Comments Thread For: Golden Boy: Canelo Will Sign The Minute Golovkin Agrees To Offer

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

The same shiiit that happens to most super fights. These fights need time to promote and set up, also negotiating every last detail. Kovalev and Ward just signed a year prior to their upcoming match, with fights in between. Lil g and his fans have ran out of excuses

They "agreed" on fighting...nothing was signed until a few weeks ago!!!

Canelita needed Floyd and Cotto to do big numbers...all his other notable fights did big attendance #'s BC he fought in Houston and Dallas huge Mexican populations! No way he fights Smith or Kirkland in Vegas.

Kovalev and Ward had a verbal agreement.... Fight was just negotiated and signed recently. Venue was even undecided up until a few weeks ago....With main events wanting the fight on the east coast.

52k ppl packed out an arena to see him fight a person nobody wanted to see him fight...please dont type anything else to me today..

Who cares about the amount of people. Mayweather brings less people to the MGM but brings in more dough. 52 K in not considered pack for an arena of 80 K.

Just one question for triple G fans why is it that when Loeffler and company came out saying that they had offerd Saunders life changing money and Saunders declined it you attacked him right away then it came out that the offer was 1.5 mill not the life changing money Loeffler barked about yet now the tables have turned but somehow triple G gets a pass?

Green K sent

Offer was 8 figures plus ppv upside. So ggg and his team are looking at $15-$20 million

Let me borrow your crystal ball! Anywho, why would GGG sign a contract for a fight a year from now? What if Canelo gets knocked out twice before then? How big of a draw will ot be then? You sign the contract for your next fight not 2-3 fights in the future.. unrealistic negotiating on Goden Boys part!

That is true, usually the purses are not released to the public.

However if oscar cant give the full details of the offer then he should say nothing. Usually promoters and fighters stay quiet when real negotiations are taking place. Oscar opening up about offers being made clearly shows he's not serious about negotiations.

This is the biggest fight in boxing. Flat fees dont cut it in these type of situations. He says golovkin will get ppv upside, but doesnt say how much? Its also not specified when the match will take place?

It all boils down to the fact that actions speak louder than words. Canelo said he would fight golovkin. Then he dropped the title. He got heat so he said he would fight him at 155. He still got heat so he moved back to 154. He couldnt make 154 without illegal substances so he dropped vada. Now he talks about an offer that was made a month ago but he cant give the specifics.

Promoters are either quiet and negotiating or they talk about the deal and kill negotiations. Oscar spoiled the deal the moment he opened his mouth. He wants to make it seem like ggg ducked, but he wont give the details because he knows that would show it wasnt a fair offer. Golovkin's team hasnt given the details yet because that would totally kill negotiations. They also probably want to see the ggg/brook ppv figures.

Your 4th paragraph deals in speculation. Canelo has repeatedly said he would fight GGG, just on his terms, and won't be forced into anything. And he's easily the A-side, the draw, so he will get what he wants. As far as Oscar bringing this up, it's to counter what you just brought up... negative speculation. This negotiation will be completed or abandoned by people other than us. IMO though, we'll find out the offer was a good one. Probably not what GGG fans or GGG's people like 100%, but still way more than GGG would get in his next highest $$ fight.

52k is 52k my dog...agreed??
canelo does did 800k ppv with cotto and won..therefore that credit goes to him imo...

he's sold nearly 4 million more ppvs than ggg has ever done.

the split here is huge man.
