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

[BestPR]

CROOKS IN SUITS!!! From the WBC to Golden Boy Promotions...Crooks!!!

Fight would have no need to be saved if Canelo hadn’t eaten that carne especial.

Ca$hnelo does what he wants.

PERIOD.

CUCKnaddy will bend to Ca$h will and get outboxed AGAIN - with possibility of KD or late stoppage - into retirement.

Hey at least Ca$h offering a nice payday along the way.... XD XD XD

He did a million with Chavez Jr.

Yes. But as I said, other than GGG who else is out there that will get Canelo another 1 million dollar ppv buys?

[yankees7448]

Let's be clear, HBO put up **** money because K2 was looking for a soft touch. Mungai accepted the money but no commission was going to sanction that fight.

HBO offered what they offered and GGG's team could only pick who they could afford.

Now I'm all for asking for more and making as much as you possibly can. However, do you reasonably think that GBP is going to go above 35%. I mean sure you ask for 50% and hope for 40%, but at this point, what is reasonable?

If Golden Boy is going to nickle and dime GGG then its their fault the fight won't happen.

[yankees7448]

and for that help is is getting 35% which = what 15million plus for GGG, thats his compensensation, GGG makes maybe 1-2 million without canelo perfight.

If Canelo and his team aren't willing to budge then they are the reason the fight isn't happening. I think GGG's team is trying to play hardball to get a better percentage. Maybe they are willing to take 40%. But if Golden Boy is holding firm at 35% then its on them. For the amount of PPVs GGG helped them sell and all the money GGG lost out on for the May fight they shouldn't be so stubborn. Make the fight.

You didn't answer the question. You deflected with the nickel and dime statement. 15% of a Alvarez fight's revenue isn't a nickel and dime situation. So again, what's reasonable? What makes 35% unreasonable given that GGG received 30% for the first fight? Alvarez does not owe GGG money to make up for money GGG didn't make off Alvarez in May. That's not how it works. If GGG didn't fight at all due to a last minute cancellation, there would be some argument that GGG lost an opportunity for revenue. If the prior contract had a purse guarantee, there would be some argument. However, those two circumstances don't exist.

dont blame me, even his own promoter had agreed to the 35 pct, canelo team gave into gggs demands and weeks later ggg priced out when promoters were almost ready to start the promotion...

Not blaming you AT ALL man, but how can some of y’all defend GBP and their bullsh-it?

Dude, I did NOT condone and cheer on GGG when he fought Vanes and I believe I commented just that at the time....i don’t like it when ANY boxer and/or their promotional team try to pull the wool over our eyes, Fuck that!

Old Terms.. Gomez said it... What GBP will lose out on are big paydays and a way of avoiding the dangerous young guns. My feeling is that Tom Leoffler will blink first and go with 40%

[yankees7448]

You didn't answer the question. You deflected with the nickel and dime statement. 15% of a Alvarez fight's revenue isn't a nickel and dime situation.

But neither is the difference between revenues for ppv fights that sell only 400k and one that sells well over a million ppvs. Canelo should be thankful for that.

So again, what's reasonable? What makes 35% unreasonable given that GGG received 30% for the first fight?

Well GGG was Canelo's biggest PPV fight for when Canelo was the PPV A-side for one thing. For another thing, Canelo pissed hot and it pissed away the May 5th rematch and a lot of GGG's money. For one last thing, the animosty and the controversy can only make the September fight bigger. You don't strike while the iron is hot and people's interest wanes. So Canelo needs to bend to make this happen.

Alvarez does not owe GGG money to make up for money GGG didn't make off Alvarez in May. That's not how it works.

He doesn't. But he cost GGG money and GGG wants more. Justifiable position as well.

If GGG didn't fight at all due to a last minute cancellation, there would be some argument that GGG lost an opportunity for revenue.

Horse*****. He fought a no-name fighter for comparative chump change so that he didn't waste a training camp and could stay on schedule for a possible September date with Canelo. Had Canelo not ****ed up the fight on such short notice a more high profile replacement fight might have been made.
