First monster payday? He gave Chavez Jr. a token percentage and flat fee and the fight did over a million PPV buys. He may not make as much in this fight as he had to pay BBB side more than his average opponent. Although BBB sides team made sure the contract terms weren't released so we don't know how much they got or didn't get.

Canelo is Canelo with or without Golovkin. That is a FACT.
Golovkin needs Canelo, not the other way around.
Canelo has the biggest following in boxing after Floyd Mayweather. That is a FACT. (Maybe the arguement can be made for Pacquiao but at this point...)
My point is, anything Canelo related people try to attach Golovkin to it. Canelo is his own man, a superstar, the immediate future of the sport in terms of attraction.
I'm not saying that beating Golovkin doesn't improve Canelo's status and possibly his following too, I'm just saying people spew nonsense about Golovkin as if he REALLY impacts the perception of Canelo in the eyes of the people who actually buy ppv's, which are the casuals. Casuals don't even know who the **** Golovkin is until he became Canelo's opponent.

Some of the best fighters in the sport have lost. Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Ali, Robinson, Lennox.

And i CAN see Canelo retiring early. He has earned a decent amount of money and has had a lot of fights already at a young age. Another few big fights and maybe he does retire. He doesnt owe anybody anything and who knows, maybe he feels some wear and tear on his body? Nobody knows but him
