Canelo vs GGG purse negotiation idea

[Chuckguy]

Alright, so Canelo wants 65/35
His way. Gennady wants 50/50. We all know Canelo is the bigger draw, though he did eff up their May fight, with or without meaning too.
I think they should make a compromise of
Canelo guaranteed 40%
GGG guaranteed 35%
And the winner of the fight.....
Gets the remaining 25%. That would be true prize fighting. If something happens, possibly a draw, then they each get 12.5% of the remainder.
Comment and discuss what you think about the purse split.
I’m not a huge fan of Canelo, but let’s not bash either... fairly discuss the purse please Gentleman

That’s just too good to be true ans way too simple
That’s a real way to have them fight for a reason

I agree that they are already trying, but in all fairness they both think they will win the rematch....why not financially back up the bravado and get the fight signed sealed and delivered

The WBC did something similar with the purse bid from Wilder-Povetkin. They set aside a percentage for the winner

[Pago007]

I say 60-30 Canelo.
Winner gets extra 10%.
If a draw Canelo gets 7% the other 3% goes 2 GGG

Too bad that fight didn’t play out. Would’ve been a good example for future reference or use. Agree?

This would make more sense all around with the realities of how our sport works & to not f#ck over the draw.

Its just what % should the bigger draw get vs the lesser draw. Then how much is the % they are fighting for.

I think you could come up with some rough draft on what % a guy should get based upon SM followers, past PPV buys & past ratings among maybe a couple other metrics.

Naw, I just don't like the idea of fighters having to win to get more money. Obviously the money is already there so just split it up. And it implies the fighter wouldn't fight as hard if there wasn't a monetary gain from winning. There is already a monetary gain if you win. You go on to get bigger fights and bigger paydays
