I mean, for ****s sake. The guy who you're treating like a reliable source is the same a$$hole who whined about the Mayweather/McGregor fight being bad for boxing even though video exists of him eagerly talking about matching up Conor with Canelo.

Why didn't Golovkins team deny the claims, if they weren't true?
Golovkin also said he'd be willing to fight Canelo at a CW in the past but then changed his mind.
It wasn't DLH that revealed the 15 mil offer it was the vice president of Goldenboy.

Secondly, you are pointing out this tidbit to justify Golden Boy not taking a fight and yet criticizing GGG for not taking a fight because his side didn't like the terms. This is what is commonly referred to as a double standard. Hold everyone to the same standard or shut the **** up.
Because maybe some people don't like to play he said she said in the media. Calling the promoter of the fighter who may bring your own fighter the biggest and most high profile fight he could possibly get at this point in his career full of ***** in public is not a very good negotiating tactic.
I dunno. Maybe circumstances have changed.I.E: An older fighter may not have the ability to drop down in weight without adversely affecting his abilities whereas a fighter who is a little younger is affected less.
But this is all deflection. The fact is there was an offer there before Golovkin fought Jacobs. If Golovkin would have accepted the fight would have still happened regardless of if he had KO'd Jacobs or not.

Didn't he say that with Brook too then he denied it after? Seems to be a pattern with GGG when he looks like áss.
Truth is .. you have to find a reason to shit on GGG for every damn thing he says or does, and if you can't find a reason, you just pull one out of your arse.Last edited by kafkod; 09-08-2017, 04:16 PM.

Originally posted by Robbie Barrett View PostNot a double standard. Golovkin didn't deserve 45%. Everyone knows that. 5x your highest pay day is a great offer. Can you name any other fighter that turned down 5x their highest pay day?

GGG's entitlement would have been the same as a regular mandatory challenger.
The WBC amended their rules on purse bid splits again in 2016.
http://www.boxingscene.com/wbc-annou...esults--101763
10% held in escrow to be paid to the winner. 70% of the remainder to the champ and 30% to the mandatory challenger
GGG would only have got 45% of the purse if the council, by a majority vote, decided that he deserved it.
So far as I know, that didn't happen. If anybody has evidence that it did happen, please post it here.

I posted links with Sulaiman himself saying the split is 55-45 for interim vs champion and you still chose to ignore it.
You're a ******ed liar.
