Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin Rematch: Full Refunds Being Offered for Tickets

[davef]

Surely if enough refunds are issued oscar will cancel it rather than risk having only 4 or 3 weeks trying to regain buyers

GGG vs Saunders. 5 millions for GGG.
GGG vs Eubank jr. 3-4 millions.

Not the same than 15 millions against Canelo but it's something.

Where are you pulling these numbers from? Seriously, we really have zero idea how much any fighter actually really makes at the end of the day. What gets filed isn't including the other money, percentages, merchandise, tv rights,etc. Much like music, boxing's revenue stream is a lot wider than people think it really is.

Lol at all these salty mofos, canelo can take a year off and next year will be another golovkin begging for his payday

Just wondering when guys like you will hold Canelo accountable rather than prattling off about how his money this or his youth that. The irony is neither fighter actually has to fight for money at this point of their career...so why are you so worried about people's paydays? Guess what you and I will be doing in a few hours? Going to go put in hours..for a fck ton less money.

It was rumoured that GGG made at least 3 millions against Brook. I guess against Saunders he could make a bit more.

We've heard varying numbers on that. The only fighters I know actually make what is publicized are the dudes fighting for 25k or 50k at lighter weights. Between endorsements, appearances, merch, gate, etc these top guys take home considerable more money than what is listed with the commissions or even publicized.

I want it to happen because I want to see great boxing skills every opportunity, but should it happen....I'd agree there should be consequences for Canelo...maybe it should be similar to missing weight, no titles for the cheat if they win, financial impact, all that

I agree it should happen. GGG wants it Canelo wants it and so do the public.
He should get a huge fine and GGG get some of that money.
Alot of people really angry at Cleno for putting himself in this situation where the fight can be called of cause we all want to see the best fight of 2018 happen with a result.

I also reckon GGG belts shouldnt be put up for grabs for the winner, but that will never happen cause all the sanctioning bodies want some piece of this pie.

So wrong name one an opponent GGG has created good PPV numbers for? Channel will be just fine due to time length of failed tests and percentage . In addition this is his first offense. However his life will never be the same as opponents will request a series of tests. So many minimum wage haters in here. Based on GED like caliber responses.

I can hear the title of this article like some vendor in a stadium:

"Refunds!!! Get your full Refunds here!!! Refunds!!!"

I was wondering the status of this fight earlier today. If Dan Rafael is right, they keep inching closer and closer to cancelling it. Lot of interesting developments. But if he ends up found to have cheated, then rightfully so. Shout out to Canelo's hair and makeup team in the pic above. Looks like a toupee.

Spotted that hair too. It's the only time canelos looked Mexican like a ginger mikey garcia on ped with a elongated skull
