    157 is not fair.

    He's a mandatory, and he doesn't have to come in under 160 according to the rules of boxing.

    Canelo has accepted 160.

    There ARE......that is IF it goes to purse bid.

    Which it will NOT.

    GGG will HAVE to concede to make this fight.

    If he makes no concessions, then he'll be fighting Heiland or Johnson or even rematching Macklin for the vacant title.

    He'd be a complete fool to pass on even 20% if he can get Canelo to ALLOW him 158. :-(

    I will proclaim him p4p #1 if it's a clean honest win.

    Again.....if it goes to purse bid, Canelo will drop the title and steal BJS or even cross the network barrier to get Jacobs onto HBO PPV.

    Golovkin MUST concede or he'll be fighting another no-hoper for the vacant title.:roll:

    Probably at a flat $1 mil. Golovkin makes more than that watching Canelo. :patsch

    :conf no idea. No doubt Canelo will try wring all the money possible out of the deal it only makes sense. But he has publically said he will do 160.

    But there's no honor or glory in this match!

    It is ENTIRELY a belt issue! Nobody would care about this fight yet, if Canelo didn't get the MIDDLEWEIGHT belt from Cotta.

    It is a mismatch. It has no right to be. Drop the belt, Canelo. Just drop it.

    Sad but true. It's an easy night for GGG. After all el pollos posturing I'm kind of looking forward to seeing him get a beat down though.
