Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Hopes Jacobs Does Not Price Himself Out

[OnePunch]

Unreasonable because Triple G isn't worth 40% to Canelo. Golovkin is asking for a percentage that he simply has not earned. Golovkin is not Canelo's mandatory anymore so he does not have 40% leverage.

and thats YOUR opinion. But sadly your opinion doesnt matter. Its only Canelo and Oscars opinions matter as to whether GGG is worth 40%. If they dont think he is, then they will counter with 80-20, or 70-30, or whatever......

Seriously, with dirt cheap tickets, during Mexican independence weekend, filling 50,000 seats at that stadium was not a great achievement. If he'd filled all 80,000 seats, with the average ticket price about 5x higher, like Froch and Groves did at Wembley ... that would have been real A side business.

Why didn't they have GGG fighting at Wembley yet? Is he not a huge draw in the UK like Froch? Canelo is already doing shows in Arlington, TX. I guess they're not on the same level yet? Maybe that's why GGG is desperate for Froch and Canelo! He needs them much more than they need him. Froch has already fought the best, and Canelo has already fought the best. GGG, not so much! Hope he doesn't price himself out of another fight! Who do you like in Ward vs. Kovalev?

Love folks on the sidelines talking about who needs who. LMAO this isn't a kidney transplant, nobody needs anyone else. These are two of the highest paid fighters in the sport, the last thing these guys need is each other, we fans need them to fight because we want the fight.

If nobody needs anybody, no one would be crying about not getting fights! We all recognize desperation when we see it! We know Pacquiao needs Floyd and GGG needs Canelo! Notice you don't see Canelo crying for a rematch with Floyd. You don't see Floyd talking reckless about Canelo. They're both very content with their careers!

And yet all of those names you mentioned would still be ****** rich and pretty damned well known without each other...so again neither man needs the other. We need them to fight, they don't actually need to fight each other for any other purpose other than a bump in pay and that's it...they don't NEED it but they can choose to take it or not. This is the real world cuz, a dope fiend needs dope, a broke mofo needs to work to pay bills, rich @zz famous people don't need shh.

1) Lowest ticket price was $40, now It's not that unnafordable price but it ain't a $10 cheap one.
2) Pacuiao vs Margarito had 41,734. for attendance, and that was when Pacquiao was a monster known by mainstream people. coming from stoping De La Hoya and stoping Cotto.
3) UK Boxing right now is huge, they will pay to see their fighters, you can't compare US boxing to UK boxing right now, because UK has boxing as a top mainstream sport there.
4/ Canelo vs "A BUM" broke Pacuiao's record, wether you like it or not, was a gate success.

PD Chavez Sr. vs Haugen filled the historic record of 136,274 people on Estadio Azteca and that was when Chavez was a national hero, and a worldwide attraction.

I'm not bashing on Froch or Groves, but you put Canelo in Estadio Azteca against Golovkin and you will have minium 80,000 people, guaranteed.

How is that ridiculous , CU-NTNELO THE PUTA just flopped his PPV event with 250k buys while GGG PPV did over 500k and you want Team GGG just take a flat fixed fee with putting 4 belts up, while team Fishnet&RedPumps with 0 belts reaps all the benefits from PPV which would be one of the the best fight of the year????

People bought the fight mostly for Brook NOT GGG. I didn't see many people rooting for GGG. You think if Canelo fought Brook it would be over seas??? No because Canelo would be the A-Side.

Yeah and there fans TRAVEL big time!!! When Floyd fought Hatton you couldn't even hear the Floyd fans over Hattons. And they were Everywhere walking around the strip

I was just saying the same thing about GGG and his ridiculous counter offer to Canelo!

It's the first counter offer.

Have you ever negotiated anything? You start higher and end close to where you want.

What goes around, comes around! Let's hope GGG doesn't "price himself out" of a fight with Canelo!

If Canelo won't do at least 70/30, then he's pricing himself. He isn't the star he thinks he is.

isnt this the exact thing GGG is doing to canelo, pricing himself out. interesting.

No, but that won't stop you from saying it.

That do not change fact asking for 40% when still on regular HBO is a bit to high 25-30% would be realistic and if Canelo walked away from that offer I'll be first to call out ginger ****e on it, flat fee is also unrealistic for ggg to take

It's his first counter offer, what is he supposed start where he's willing to go. That's bad business.

You'd be ****** to believe GGG wasn't the reason for that fights success.

Was Brook doing numbers before GGG invaded the uk? Nope!
