Gennady Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, sent a counter-offer to Golden Boy Promotions, who handle Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (48-1-1, 34KOs).
Hate to say it, but GGG should just take whatever, knock this ginger out and demand whatever in a rematch.
There's no guarantee Canelo will rematch him if GGG dominates him. Anyway no sane fighter or promoter is going to give up tens of millions of dollars just to appease haters on the internet. GGG will offer fair terms as always and if Canelo stops ducking him, Canelo will agree to fair terms and they will fight each other. This is like when Flom0s said Pacquiao should just take the flat $40 mil. No, just because one fighter is ducking doesn't put the responsibility on the other fighter to just give in to ridiculous demands to appease a ducking fighter.
As boxing fans we need to reorient the way we think a little bit and get back to reality. Start blaming the ducking fighters, not the ones being ducked. If Canelo makes GGG a lowball offer, we can't blame GGG for not taking the lowball offer, we need to blame Canelo for making lowball offers designed to keep the fight from happening.
In short, when one fighter clearly wants the fight, and one fighter clearly does everything possible to avoid the fight, we need to blame the fighter who is doing everything possible to avoid the fight. Until he fights GGG, Team Canelo deserves all the blame, as has already been established when he said he would fight GGG after Cotto, but fought Khan instead, then said he would fight GGG after Khan, but dropped the belt instead. That's already two clear ducks so that's where the blame lies.
GGG to his credit is now chasing after someone potentially more dangerous than Canelo, in Danny Jacobs. Canelo ducks him so he just moves on to an even bigger threat, always willing to face the best guys who will face him. That's to be commended.
GGG who can't even get any PPVs from HBO because the one time they tried it bombed wants the same deal pacman got? Bytch you aint pacman you can't even fight in Vegas you got to beg UK fighters just to get on ppv overseas in fights where fans pay to see the UK fighter not you. 10mil 2 or 3x his career payday. Now you see who the real one making this fight difficult. First refused to drop weight (154 or 168 doe ) now that weight is settled he's pricing himself out of his biggest payday. LMAO
