We’ve now seen Callum Smith, Jermall Charlo and Sergey Derevyanchenko turn down Canelo fights. A deal with Ryota Murata couldn’t get done either and it’s fair to assume it didn’t happen because of a dispute over money. Sergey Kovalev even turned down an offer from Golden Boy to fight Canelo Alvarez and got more money out of them before signing to fight.
Golden Boy needs to offer fair compensation or they’ll have trouble finding opponents for Canelo. Of course, this wouldn’t be a problem if Canelo manned up and fought GGG again but I digress.
Damn right. Canelo makes a fortune every fight but Oscar won't pay potential opponents a fair amount. Oscar is so tight he rubs the buffalo off the nickle before he will part with it. There is a reason offer never says how much he offered anybody because they are lousy low ball offers and if he said how little he offered these guys to fight Richie Rich everyone would know it. I think Jacobs got 15 million to fight Canelo and I know Khan got 13 million to fight Canelo. Start making good offers like that again to fight Canelo and these champions will fight him.
GBP set the precedent with the Jacobs offer, not me.
Jacobs was for Unification.
Jacobs made 15 million give or take right? So if GBP says 4 times the amount Smith was already making with the Jacobs standard, Smith is making 3-4 million a fight?

jacobs had his own mutlifight contract with dazn, gbp did not pay charlo 12 mil, they paid him like 2.5m and dazn paid the rest...
ggg will get a similar deal if he fights canelo due to his multi fight deal with dazn... those other guys are not even with dazn or if they are they have different contracts..
I don’t. It just doesn’t matter. When a titleist gets $12 million to fight Canelo, no one is accepting a paycheck that’s 1/3 or 1/2 of that number. It’s common sense.
