Comments Thread For: Chavez: Canelo Picked Me Over GGG For 'Easier Fight, More Money'

[The plunger man]

Depends?? If Jacobs/GGG does decent numbers and Canchavez doesn't then yes. Say Canelo's does 700K buys and GGG does 300k then 70/30 looks good. Really depends on how well each ppv does??? IMO

i think any fight that canelo is involved in besides a golovkin will do considerably less than if he faces golovkin...that fight will make a million sells and if canelo makes say 600k against chavez then in my opinion 60-40 is a fair split....yeah but lets see ....it might all be pie in the sky if jacobs causes a worldwide shock or chavez batters canelo and even if canelo wins its feasable that chavez will put a serious hurt on canelo and make him avoid golovkin even more....we will see fella

[The plunger man]

So if GGG gets 35% who should take less??? Goldenboy or Canelo??? That leaves 65% left between the A-side and the money man.Should Oscar get 35% and Canelo 30%?? Lol. Or maybe Oscar get 40% and Canelo 15%??? I know Oscar gets 32.5% and Canelo gets 32.5% and let GGG get 35%. Wow!!! I'm surprised you didn't suggest GGG just get it al??

You do know golovkin has k2 as his management so if goldenboy get a percentage of canelos purse then so do K2 with Golovkins purse...come on shadow behave

It is a financially smart move for Canelo and Golden Boy. But it is still the move of a chicken not a fighter. And I know that even the GGG haters and the Canelo lovers can see this. GGG will destroy Canelo even if they wait five years. GGG is just that much better. "One of the greatest middleweights ever."---Roy Jones Jr.

Chavez, JR: "This fight, I think it’s a little dangerous for Canelo..." LOL, even JR himself knows he's of little risk to Cuntnelo.

Canelo knows boxing is about mucho pesos not tough fights

Canelo for a mex is not dumb and canelo knows Pesos talk and burros walk in boxing. Why fight a Charlo either one or Lara again or Theopane or GGG when a Lazy quitter Chaver Jr beckons for mucho pesos. screw titles it's all about cash in boxing. Canelo vs Chavez the lazy quitter should be held in mexico anyway. Spare the USA this influx of illegals fight and crime spree that follows.

GGG's last PPV, in the UK against Brook, sold 642k .. and that was just in the UK. Brooks previous PPV headliner only did 39k, so you can see from that how much appeal Golovkin has now.

GGG has many more fans worldwide than Canelo. Taking that into consideration, plus Canelo's falling HBO PPV numbers, Golovkin would bring as much money to the fight as Canelo.

50/50 on all the income would be fair, imo.

If Golovkin is the main draw, then K2 should take the lead in promoting the fight and offer Canelo enough money to take the fight and the STFU, instead of whining and complaining at every opportunity. There is no 11th commandment that says GB has to to be the lead promoter.

Everyone knoww GGG is better, why do u think Canelo fights, Layoff Kirkland, Smaller Old Past Prime Cotto, Smaller Chiny Khan, Nobody weakest Champ Smith, Fat Stoner Bum Weight Drained Chavez Jr, while GGG faces the next top dog in his divison.

[Mammoth]

Lol even Chavez Jr knows he's garbage. "Canelo could have fought GGG but is fighting my weak ass instead".

Your first sentence says it all, the rest is babble. Golvokin is the best middleweight of this era, but what in the world do you know about "chickens" or courage for that matter. Unless you have been in the ring with world class fighters or have risked life and limb in combat, you should be less quick to label fighters as cowards. This is all about money, big money in this case. There is an offer on the table, let's see what happens.
