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

[Scipio2009]

Eerrmmm. Who was responsible for the cancelled fight?

Golovkin had a path that he could've taken, and he and his camp refused.

[N/A]

Golovkin went ahead and fought Vanes Martirosyan, when he could've simply settled the mandatory then; Canelo's unlikely to pay for that, imo

You may be right. My argument isn't whether Canelo should budge or not. My argument is simply that clearly GGG deserves at least 35% if Canelo is not only willing to give 35% but is pretty much publicly begging for GGG to take 35%.

He is being offered 35%. The 30% was in the first fight.

What has changed? I knew you had a below average IQ, but not that low.

Keywords:
Clenbuterol
2 failed tests
Canelo cancelled fight.

the question was.....

what happened that could possibly make a difference to the split ?

purse splits are divided based on drawing power

so..... what changed ?

are you pacifist golov-fans running with yet another bullshyt excuse ?

[aboutfkntime]

And since then, Canelo failed a drug test, causing GGG to lose the IBF title if he fights Canelo. So GGG wants to be compensated for that.




What they've "made clear" and what is actually true are often two very different things. Only time will tell whether Canelo would budge at all to save the fight. Obviously 50/50 is ludicrous. That strong of a stance indicates to me that 60/40 is GGG's goal. Too soon to know if his tactics will work, but Team Canelo's tactics show that they are nervous, so I personally believe they would budge slightly to get the fight done.

how do you say " hard luck cvnt " in Mexican ?

[aboutfkntime]

I like GGG but when you're not pulling in 50% of the revenue, you're not worthy of 50%.

you cannot get more simpler, or more obvious, than that


" ggg wants to be compensated "

Golovkin vs. Alvarez:

So the Triple-G-Canelo rematch is supposedly in jeopardy.

And, of course, the trouble is money-related. Alvarez reportedly wants a 65 percent-to-35 percent split of the purse while Golovkin wants it divided evenly for the proposed superfight targeted for September 15.

They both have their arguments and they both have reasons to compromise, which is probably what will happen.

Golovkin points out that he’s the titleholder (IBF, IBO WBA and WBC), he won the first fight in the court of public opinion and Alvarez screwed up the original rematch – set for May 5 – by testing positive for Clenbuterol.

Also working in Triple-G’s favor is the damage to Alvarez’s reputation after the failed drug test, which some believe can only start to be remedied by facing Golovkin again.

All of that is true but none of it carries much weight.

Golovkin is the titleholder: Who cares? Titles aren’t as important as many believe they are. He deserved the nod in the first fight: So what? It was officially a draw. The original rematch was scuttled because of Alvarez: ancient history.

The most compelling reason for Alvarez to compromise with Golovkin relates to his reputation: Taking the toughest fight possible would send a strong, positive message to any fans he has alienated.

Even that argument has its limitations, though. Purse splits are divided based on drawing power. And the fact remains that Alvarez is a bigger draw than Golovkin, regardless of what happened in the first fight and the drug test.

Alvarez fans will pay to see him – no matter what. No one bargains from a stronger position.

Plus, Golovkin needs Alvarez more than vice versa from a business standpoint. The Kazakhstani can make $30 million or more for a rematch with Alvarez, far more than he could make against anyone else.

So if Golovkin is as smart as I think he is, he’ll put aside this notion of a 50-50 split – which he knows isn’t realistic – and try to convince Alvarez to accept a compromise, somewhere around 60-40 in favor of Alvarez. That’s better than the 70-30 split of the first fight.

If that doesn’t work for Golovkin, Alvarez has other options that will generate very good money. Daniel Jacobs? Jermall Charlo? Billy Joe Saunders? And assuming Alvarez continues to win, his recent issues will begin to recede into the past.
