The comparison with the Mayweather Pacquiao negotiations is false. The wtiter neglected to mention that Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather agreed to a 50\50 revenue split before Pacquiao walked away from negotiations because of a drug testing demand. And years later after Pacquiao had been knocked out and his PPV sells had dwindled Mayweather made an impromptu offer of 40 million over the phone because Bob Arum refused to even speak to Mayweather's team at the time. GGG doesn't even have a PPV track record with only one PPV fight that did not do well. If GGG and his promoter can get the most money out this fight as possible then more power to them. But using Mayweather Pacquiao as a parallel comparison is not an viable way for his case to be stated.

There really is no comparison at all.

1. Both biggest fights in boxing at the time
2. That was the only other time someone tried demanding a flat fee for a fight that big. Of course nobody bit, it was a joke offer

I'll give you Chavez but GGG would do more than half of Canelos number with him. That you have to resort to a future fight with Jr to show Canelo can carry 500k+, that tells the whole story
if so no need to discuss anymore...

its sucks that a lot of money is being left on the table for canelo but, those are the perks with being an A side. who knows, maybe gbp ups the amount if canelo bashes in jr.
