Is Triple G ducking Canelo & Ward?

[daggum]

theres an article on blh in which golden boy says if golovkin fights in june they might not fight ggg lol. they are so scared. WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO PROMOTE THE FIGHT! only 3 months we will have to fight someone else!

yea.....thats why he changed his demands and only wanted to give pac a 40 million flat fee. they called his bluff and he ran(he did the same thing to winky earlier so we know how he operates). also when he changed the purse split from 50-50 to a 40 million flat fee both of them had done 1.25 million ppv buys in their last fights so how was 50-50 not fair? we found out the drug testing was never the issue when he changed his demands.

Unfortunately there's testimony by Roach and Ariza that Manny and Arum didn't want to do random blood testing, which was a huge fault from their part.

Floyd never wanted the fight. He "retired" after the DLH fight to avoid that rematch and then retired again to avoid prime Pac, Cotto, Margarito and Paul Williams. He had nowhere to run. He waited them out and came back to fight a much smaller version of Marquez who was drinking his own urine instead of the PEDs he was using against Pac.

Floyd used multiple excuses to wait Manny out--he has to submit to random testing, he has to leave Bob Arum, he has to fight fighters X, Y, and Z first, he has to accept what amounts to 10% of the purse, and several more. Back when Pac agreed to testing a few years prior to their fight he went silent. Each time Pac called his bluff he went silent until he realized Pac was past his prime. This is the Mayweather formula, which is flash before substance.

Ironically it was Floyd caught with an illegal IV (cheating), not Pac.

You must be new around here...

Floyd was a golden gloves champ in three weight divisions. There won't be an American pedigree like Floyd for a LONG time. The Mayweather''s need no introduction with their Midwest techniques and contribution to the game.

But the theories are always fun to talk about. Toradol abuse Pac took the next level, and salt water mystical healing aside from getting KTFO 3 times!

More like 25% combined. With $75M PPV and another potential $10M live gate, you're still looking at an offer of 25% tops going to GGG, and that's if it only sells one million. If it does more, that's more that goes to Canelo.

No. They take half.

Assuming everything left goes to the fighters, $15m makes it a 68/32 split in Canelo's favour. And that's assuming the fight does fantastically well.

Explain how that's a bad deal.

And Floyd insisted on the less stringent USADA testing methods versus the more thorough VADA testing that Manny requested. Result: Floyd gets away with using an illegal IV prior to Pac fight to "rehydrate" which we all know is BS.

Rath and Spoon23 are back..

Easy work.. #48ism

Whose moronic alt is this?

It's 5x his highest pay day ******. Name one fighter that has turned down 5x their highest payday for a fight. It's unheard of.

I reckon every fighter who avoided Wlad would have been turning down at least 5x their highest payday - as well as an opportunity to win a belt.
He was willing to throw a decent chunk of change at lots of guys but found it really hard to get anyone willing to step up.

The thing is though that you have just changed the goalposts. You aren't talking about just a career high payday anymore. You are now talking about a 5x highest payday. You are adding in extra clauses and caveats that have nothing to do with my commentary.

So let's pretend that we were talking about whether someone should just accept a fight automatically because it was 5x their highest payday.
The answer is obviously no, not automatically. It would depend on the context.

Yes I know you post like this is because you are trolling, and I know that you loathe GGG for some weird reason.

It is a shame to see people like yourself who don't even like boxing, but prefer stories of 'goodies' and 'baddies' instead. Perhaps you should swap your interests to professional wrestling instead?

No they don't take half, so you can keep your math and I'll keep mine. Canelo doesn't deserve a 70/30 split. GGG is under no pressure to fight him, but Canelo is the one whose legacy is at stake if he continues to find ways to avoid him. Now that he is fighting Chavez at 165lbs, he is out of excuses. Only way out is to price himself out.

these are the type of guys that buy Canelo PPV shows... Dummies

We've got people who don't know wtf they're talking about crying.

Read this and educate yourself before you embarrass yourself more than you have already.

The truth is $15m is a fantastic offer, and from any reasonable standpoint, GGG doesn't seem to want the fight.
