BREAKING: Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN on Tuesday that the company has issued unified middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin a firm deadline of 12 p.m. PT on Wednesday to accept the offer they have made for a rematch against Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 15 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Golovkin initially agreed to a 65-35 deal in Alvarez’s favor and then changed his mind and demanded 50-50. Golden Boy eventually relented and upped its offer to 60-40 with GGG countering at 55-45. Gomez said the final offer is a 57½-42½ split in Alvarez’s favor. Gomez said ff Golovkin walks away from the deal he will look to finalize a deal for Alvarez to face Daniel Jacobs on that date instead. “This is final,” Gomez said. “We’ve been through everything. We’ve been through the hoops, the monkey bars, the slides. No more playing games. He has until noon (PT) to accept or walk away. If he walks away, good luck to him.”
