    The fans are Canelo's.

    If they each fought someone else, Canelo is getting paid more. If they both fought the same guy, lets call him fighter C, Canelo would sell more and thus get paid more than GGG.

    So when they fight each other, GGG doesnt get half of the pot. Thats life. GGG signed for 30-70 the first fight. Signed for 35-65 the second fight. Now he wants 50-50. Not happening. That Canelo gave him more for the rematch means Canelo really wanted the rematch. If GGG wants 40-60, as compensation for the delay, that would make sense. 50-50 isnt happening. If GGG doesnt want to sign, they can both go fight cab drivers, and guess what, Canelo will make more than GGG fighting cab drivers.

      GGG clearly won the first fight.... so yeah he should be rewarded. I understand the circumstances and Canelo's pull, so if I were GGG I'd take 60-40, with all the drug testing as a contingency. GGG was f-ed on the cards, but that's the way it goes in boxing.

        65-35% in favor of GGG is fair. Anything less is a disgusting injustice!!!!

          Uhh ok! Dude everyone knows standard numbers! 300k for a nobody! 600k for a known cherrypick! 900k for a risky fight! And 1.3 mill for a risky B side fighter!

              The hell's 'deserve' gotta do with anything? 60/40 seems about right to me though.

                Commercially no, morally yes.

                No option for what I think should happen, a compromise.

                  Canelo caused the delay! The offer on the on the table is not fair. Bump it up to 40-45.

                  Remember it was Canelo who tested positive Clenbuterol not GGG! So the original terms should not apply. I suspect someone is yellow!
