    Was GGG team demanding 50/50 a bargaining tactic?

    I thought this fight was dead but Oscar saying 50/50 is not possible but then says it's close and he hope it gets done, so is the fight still on?

    GGG just wants something better than 65/35 I assume.

      The way he's speaking, it sure sounds like they're just grinding out the last 5% or so, and that he expects it to happen. If it were not as far along, you'd hear more of the typical posturing and such. I think it might be coming together.

        Hard to be sure with Oscar's way of talking but saying they're very close and still in talks, I don't expect either side to walk away now if they genuinely are only 5% apart and have been negotiating for this long.

          You ask for more than you would settle for. That is just negotiating. GGG won't accept a 65/35 split be if Oscar offered him a 60/40 split in Canelo's favor we might see a rematch.

            In my opinion, 65-35 is totally unreasonable based on the history between these two. It really needs to be 50-50 but if Golden Girl moves to 55-45, I think Gennady should take it and knock cheatnelos block off, terminator style. I know Gennady has that in him and Oscar fears it.

              Its ludicrous Oscar keeps getting into weird public sexual situations & he's not the least bit embarrassed about this sh^t seemingly. I'd be "on vacation" & just letting Gomez run sh^t for the next 3 years if I was Oscar.

              Has any dude in the public sphere ever had multiple weird sexual situations that didn't get ostracized or self-ostracize themselves for some period of time after weird sexual sh^t like Oscar has been involved in for a 2nd time now?

              Or is Oscar some sorta hero now since he's the "victim" one could argue & is brave enough to keep showing his face after being ******ed by these evil gold diggers?

                Tend to agree. Too much money at stake for all parties. And this might be the last chance to make this fight & who wants to throw away a nice payday? Not none of these cats I'd argue.

                There's a murderers row lining up at 160 that might alter this whole division if they are as good as hyped. And GGG is 36 & burning daylight on his career.

                  I think they gave him tainted meat as a bargaining tactic

                    LMAO.

                    It's amazing how humanity works, isn't it? You do some weird **** and if you act weird, it's weird. But if you act like nothing's wrong, people just shrug it off.
