Hopefully, he wakes up before the dream is over. I have to hope he's smarter than this, for himself and for the fans.



Rooskie is a mild term at the very most. As a matter of fact, comedy shows back in the 60s used to call them that as a joke. Facts are above, what I originally stated. GGG isn't Einstein if he passes this once-in-a-lifetime treasure chest by. Go play your deflectorama elsewhere, friend. LOL!!!

You learn racial sensitivities from the 60s TV shows? Do you specify the race of a fighter in your every post? Is it essential to you? You said LOL at the end. What was so funny? Was that a nervous laughter?

Lighten up bubba. In case you hadn't noticed lately, Americans aren't so fond of Russia these days after they feked with our prez election. But hey, keep making a big deal over nuthin' much, friend. I call that deflectorama. And no, I'm not even remotely nervous.

Canelo's PPV drawing power is being severely overrated. When he's not facing a big name like Cotto, Mayweather, GGG, or even a Chavez he struggled to do over 500K. He did less than 500K vs. Liam Smith, Lara and Khan. There's no reason to suggest that he can even approach the 1.3M buys that he had against Golovkin, should he face Charlo, Jacobs or O'Sullivan. His drawing power is greater than Golovkin's, but he's also not going to be making $20 or $40M, as Oscar suggests, without Golovkin either.

If they want to make the most money, they should fight each other in September.

Also, the idea that Oscar is going to put in Canelo in with a Jacobs or a Charlo, before he faces Golovkin, is laughable too. Even Ellerbe called him out on it. They're going to be facing Spike next.

Lol, see what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you?

Now you can’t be a “real Russian hero”, like the guy in the Armageddon movie man.

I would’ve fought canelo with or without the testing for
10Mil or so...

[Diego Rodriguez]

10% more is high side and where you would start. I'd say if last fight was 40/60% then 45/55% is fair. DLH could probably even get them to 43/57%. It all comes down to how much does Canelo want to make the fight and how much more does Golovkin want. I think 45/55 is about right.

Why Canelo should fight:

1) He needs some redemption for his his dirty test, he doesn't fight Golovkin it hurts his prestige
2) Most people thought he lost the first fight
3) This is the biggest payday he can make


Why Golovkin should make the fight
1) Chance to show what he can do against a clean Canelo
2) There is no bigger pay day for him, by far

Both guys have a financial reason to make the fight happen. Canelo will lose money in short and possibly long term. Golovkin will clearly as well. From a reputation and historical perspective Canelo has more to lose.

[Diego Rodriguez]

Lol Spike's name is just randomly tossed on top of the pile as if he belongs. If Canelo picks him that's just as bad as GGG fighting Vanes. and if Canelo fans support and buy PPV's from a Spike fight they really are suckers.

No it is much worse than fighting Vanes. He has more than 3 months to pick an opponent not less than 30 days.

[Diego Rodriguez]

Yeah, makes sense. GGG was not afraid of canelo a month ago, but is afraid now. What changed that made him so afraid? Probably Vanes showed GGG how much in decline he actually is. Oscar would have more credibility if he didnt come up with ****** shlt like this.

He is a coke head boxer who is in his late forties. And he has other weird sht going on.

I agree and it has likely deteriorated further over the last year.

This is all speculation and talk. Give us 3 things or dont talk about it at all.

1. Purse split for first fight.
2. Purse split on the signed contract for the rematch
3. Purse split GGG is now asking for


Otherwise all talk and speculation.

Okay I stand corrected about the age thing. The author of the article was saying that Oscar is following Mayweather’s playbook and I was simply agreeing with it. Mayweather despite his age is on an entirely different level than Canelo. But you’re right. My comparison concerning Floyd and Manny’s age was not accurate. I guess I got fired up when I read the article 😳

Fair enough. Yes Mayweather is on a whole different level than any fighter in our generation. To be able to accomplish what he has at his age is unbelievable. That's why he's the best of our generation. And I'm not even a Mayweather fan but I gotta keep it real
