Comments Thread For: Golden Boy Prez: If GGG Takes Old Terms - Fight Can Be Saved

[yankees7448]

Unfortunately i think gbp is more than willing to shelf the fight for another year. If ggg can get 40% he should take the fight cuz realistically, he probably doesn't deserve any more than that.

Canelo's fight with GGG was his best selling fight in years. It outsold his fight with Cotto. It outsold his fight with Chavez Jr. It did way more than his fights with Liam Smith and Amir Khan combined. GGG deserves more than they are offering especially considering Canelo killed the rematch in May.

So GBP is not going to counter by offering 42% , 40% , or 37%?

Negotiate
1. obtain or bring about by discussion.
2. find a way over or through (an obstacle or difficult route).

One side is still negotiating, the other is saying take it or leave it. At least it's clear who walked away from this fight AGAIN.

Amen to that.

The rationale that GGG deserves more money because Canelo “messed up the original date” is ridiculously ******.

No it isn't. Canelo's cheating cost GGG a lot of money.

Especially when GGG went out and basically had a show that bombed.

They had less than a month to promote the fight. What are you talking about?

Had GGG opted to fight a creditable opponent on PPV and it had been a box office success, he’d have a leg to stand on.

WTF are you talking about. A fight with Danny Jacobs only generated 20k more PPVs than GGG's fight with Lemieux and they had months to promote the fight. There is no one out there outside of Canelo that would have sold any PPVs in a fight with GGG especially with so little time to promote the card.

Ggg turning down $24.5 million. Unbelievable.

... in the initial contract (2017), Golovkin had no "rematch clause"... therefore...

[P4Pdunny]

Canelo's lost fans, respect with the cheating, why should GGG agree to the old terms? Are GB really this deluded or do they just say stuff

Didnt Liam Smith out sale BOTH GGG ppv fights alone?

I say let Canelo fight spike and see where his numbers come in at, I think he will take a fair hit in his popularity, GGG can get his mando done and then fight for the last belt in England, GGG needs to fight more often as he did previously, once Canelo fights spike, he will be expected to fight a big name, all dangerous fights for not a great reward, EXCEPT FOR GOLOVKIN

[Shadoww702]

Hopefully GGG and his team walk away, he's wasted too much time negotiating and being messed around by Golden Boy. He needs to move on, there's plenty of big fights aside from Canelo at 160.

there are but GGG is too poor to pay them what they want. *** they couldn't even afford Spike O' Sullivan....
