Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter: Canelo Wants 65-35, We Want Fair 50-50 Split!

Tom is in over his head.

I agree! both should move on. Canelo can go back to his $20,000,000 fights and GGG his $1 million Vanes fights. At least this way I wknt have deal with his POS fans talking crazy nonsense talk.

you know ggg will make more than a mil for his next fight and Canelo won't make 20. He didn't make 20 vs the 1 mil ppv buy fight with Chavez jr, so you know he won't make that vs a charlo, jacobs or saunders who won't generate 1 mil buys. Not sure why fans always like to brag about a fighters pay day as if they get a cut of it.

Not surprised that the Russian bum is terrified of if the king. 50/50 split? Yet the bum couldn’t sell out the stub hub. FOH.

Why bring race? Racist? GGG a bum? You deaf and blind?

[rrayvez]

Ok, that is a 40% max gift.

I thought you were going to come up with some craziness about GGG taking over Cinco de Mayo, multiple belts....

no, the belts and fight date is irrelevant. I think based. In the inconvenience of what Canelo caused and was 100 % responsible for, ggg does deserve an extra cut from what he was supposed to have gotten in May. Not 50% though.

I know Canelo is more the PPV attraction but GGG does have the belts and he only got 30 % for the first fight and he got screwed on the rematch. 50/50 sounds fair especially since Cotto got paid more than GGG and the fight with GGG did more buyrates. With all the bs that has happened lately between these this would increase the buyrates and even at 50/50 Canelo will still get more than the first fight .

This is not a charity lol they running a business like you said canelo is the bigger ppv attraction so he is paid more accordingly nothing else matters. And GGG is not Cotto. Cotto had a decade worth of large ppv numbers without canelo. GGG has 2 ppv flops without canelo he doesn't have the same leverage cotto did. And canelo years ago pre cotto win is not the same draw he is today. He just sold 1m ppv buys last year without a floyd, cotto, GGG opponent. Sold more against chavez then he did with cotto. Nobody is dumb enough to think thats because chavez is a bigger draw then cotto yet idiots now think this means GGG is a bigger draw then cotto? LMAO

This is like someone saying to floyd well I know how much you made against gatti and I want the same money gatti got because I sold more the floyd/gatti. LMAO Floyd became a star after gatti and nobody got even 50% to fight floyd from then on with the lone exception being Oscar and that's because Oscar was at the time a bigger draw with bigger ppv numbers. Everyone else not named oscar had to give floyd the lion share he demanded if they wanted the fight. Canelo is now at a level where nobody is getting 50% unless you bring bigger ppv numbers then him to the table. GGG has no numbers he can point to that are on canelo's level. Canelo is by far the biggest draw in boxing unless floyd comes out of retirement. He is ducking and pricing himself out and nobody hands out 50% just because you need to prove you bringing in 50% of the revenue and clearly GGG isn't couldn't even sell out stubhub his last fight and his fight before canelo with Jacobs only sold 150K canelo last fight before GGG sold 1M ppv buys.

[rrayvez]

Probably right but Spike is the harder fight.

real cute how you switched off where I wrote saunders and put Sadam Ali. Chances are, ggg will end up with a more credible opponent than Canelo will. That's just been the golden boy way for the past 3 yrs when it comes to the only big name fighter in their stable.

[Buckfever]

I don't anyone can think that Golovkin brings 50%. And whether you like him or not the risk reward makes no sense for Canelo.

[bigdunny1]

GGG's problem is that Canelo would be just fine making 65% fighting Saunders, Jacobs, or Spike! It's still significantly more than what GGG can make fighting Dervy! GGG needs to be talking to Arum, and see how big a fight vs. Murata would be. GGG has to prove he can be a draw WITHOUT Canelo, the way Canelo can be a draw WITHOUT GGG! GGG already knows he won't make much for Dervy, or he would've fought him instead of Vanes!

He can go fight murata across the globe but that will cost him his IBF and maybe his WBC as well. IBF mandatory is owed he just defended the WBA against jacobs, WBC is next after IBF so he has to fight charlo after dervy before he is allowed to fight murata and I'm not sure he even makes it past those 2 guys high risk low reward fights and even if he does he makes more in Sept against canelo then he does dervy, charlo, murata combined. And any loss along the way that pay day is gone.

[Graz]

If anything 50/50 is generous to Alvarez. The arrogance of thinking you’re still the a side with the disgrace of a drugs ban hanging over you is unbelievable. A fight with Golovkin at this point is a chance for Alvarez to redeem himself, anything else he’s getting aside from that is like charity.

You are 100% on the money sir. Canelo given his past Pedformance is lucky to get 50:50.

[TheCell8]

Unless they're trying to negotiate a better deal, maybe a 60-40 instead, I can't defend this. As Andreas hale said, Canelo has time on his side especially since he has no belts or obligations to fight mandatory challengers. Golovkin doesn't.

It's Loeffler's job to get a better deal, but this is overplaying your hand.
