Comments Thread For: Marquez: Canelo's Credibility Took a Big Hit Over Golovkin Mess

GGG should have move 1 pound and become the Super Middle weight champion and force Ward to come down to 161, like Canelo did. GGG should take two tune up fights before fighting the top dog in the next division, like Ward did. Who wants GGG to move up and fight no names. Fans want GGG vs Canelo, the biggest fight in Boxing, stop making escuses. Should be 60/40 split in Favor of Canelo at 160 for 4 titles.

A 60/40 split based on what?

Only Canelo has been involved in PPVs over 100K buys.

What? He is going to give Lil g 40% simply for being a "good boy"?

I don't think so.

And, I am all for Lil g taking as many tune-ups as he feels he needs. But he himself isn't talking about needing any. He says he wants the big fights now...but some how keeps fighting cab drivers, fringe contenders, and guys one or two weight classes below his.

You are right about one thing. Fans want to see Lil g and Canelo square off.

And, to me, it is Lil g fault the fight hasn't taken place.

He is B side to Canelo and he should have played his role and come down the same way he has asked others throughout his career to play their role and come up or come down.

GGG brings 4 middleweight titles. Canelo just did 200k PPV on "Mexican Independece Day", not much different than GGG 150k vs Lemieux.
Canelo is not world superstar either, just mexican super star. Canelo is NOT Mayweather. They both need each other.

Canelo doesn't need Lil g at all.

Glaser put the number at 325K, while Golden Boy said 600K; whatever number you choose, it's exponentially more than what Lil g was able to do.

And no, those are not Mayweather numbers, but I don't hear anyone saying money was lost.

Canelo can keep getting paid, and quite well fighting other guys.

Another Cotto fight is probably more lucrative than one with Gennady. And he makes the same amount of money with lesser names because he gets a bigger split.

Lil g can have the fight whenever he decides to play his role. If he was smart, he would stop making weight an issue and send Golden Boy a contract. Otherwise, I suspect they will keep "talking about" a fight until Canelo is truly ready to campaign at 160.

And who knows when that will REALLY be?

Maybe because their are more Mexican American people than Kazak Americans in America. Dont be fool by PPV numbers in America, they also get money from other countries. All I know Canelo stock has decrease by ducking GGG, and it will keep dropping
