    I say nope!

    Jacobs and Kovalev got $12 million.

    I’m not saying BJS and Smith have to get $12 million but there is a middle ground.

    I think $8 million would be fair.

    What say you. Is $6 million fair or not?

    I dont think bjs has made more than 1 million in his fights before on his last fight he made 750k Logan paul made more money than him and he is not even a real boxer he made 900k...if he got offered 6 million it's more than enough he will never make that amount again dont matter if he got the belt or not the guy cant sell

      Probably not. But I'll be happy with Lemieux taking the fight anyway if he manages to show up in-shape.

        Kovalev i can understand getting more, He’s a higher profile name, even if he was shot to bits.

        Jacobs, i’m not sure, but then he did fight GGG which probably brought his profile up.

        I think $6m is probably on the low side when you consider that it’s only half of what jacobs got, but where else are they going to make $6m and a chance to put themselves right at the top of the sport, if they believe they can win?

        Sometimes you have to forget what others made. $6m is a great payday for them when you consider what they usually earn, and a great opportunity that may not come again.

          Looks like the Canelo camp is running out of money to offer

            That’s why it’s called an offer because they are asking you if your willing to take it. You can always counter any offer your made. 8 million sounds generous but realistic and reasonable!

              ...While Canelo makes $35 Million "ALLEGEDLY" F#CK NO!

              Again this is why I think Purses need to be kept PRIVATE! Due to the fact that it is known what Canelo makes each fight (or close to it) "ALLEGEDLY", yeah his opponents are going to want Minimum 8 Figures ($10 Million) or close to it at least.

              We know the replies will be "Well Mayweather..." Yeah Mayweather got away with making $32 Million to lets say Robert Guerrero making $3 Million but that is totally different compared to now. Fighters have indeed gotten smarter but then also too, GBP don't have much In House Inventory for Canelo to fight especially at 168 so those fighters know regardless if it is for May or for later on this year in September...GBP is gong to have to Pay for Canelo to fight Quality fighters. No DAZN is not going to pay more money for his opponents on top of what they're already giving him absolutely NOT nor Should they. Especially when they really want him to fight Canelo again! Now you see tunes are changing about Possibly being more open to fight GGG again as of last week. They will make him come up to 168 but I do think it will happen in September for sure now

                Kovalev and Jacobs had been on ppv in america before. That drives up the price. Saunders and smith can't say that.

                That's makes Jacobs and kovalev worth more.

                6 million is fair for 2 guys who make way less

                  Of course it is because, who the **** are they?

                  They're not bigger than Kovalev, and the fight will take place in America. The only way they can argue for 10M+ is if the fight happens in the UK.

                  This is a bigger payday than either of them have ever gotten.

                    Yep it’s an amazing offer, they can counter that offer if they want doe. But if they both knew each other is on the list then they might take the offer.
