Fair point
I see it that way because Ggg actually had precisely the same options as Canelo.
Neither of them can earn anything like the money fighting anyone else.
But the difference is that GGG cares about the belts. He wants to unify. He fought J and has tried to fight S.

Canelo should offer 80-20 take it or leave it.

Tripple begs cares about belts ? If that was the case he could of fought Billy j Sanders a few times already.
Canelito will make more money in 1 fight with anybody than tripple beg will earn in 10 fights that is not canelito, that Japanese dude or Sanders because those guys have a decent fan base and will actually pay with their hard earn money to watch

Canelo should move on and give Jacobs the big pay day

Fishnets n coke would never allow his cash cow near Jacobs. They are in a tight spot, as Canelo is 90% of their revenue, and they need to recoup what they lost for May. GBP know GGG is their best option. Fighting Saunders only works if they can reschedule GGG next May(!), which may never happen.

3g needs compensation for being messed about.
60-40 or 50-50

Exactly. They not stupid. If Canelo could barely handle GGG fighting on his backfoot for 12 rds how the hell is he going to take on these real MW that are physically more imposing and bigger than GGG? GGG is a smaller MW more closer to Canelo size and even he towers over him a bit at only 5'10.

Not that size wins every fights but these are big size differences naturally as Canelo was fighting at 140 at one point in his career. Then from his more recent slim down photos not hard to see he belongs at 154 with Charlo, Hurd, Andrade and Brook those guys more his size...They all taller than Canelo and walk around at about the same weight he does imo Canelo just likes to be lazy in between fights and not watch his weight like Hatton use to...

It should be fair 50/50. They claim that canelo can make 40 mil without GGG I just dont see that happening against spike or any other fighter for that matter. Eventually it will back fire if canelo ever wants a belt. I dont see jacobs or charlo taking then from GGG. They are good fighters but GGG puts on too much pressure for either to handle.

[Nomadic]

What part don't anyone understand, that Canelo is not trying to clear his name. He don't care, his fans still believe he ate tainted meat.

Canelo cannot stand Golovkin

and they know he is full-of-****

can't see it..... no way is Golovkin worth that

they will walk, and Golovkin will get nothing..... because.....

1) they owe him nothing

2) they can make nearly as much money fighting Saunders, because Golovkin is not a draw

Team Golovkin know this

they know that demanding 50% will kill the fight

as does any other serious observer..... he agreed to 35%, but now he wants 50% lol

it looks to me like Team Golovkin REALLY wants to fight Murata

there is a reason why they could not stop talking about Murata immediately following the Vanes debacle

You’re so wrong they need each other. If the money is split 50-50, then it gives Canelo and GGG $35-$45 mil each.
If Golovkin walks away from the negotiations Canelo will end up fighting Spike or Lemieux. He might be lucky to bring in $10 mil. If the money is split 80-20 then it gives Canelo $8 mil. You do the math.
