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

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.

So what do you think it's fair then? How much you think Triple g should get? It's at 65/35 in Canelo's favor right now.

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.

Exactly right. This is either Canelo still acting like a little spoiled brat and/or a pricing out job.

There is nothing good or positive about Canelo and GBP in all this. Nothing. It baffles me that they have people that claim to be fans of the sport still defending them. You can’t be a true fan of boxing and try and support their BS.

55-45 in favor of Canelo should be the split.

Those saying Golovkin accepted the 65-35 split the last fight is irrelevant.

Honestly, Golovkin should just face his mandatory and then take a big payday with Murata. Everyone knows Canelo lost the first fight and everyone knows he ruined the rematch.

Why play games with a Team of Divas?

DONT listen to that foo rayveZ, regardless of what anyone says... this rematch, due to all the hoopla, is now a bigger fight. If anything, canelo is the one who made the fight bigger by eating them bomb tacos lol. It’s still a percentage split. So canelo makes the fight bigger, he should demand more! Did ggg make the fight bigger by beating vanes?! No! So phuck ggg he can take it or leave it

What are you talking about? GGG is the champ chasing a guy not even ranked currently. Why don't you want GGG to fight his Mando? That's what real fans want not some Champ begging and crying because someone wont give him money. He should move on.

If you were ok with him fighting Vanes for no damn reason, then fighting his Mandos should be great.

EVEN if you are right, you don’t know it to be a fact! If so, bet then! Accts you and me

I had already bet you accounts for the fight but your guy tested positive. You should delete your account by default.

I think 55-45 for canelo would be fair but he should even accept 60-40 if need be.

LMAO that’s what I thought.

Its funny how we all, with zero knowledge of what's going on behind doors and what rationale is being used, are so comfortable with deciding how much money a fighter should be making

But anyway.. we seem to be focused a bit too much on GGG while leaving Canelo out of equation. Let's look at this from imaginary Canelo's perspective. First of all, nobody in the MW division is going to help him generate as much PPV and money as GGG. Especially with the bad blood, cancelled fight and PEDs. He will make much more than GGG would without Canelo in any event, but still not as much as with GGG. This difference gives more bargaining power to GGG, but it should also allow Canelo to compromise more.

Here is what I don't get. Canelo believes he won the first fight. He believes he can beat him. Why not sacrifice this 10-15% for the legacy and even greater future profits? If Canelo beats GGG, he is one step away from becoming an undisputed champion in the MW division. And, let's be honest, BJS will sell that belt probably without a fight. And, further, is anyone here who really thinks BJS is going to beat Canelo? In 2019 Canelo, if he makes this sacrifice, can become the undisputed. He does not need to painstakingly collect belts one after another like GGG did. No, its all there lined up for him ready for a grab. And once he's become undisputed, coupled with his already massive PPV power, he will be able to command any split he wants because at that point Mayweather would envy his leverage. He will not be the A side. He will become the Alpha and Omega of boxing. All it takes is cut short in one fight. And its not like he will starve doing this, right?..

Unless, of course, he does not have the confidence to beat him. Then none of the above matters. And I can understand how demotivating it must be: landing your best shots practically flush and a second later your opponent is still in your face trying to pulverize you.

If I had to sacrifice something for a real chance to grab something I never had and most only dream of, I'd do it. Why wouldn't Canelo? A "face of boxing" with no belts (and with no ambition to have them) and PED reputation. What a face that is.
