Canelo got over 700k ppvs for both Khan and JCC Jr.

G got 97,000 with Pepe LePew and tickets for his last fight could be bought with EBT cards.

G obviously does not want this fight. He does not want a rematch with Jacobs either. He already declined a fight with BSJ when BSJ demanded the fight be paid for with real money and not EBT cards. He refused to fight a bum prospect with 12 pro fights. So he could fight a retired Jr. Middleweight. He refused to face Ward to fight Wade. WADE!!!! He said no to Andrade. He has treated Lara like Lara has leprosy. He refuses to even consider Charlo. How this guy has any fans outside or Boratville, any at all, blows my mind. This guy is the definition of a cherry picker. Of everything all champs should never be. He can make a fight with Wade, Brook, and Vanes in a single day. Yet, he accepted step aside money from Cotto, let Canelo fight Khan, never made an offer to Maravilla, and said no to BSJ. All G wants is to be able to pocket close to a million for ko'ing some guy from a food pantry line. That is why tickets for g fights can be bought with EBT cards. So all potential opponents can scout him.

Canelo can't break 1 million buys without a good dance partner aka Golovkin. GoldenBoy should give him at least a 60-40 split if not the 50-50 split. Golovkin's demands are justified. He was cheated out of their first fight and Canelo messed up their rematch. But we know who the divas here are. GGG is the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO champion, one of the top p4p fighters in the world and the best at middleweight, and you can't give him more money for messing up his plans this past Cinco de Mayo?

GoldenBoy once again is ducking the boogemany Golovkin. I wish I could say I'm surprised by their unwillingness to fight GGG.

for a fighter uncapable of selling more than 170k ppvs 50-50 is delusional, he is pricing out plain and simple...

I swear you fanboys are spin doctors. The boogie man can fight his mandos. I don't want to hear anyone talk about he is avoided because that isn't the case. Canelo isn't ranked so why does it matter if they fight or not. You know whats funny, people talk about GGG the all time great, P4P, best MW ever but GGG resume isn't even better than Chris Eubank Jr. Can't make this stuff up...

50/50? Wtf are they smoking

[GhostofDempsey]

So all of you who think GGG is worth less than 35%....yet feel that Wilder is worth more than 20%, explain?

Wilder said 50 million AJ? Now, you explain.

When did GGG even come close to 400K buys outside of Pednelo??? You can use any legit site you want to prove me wrong. You think Canelo would have to go from Vegas to Cali for a sht fight???

This is why i need to go out of my way for new accounts??? Waste of my time. And CLEARLY you wont honor your bets.

Are you even responding to my post? When did I say GGG did close to 400k? All I did was point out your bias in picking different sources for PPV numbers to make the discrepancy larger in favor of Canelo and comparing Canelo vs a named fighter to GGG vs a non-named fighter for PPV numbers.

When you actually keep the sources consistent and compare GGG vs a no name to Canelo vs a no name, you'll see Canelo performs at a 2 to 1 ratio in PPV buys vs GGG. No doubt inflated by an extra boost from Mexican holidays which is why he only fights twice a year but I digress. Either way, about 35% makes sense. Furthermore, GGG has 3 world belts and his PPV with Canelo did better numbers than Chavez, giving GGG some leverage in total purse...So no matter how you look at it, numbers don't lie, he can make a very good case for 35% - 40%. But, like I said, I think 50 is too high.

And to what are you referring to with bets and new accounts? I've no idea what you're talking about. I did bet someone before on this fight, not sure if that was you, and it was a draw though most people said GGG won and the results were spoiled by that ridiculous 110-118 card. I'll let you take that for what it is.

GGG does not deserve a 50-50 split, and I am a huge fan of his. 60-40 to Canelo is the most reasonable split in this fight.

How is it not 50/50? the last fight was a draw (hmmm win for GGG but nevermind)
