    His biggest purse has been 5 million, but won't accept 12 million career high at a chance at super stardom in a fight with Canelo? WTH is wrong with him?

    We don't know the full story. I'm more inclined to believe GGG than Canelo at this point. I will say that Canelo vs GGG would be the biggest fight we have to look forward to right now though. I think if it gets made it will do better numbers than Kovalev vs Ward unless something drastic happens with either fighter.

    Bum ass ggg will not make 12 million even if he has another 10 fights combined. Always finds a way to duck

    GGG is obviously scared of the beast Canelo. Should he end up being brave enough to fight such an ATG warrior I applaud him. If he should manage to WIN against Canelo...wow, there are no words for such an upset. GGG would be propelled into the history books for this incredible feat. Is it possible, though?!

    You're more inclined to believe someone who made a career feasting on bums and overly matched hopeless opponents because you're an idiot. Simple as.

    Canelo is a massive underdog vs. GGG according to the bookies so I understand his management will find ways to delay this fight as long as possible.

    It's 12 million? **** Holyfield accepted 12 million to fight Tyson, there's no reason why GGG wouldn't accept that type of money to fight Canelo... That's straight BS from GGG.

    This thread is pure speculation and therefore trash.

    No evidence to say a fight was offered. The only thing we know is Canelo dropped the belt.

    Abel Sanchez confirmed the offer, but GGG will get only 10% of that.

    No, it is because people actively avoid GGG while GGG seems to fight who ever he has available
    It has more to do with the timing. Everyone has been calling Canelo every name in the book ever since he dropped his title. Why are we just now hearing about this offer? Wouldn't it make sense just to come out and say "GGG ducked us" instead of just taking all of that criticism.

    Is that money for a fight at 160 or Canelo weight?

    Because the combined gate and PPV would be around $100m from such a fight IMO. Canelo would make $20m so why would GGG take much less?

    GGG is the champion, it is HIS belts they are fighting for. 50-50.
