True. Good point. Oscar is the promoter throwing out numbers all the time like he's the Vince McMahon of boxing. Let him pull out this alleged $15M contract since he's one of the promotional outlier with pushing forth his financial moves.
Plus shooting down all the nutty sh^t Oscar says would be a full time job for anyone lets quit acting like he's not prone to this type of behavior.Comment

Canelo is also a 250k ppv guy when he fights nobodies... so don't misjudge that.
You think that GGG vs Cotto wouldn't sell well? You think GGG vs Mayweather wouldn't sell a lot too?
When Canelo sold well it was because he fought against high profile fighters. When he didn't the sales dropped badly to between 250k and 300k.
GGG vs Canelo wasn't called the biggest fight in boxing last year just because. It really was at that time. So GGG deserves some credit, there's something in him that is not present on Canelo vs... Liam smith.
So from that POV, Golovkin deserves at least a 30 or 35% of the split.Comment

An offer being too good for you to believe is not proof the offer isn't real! 15m all depends on how much Golden Boy believes the PPV would do. I do think a Canelo/GGG fight was a safer bet for Golden Boy a year ago then it is now that GGG/Jacobs flopped so badly. Which is why you take the offer that was on the table they phuking idiots for passing because his stock went down. I think it's as simple as GGG camp priced themselves out. They gambled on GGG being a bigger star then he really is. If Oscar said he gave a 8 digit offer and someone came out saying no Oscar is lying and it's a he said she said type thing I can understand calling Oscar out on this one. But when GGG entire camp goes silent when Abel cant seem to shut up about anything and Loeffler has come out speaking on other details and reports why not this one? GGG doing interviews saying I want 50/50 deal it's clear to me this offer was real and these idiots passed up thinking a better deal was coming because they really think GGG is a superstar too bad the PPVs for Jacobs fight killed all that. Now they look like fools and got their fangirls trying to argue it's not real when Loeffler ain't even doing it.
Got you saying the offer wasn't real for no other evidence then I think it's more then GGG is worth. yet GGG out his own mouth says I want 50/50 his team have proven they are delusional and don't have pulse on what he's worth. He making 2m and turning down 8 digit offers. LMAOComment

And yet Loeffler didn't call his bluff and accept 15m or expose him to the media with a "fake" offer. Name one time he's been accused of making an offer for fight and then the rival promoter saying it was lie? Meanwhile I literally listed multiple example of Loeffler being exposed as a liar just within the last year. Just because you don't think the fight is worth that much don't mean the offer wasn't real. And damn sure doesn't prove Oscar is lying. But I can prove Loeffler a liar and I can prove that Loeffler has NEVER once denied the amount nor anyone else in the GGG team.
Saunders called Loeffler's bluff him and warren accepted every demand even agreed to go to Kaza phuk stan if needed to make the fight. But GGG couldn't call Oscar's bluff on this so called fake offer that they admitted to receiving? GTFOComment

Idk about 250k, but for sure Canelo is in that 400k-ish range lately. Lets put it in full context too doe. Canelo does 400k-ish vs some of his least competitive & lesser known opponents & GGG can't get 200k for some of his best & most known opponents.
No doubt it was & probably still is the biggest fight in boxing. I'm just not confident it can sell 1.5M PPV's which is the range where $15M/Gtd for the B side numbers might make more sense to throw around.GGG vs Canelo wasn't called the biggest fight in boxing last year just because. It really was at that time. So GGG deserves some credit, there's something in him that is not present on Canelo vs... Liam smith.
So from that POV, Golovkin deserves at least a 30 or 35% of the split.
Only 8 fights in PPV boxing history have gotten 1.5+ buys & I'm not confident GGG has enough pull in the PPV market to get them to that number & if Canelo can even get to 2/3's of the way to that number as the A side is still a legit question in the air.Comment

Go look at the last 20 stories about Oscar on this site. I'd bet at least a 3rd of them are lies, bs hype or misdirection. I don't got the time to list all of Oscar's bs he's so known for it. Oscar is so used to bsing people he gots that confidence in being right despite being wrong thing going on ffs brother. I suspect Oscar believes everything that comes out of his own mouth.Comment

Alvarez likes fighting at the theatre, MSG. "Sells out" 4000 seats! He does even better at the theatre if it's against a Brooklynite.Comment
