"If I had my way, if the fight occurs tomorrow, negotiation would be 90 percent for Canelo and 10 percent for Golovkin, so obviously these negotiations would be complicated, but in time we will sit down and put together this fight, it's a fight that everyone wants to see, "De La Hoya said.

Sounds bad, but if it's a $30-$40 million purse, that's still $3-$4mill for GGG. Personally I wish K2 would've just stripped Alvarez, collected the belt and move on without Alvarez and wait for him to come to them. Eventually he's going to need to move up to 160, additionally Golovkin is his biggest fight. K2/Golovkin should not beg for this fight, move on if Canelo is too scared.

So because they want the majority of the money that means they're scared?

LOL ok

Sounds about right when you're comparing 97k buys to 900k buys

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Golovkin should just grab a flat fee and give all the PPv upside to canelo...

Golovkin should just ask for 5 million and let canelo take the rest... It's really the only way to get a cash cow like canelo to accept a fight.. Just like how Cotto and floyd both bent over canelo in negotiations ,, canelo will now bend over ggg...

Seems 100% fair
900k ppvs eats 97k ppvs

canelito, it's your time to shine at the negotiation table.

It's just a negotiating tactic. I don't think Canelo will get 90%, but he does deserve the bigger split of the revenues. 70/30 sounds right

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Sounds like a tactic to make K2 say, "**** this fight and **** you ODLH".


GGG vs. a no-name did 150k buys. Canelo vs. a no-name but good fighter has done 300k and 400k buys.

Agreed.

Just DeLaHoya establishing who's the A side.
