As far as the financial split, correct me if I'm wrong but that would've only been the case if it went to purse bid. Seeing as Canelo and golden boy knew once they best cotto that they'd have to negotiate with ggg I think they had enough time to come to an agreement. I know the wbc gave them 2 weeks after the khan fight but I'm sure an extension would've been granted if they had been negotiating in good faith.
The harsh reality for GGG is that he does not have a natural market in the U.S. no matter how much he talks about Mexican style and how many sombreros he wears. Canelo had to suck it up when he fought Mayweather and then Cotto because Floyd and Miguel had the better bargaining position and they both drove a hard bargain. Canelo fought them anyway knowing it would help him in the long run. All this goes out the window if crazy Chavez Jr. beats Canelo. Then the big money is in the rematch and GGG is once again on the outside looking in.

If Alvarez was fighting 170-175, he'll likely be about that on fight night.
Andre Ward was a super middleweight fighter at the age of 29; once could argue that he was a big super middleweight. He's moved up to light heavyweight, and his body has filled in some, but he's not some massive 175lber now.
Saul Alvarez is already 26 years old; in terms of his body, unless he puts himself through a deliberate bulk, he's likely as heavy as he's going to get. Alvarez is going to fight on fight night, whether it's at 154, 160, or 168lbs, in that 170-175lbs range.

In case you have not noticed, GGG's is not much of a draw and it is not going to get better for him. He desperately needs a fight with Canelo to try to grab the attention of the people and slow down his rapid decline.

I would love to see Nelo fight on a none Mexican holiday weekend. The GGG fight will do great numbers. No serious promotion needed. It's time for Nelo to fight real contenders. I would like to see him fight the Charlo brothers, Lara, Jacobs, David Lemieux, Chris Eubank Jr, Billy Joe and Demetrius Andrade. All great fights at 154 and 160. First... We need the Triple G fight in September.

You will also find a significant body of opinion that the reasons for the change were much more to with money than fighter safety, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Just giving my opinion though, man. You gotta make your own mind up.
