    There we go :good Canelo will try squeeze him but if he can't squeeze too hard. He's already being perceived as a coward over the 155 story.

    Does the WBC dictate purse splits for champ-interim champ fights?

    Purse bid cut in this situation is 55-45. It is in GGG best interest to take it to purse bid. Also 155 can't be enforced in a mandatory fight. Sucks for Oscar and Canelo. They are getting brutally KOed and they both know it.

    I watch boxing since the early 2000's and I cannot remember seeing a group of fans being against a pretty good fight so rabidly, like it is literally getting dumber with each passing day.

    I wouldn't say Canelo is 10x more popular, more like 5x more popular.
    80/20 sounds reasonable.

    So you're ok with blatant corruption and ducking so long as the fighter it's benefiting is Mexican. Smh.

    At 160 with no rematch clause Gennady would jump at it
    VADA does testing too. Be an easy win for Gennady:good

    How is Canelo the A side anyway?? He got embarrassed by Mayweather
    Both Lara & Trout arguably beat him but got the shaft.. No one has even made GGG break a sweat he blasts them all OUT!!!!!!!!!! Canelo would be the next KO victim & he knows it

    It doesn't matter how much you hate Canelo but the simple fact that you can't comprehend who the A side is speaks volumes.

    Exactly, at this point Oscar has nothing else that he can utilize, everything is in Golovkin's favor by managing to wait patiently for his chance. A goofy offer by Oscar will only have Golovkin's team simply wait for the purse bid.
