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

[BLACK KNOT]

You guys agreed to the deal when it was for May 5. If it was good enough then it should be good enough now.

that was before clenelo ***ed and tested positive you idiot. time for fishnets to cough up the dough!

[BLACK KNOT]

kinda dumb to compare splits between cotto and lilg....

how so? the ggg fight did better numbers than the joto ggg vs clenelo did well over 1 million buys while clenelo vs joto couldn't even crack 1 million. ggg should get paid accordingly

Again, which law was that? What part of the contract did he breach? Fights are canceled for many reasons and no one files suit. I wonder why? Perhaps because no law is actually broken and the escape clause that is typical of these contracts is ironclad. At a minimum, GGG would have to prove (not assert) willful negligence in a country that is known worldwide as having a widespread problem with tainted meat, as well as the intention to deprive GGG of income. Good luck with that. If a law were broken or if there were a rule infraction, you can bet that GGG and his lawyers would sue Canelo for tens of millions plus (you'll like this one) pain and suffering.

Suing does not involve a law being broken by the way. Proving willful negigance shouldn't be that hard. He knew local meat has a likleyhood of being tainted. He ate it anyway.

He didn't show up for the fight on May 5 due to negliance on his part.

That’s not how it works because Canelo didn’t stop GGG from “working” or earning money or from fighting on his date.

You can’t sue someone for YOU not making their kind of money.

He only makes that money if he fights Canelo. If he doesnt fight him he doesnt make that money. Simple.

They’re also offering him the same deal as before and he’s turning it down. Good luck on that lawsuit when you’re refusing the offer youre trying to sue for not having lmfao

Golovkin is not going to get a bigger split than that. That is absolutely, unequivocally, not how the world works.

golovkin could sue gbp for breach of contract possibly clenelo caused this whole mess by testing positive for a banned substance.

Canelo's drug test failures diminished his legitimacy and value. GGG is now the "A" side as a legitimate champion. Canelo will reap what he sewed. Without GGG his big money PPV fight are gone.

At what weight and where?
If catchweight and not in Ward's backyard, you believe he would be favourite?

Yes. No doubt. Is Vegas is backyard also??

[TonyGe]

I would but it's up to their team..

Hold it the contract is null and void because Canelo didn't live up to his part of the bargsin. In order to make a new fight a new contract has to be drawn up. It can be the same similar or vastly different if both parties agree to it. Both parties aren't agreeing to a new contract for their own reasons. Under the circumstances and because a precedent has already been set by Wilder, Golovkin has a good case if he decides to persue it. The thing is he can't say let's negotiate and if it fails we will sue. He has to do it now.

That Vanes fight was a complete waste of time. but lil g's fanboys didn't wanna hear that lol. He should've cancelled May 5th entirely and scheduled a fight with BJS for June. Only opponent that made sense May 5th was Derev because it'll free up GGG of any obligation. Now he's fcked.

And the fact that the Vanes fight barely sold out the Stubhub actually lowered GGG's value at the negotiating table. GBP can easily offer him less and cite the poor ticket sales of the Vanes fight.

lil g and Loeffler have no cards to play with. Canelo has a full deck. Suck it up and accept or move on with your career.

I been saying for years how stalking and begging Canelo for paydays was gonna ruin lil g's career. he has been Nelo's b*tch for almost four years now.

All I know is Nelo better not fight bum ass Spike.
