    Read everything man. How many times do I have to repeat myself. I said the money he gets should depend on how much is being made altogether.If the fight makes more money or Canelo is making loads of money why shouldn't Kirkland make money.He's well known by Mexicans and they know he comes to fight.He went over to Mexico and represented himself well and now he's in a big fight then some think he should make peanuts.There's a %age of goodwill he's bringing to this fight and he should get paid for it.

    look what you wrote the first time :deal. An 1 Mil is not peanuts in boxing for a guy like james. Canelo is making a **** load of money because he is the one bringing a **** load of fans

    I never said Kirkland should get 50%.This is probably Canelo's first fight,he's been fighting bums ever since he turned pro

    NO. You are fighting a big draw, who many are saying will be the next big star, ppv, cards already stacked against you. Give him 2mil. After taxes, manager, trainer etc, he would walk away with decent money. Look, he's not being greedy, there is plenty of money to go around. If they really want Kirkland, they can pay him well.

    If Kirkland didn't have a diagnosed shoulder injury that previously was noted that he would be out until October, I would say something is up, but even a blind man can see what GBP is trying to do here. Waving some money in James face to get him to fight on short notice and not fully healed to save their card and provide a name for Canelo. Pay the man.

    you realize Victor Ortiz was guaranteed 2 mil vs Mayweather right ? Like I said good for James if he gets it but if he doesnt and he never gets a mil pay day he only has himself to blame

    Sounds like someone was/is trying to cash out.
    A win over Alvarez will get Kirkland the $$$
    (confidence problem??)

    But "If" James is hurt I don't blame him one bit for not wanting to fight at less than 100%, that would be stupid business.

    logic James is trying cash himself out he knows he cant fight.
    If he beat Canelo I really think he would be next in line for a Mayweather fight. I dont think he will beat Canelo though. If he is hurt he should just not take the fight.
