Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Why Canelo-Golovkin Deal Was Not Complicated

Yeah it's easy to make the fight when you actually want to make the fight. Oscar didn't really want to make this fight until he saw ggg vs jacobs so he would come up with hurdle after hurdle to make it seem like they wanted the fight in order to preserve the fan base. Now he feels the time is right so that's why all of a sudden it became an easy fight to make.

i thought it was hard to negotiate because ggg thinks he's a big star?? i'm in love with the coco...

Or Loeffler finally quit asking for at LEAST 40% of everything...And realized his 175k PPV buys ain't SHT compared to Canelos. Ohhh who sold more than 1,000,000 for the Chavez fight.

True, but did you watch those fights? The bigger the PPV the more boring the fight is... Mayweather-Pacquiao, need I say more?

P.S. - If you missed Chocolatito-Rungvisai live, I'm sorry.

How do you know Lloefler asked for at least 40% of the purse?

Oscar was right. He said last year there would be no negotiation. They will make a take it or leave it offer. BBB side and his team rushed in to make the fight before the Canelo/Chavez Jr numbers came out or hey would have cost themselves big time. A side makes the offer when it's in his best interests to make the fight and not a second sooner.

[Tomjas]

Now I'm really confused

Should I listen to major promoters like Oscar and Hearn who both say that it was easy to make a major fight with K2

or

should I give credibility to the resident NSB dimwits who claim that K2 is impossible to deal with?

LMFAO

Damn, you're going to be salty when you hear what he ended up getting. When all said and done it's going to be at least three times what people like you said GGG needed to settle for.

He does, he just pretends shot doesn't happen when he's wrong. GGG got far more than he's been contending he'll get, but this is NSB, so expect that.
