Comments Thread For: Arum Rips: Golden Boy's Flat Fee Offer To Golovkin is Bull****!

Pretty sure that Pac gives all his money away and otherwise squanders it....

16 months removed from the Floyd fight, to hear you tell it, Manny Pacquiao has already blown $150m? on what, lol?

Depending on when the conversions happened, you're talking about 6b to 7b Philippine pesos having been spent (deduct out Koncz's share, Freddie's share, taxes, camp expenses, etc and you're still talking about the equivalent of 2b-3b PI pesos before paying Arum's advances back), in a country where you can get a Lamborghini for 20m.

Pacquiao spent the equivalent of 100 Lamborghini's in 16 months? gtfoh

Based on GGG being favourite and its a fight people want to see more than anything g.
You said its not bigger than Miguel but it probably is. This fight has been brewing

Golovkin doesn't currently bring a fifth of the money that Alvarez brings to a fight (85/15 looks to be about right), and Alvarez is already giving Golovkin 6 pounds on the fight.

gtfoh with the rest of that nonsense; HBo has been shilling the guy for nearly four years now, and he still couldn't get 100k homes to buy into the hype. You don't do 2 tickets for $40 deals if you are truly that star.

60-40 is GGG pricing himself out. 80-20 seems more logical based on PPV history and overall fanbase.

I'd say 85/15, but 80/20 is close enough, I guess. Still, with Alvarez just having fought at 154lbs (making the weight on the first go, with his camp consistently saying that he's a junior middleweight who will move up when his body says to move up), what value do you place on those 6lbs that Alvarez is giving Golovkin?

Golovkin has never been below 159 for a pro fight, and Alvarez has never been above 155 for a pro fight.

Those 4 pounds ought to be worth something; how about we call it $1m per pound.

80/20 (or 85/15), minus $4m from Golovkin's take.

65 35 seems a biut unfair to GGG on poaper but seems reasonable to shoiw nelo really wants it.

Don't take too much notice oif GGG ppv history as GGG has been favourite so people didn't want to watch mismatch which won't be case this time. GGG has big fanbase.

Bottom line, the better fighter needs to be paid. Forget about what nelo has paiud previous opponents. GGG is the best so you have to pay him more than you've ever paid anyone
