GBP lost the IBF over $1.5 mil lol

Yeah the business of boxing depends on making fights. Golovkin gave Jacobs who was the manditory 40% of the purse in order to get it done.

And??? That's Triple g. Your comparing apples and oranges Man...

There is no apple and oranges comparison. G wanted the fight done so they opened up their wallet.
Canelo wanted the Golovkin fight done and in that instance they budged on the final purse split. In this case they say they wanted the fight but wouldn't meet the opponent's demands. IBF manditory
challengers are entitled to 35% of the purse which is a fair payout.

Well I can tell you wouldn't cut it as a manager..
You really think Sergey is gonna make $5 million dollars or more against his next opponent??

[Thraxox]

**** derevyachenko and his team. Who do they think they are wanting 7 mil. 5.5 is more than enough. Let alone 7mil.

Lou DiBella wanted $7 million for SD

GBP said $5.5 million, take it or leave it.

Lou DiBella and SD left it and now get a shot at the IBF anyway.

Yes all of this was over $1.5 million bucks. GBP have to be the biggest idiots in the world.

Oscar got owned.

Wow this thread must be full of nuthuggers. Boxers put their lives on the line for our entertainment it is PRIZEFIGHTING is it not? GBP dropped the ball when it came to properly representing Canelo. They didn't file or make a case to fight someone else nor did they file for a extension. On top of that the IBF has a rule where mandatories get 35% of the purse. Which is fair considering they have to fight for peanuts most of their lives just to get a shot. Sergey can't help it just happened to be against Canelo whose team got outmaneuvered by Sergeys team. If Canelo feels hes above the rules of the IBFs sanctioning body he should of dropped the belt. The IBFs just trying to give their mandos a fair shake.

How does SD turn down 5M!?!? I don’t see how he can make more than that vs anyone else.

[stealthradon]

I think SD should pay 7.5 million to fight Canelo. He's just greedy and doesn't want to fight Canelo. Canelo doesn't need the money or the belts, he's already rich enough.

IBF rules say 50/50 split with GGG.

Derevyanchenko and his team were not negotiating in good faith. A mandatory should be removed of his ranking/position if he and his team do not negotiate in good faith and do not accept reasonable monetary offers from the champion If the #1 raked contender declines all reasonable offers and makes unreasonable monetary requests then he shoud be removed from his ranking.

Canelo and GB offered reasonable terms most would say amounts of money so large that the economics of the fight no longer made sense. $5.5 millions or 12x what Derevyanchenko made against Jacobs (the biggest fight he had ever been in) is more than reasonable. Derevyanchenko declining that amount was unreasonable and shows he and his team were negotiating in bad faith.
