Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter Explains GGG's Position: He Wants Fair Split!

[BDG]

Andre Ward won his Olympic gold medal at his walk-around weight of 171-173lbs; the moment he turned pro, he basically fought 9 of his first 10 fights at/near 160lbs, before then moving up.

Gennady Golovkin won his Olympic silver at middleweight (165lbs) at the age of 22, having competed at that top amateur level and at that weight since he was 20.

The man's been at the exact same weight for basically 16 years, including the stretch through the early to mid 20s where most normal folks physically fill out, and yet that's supposed to be seen as normal?

Bro, He doesn't care and will not answer your question, but will comeback with another outlandish question.

Bro , If Krusher had GGG's resume, I would hope he would move up. Hopefully, that really clears things up.

Krusher resume > GGG
Gabe Rosado= GGG
Willier Monroe Jr resume= GGG
Amir Khan resume > GGG
Sergio Martinez resume > GGG

Hell even Chavez Jr has a resume equal to or grater than GGG

This doesn't mean those are better fighters, it just means you are not getting any bread with that weak resume.

Fought all the highest rated in his division. Had people literally pay to not fight him.
Never fought a fighter over 35 in his championship career.

He also didn't spend that much money promoting it.

But again, who stands to lose the most if this deal doesn't go through.
Canelo has none else to fight. He can't stay at MW.

Canelo can fight Billy Joe Saunders for the WBO belt, split the pot 80/20 (with Saunders getting the British rights), and keep on keeping on.

He beats Saunders, and he can defend the WBO/lineal championships against Jacobs and Andrade without a worry.

After doing over 1m with Chavez Jr, all things considered, Alvarez is looking at an easy $30m+ per fight on each of those three fights.

Golovkin had to leave Las Vegas, and still couldn't even sell out 8000 seats in California without Alvarez.

Lol

GGG turning into a diva take what they offer u bum

I think you’re making assumptions. I’ve never stated ggg is a bigger draw, I’m just demonstating they both need each other to make the biggest purses possible. There’s a large disparity between canelo’s ppv buys depending on opponents. You’d have to be lying to your self that he himself draws in 1 million ppv buys regardless of his dance partner. Don’t make assumptions, you’ll just look silly.

Ok, so he doesn't do 1 million buys vs someone else. That means golovkin can go back to making 1 million per fight, while canelo still rakes in 5 million per fight at least. How much do you think Canelo would make vs Saunders ? Charlo has a big mouth, that would hype a fight... both of those would do well.

Floyd got something like 70% and Cotto got 55% (Alvarez got the Mexico money both times) but, outside of Chavez Jr and Amir Khan (thank Al Haymon), every other opponent can be signed for an Alvarez fight for less than 15% of the pot.

Golovkin wants 50% of the pot for the rematch, lol.

Dollars to dollars, Golovkin isn't a worlds' bigger draw on a fight than Daniel Jacobs is; Alvarez fighting Daniel Jacobs and keeping 70-75% of that pot in hand will get him more money than fighting Golovkin in a rematch and keeping only 50% of that pot.

[vitali1999]

As he should. He won the first fight regardless of what the judges scored and he's the undisputed middleweight champion not Canela.

[Scipio2009]

What is the maximum weight GGG could have gone to?

Golovkin was a top amateur fighter at the age of 20, fighting at 165lbs; there's no reason why Golovkin couldn't have fought 154/160/168 and been just fine size-wise, yet that hasn't happened.

Lol

Canelo can't fill up any stadiums, because he is banned.

Canelo can't fight Saunders, because he is a nobody outside of the states.
