hammyholdup]

Canelo isn't brave as Canelo is a Mex who are aways afraid

Canelo is a protected scared carefully matched boxer since Floyd's embarrassing whipping of Mex Can-yellow. Just as there is no Mexican army Canelo must be protected from GGG. Giving GGG the 160lb belt shows the Mexican way of battle. Surrender aND RETREAT TO REGROUP and then face a weaker enemy. SI'

I never said it did, i was just helping you out by pointing you to the updated rules. I won't bother next time Wanker.

The standard split of 55/45 for interim fights is widely known.

3.22
Interim Championship Rule. In special circumstances, including when the WBC in its sole discretion declares a WBC champion temporarily unavailable to defend his title, the WBC may sanction a bout between Qualified Challengers for an interim championship, or otherwise recognize an interim champion in the division.

In its sole discretion, the WBC shall subsequently determine the timing and terms of anybout between a Champion and Interim Champion to determine a sole champion in the division, provided, however, that an Interim Champion shall never be deemed a mandatory challenger, or entitled to greater share of proceeds of any purse offer beyond that of a challenger, without a specific prior written order to that effect from the WBC President or
his designee.

For the avoidance of doubt, a WBC Interim World Championship shall be considered a true WBC World title for all purposes, other than with respect to a bout versus the actual World Champion, absent any order to the contrary from the WBC in its sole discretion.
