Dragging up a welterweight world champion the full two divisions, deads your point about offering 2lbs to make sure to make your second HBO appearance, lol. And the Chavez Jr gesture looks ever the more suspect with, after the fact, going on national television with the nonsense about splitting the weight and money 50/50 against Ward.
And lion share, if we're going to go there, requires a fair bit of context, tbh; the fact still remains, if the event was priced accordingly, that Alvarez-Chavez Jr has already made more money than the entire Golovkin-Jacobs PPV, off of the live event and beer sponsor alone. Not counting the Mexican TV, the rest of the international TV, the closed circuit, the merch, or the US PPV. "lion share", based on the business that each fighter brings to the table, basically has Alvarez walking away with 85%-90% of the take (with folks like you probably trying to argue that Golovkin, after selling 100k PPVs twice, should actually get 40% of everything or some other ****** number).
Alvarez is the star and the fight that Golovkin's been thirsting after for the last 3 years; Golovkin can shine up all of the trinkets that he wants, but he knows what the deal is.
Like every A-side/B-side fight in the history of the sport, the A-side fighters offers a weight and money, and the B-side fighter gets to choose to accept the offer or get passed on to the next possible opponent; the fact that clowns like you want to act as if K2 has some negotiating position here is laughable
