      How much is the advantage of fighting at home worth though? Canelo may pay a bit more, but the home advantage would take it closer to even.

        It would depend. Fight Golovkin first and win, negotiate a fair split with Canelo. Fight Canelo first, get screwed on the split.

            He will never fight Canelo. That fight can't happen in the UK and nobody in America gives a crap about Silly Ho.

            Golovkin would come to the UK so it's possible but if i was GGG i wouldn't bother. Saunders is trash and is hanging onto the belt fighting GGG's left-overs. That's no way to earn a shot at the main-man.

              Canelo in vegas obviously.

              I also don't really believe he's injured. This is classic frank warren. This guy cancels more shows than anyone ever. He booked the O2 for BJS vs Murray and probably was struggling to sell tickets.

                Seems like HBO were pretty high on BJS and the fight was talked about on all kinds of shows incl . first take etc.

                The moment Lemeiux missed widely and BJS looked into the crowd went viral..

                I'd say his profile is good in the states.

                  I believe Okolie/Chamberlain outsold this fight. That shows where BJS is in the food chain.

                    Sure that was a good JPEG but he's barely known in the UK let alone the States.

                    Canelo sells against ANYONE but BJS would be a horrible fight and BJS will likely demand more money than Golden Boy are willing to pay.

                    Canelo v Jacobs/Charlo is a lot more likely IMO and a much better fight stylistically.

                      No way Canelo fights a live dog like Jacobs or Charo if GGG fights Saunders. Canelo will fight a patsy and then set up the winner of GGG/Saunders for Cinco de Mayo.
