    That’s why Jacobs had 2 rubbish fights since then. Abel said that battle took a lot out of Danny.

    Golovkin will have to concede ground on the financial if this is to happen. As much as Golovkin won't like it, as much as some may think he deserves it, and I do, to gbp this fight is about money, no legacies, no pride, money and they want as much of it as they can squeeze out of that event.

    I do wonder if the money is the only change to the may contract Golovkin wants to make, there were plenty of concessions he wasn't happy about making in the 1st or the may fight but after all that's happened maybe he's not so willing to make them now.

    Mexico has a very rich boxing tradition so of course that's something Mexicans are going to be proud of but do you really believe they're any more nationalistic than other countries? SMH

    In regards to Canelo v Smith/Kirkland/Khan, it was bought by Mexicans, Brits, Americans and more avid fans than casuals(it's the huge fights that bring in the casuals). And of course more Mexicans were in attendance for the simple reason that the Mexican was the bigger draw of the 4. Simple as that!

    Cantaloupe (lol ty spellchecker) doesn’t want the fight so I expect the negotiations to fall through or he’ll have to eat some more Mexican beef.

    I wouldn't budge if I was Canelo, ffs he hasn't fought in what will be a year.

    Tune up against fight against Spike, which he should win comfortably but at the same time will be an entertaining fight that could do OK.

    GGG just gets older and easier to beat by the minute. He probably fights another total no hoper in a mismatch and gets criticised which gives Canelo more bargaining power too.

    Honestly think Canelo is too proud for his own good and will buckle again. Always making every concession but getting zero respect. Fickle poorly informed fans around here.

    Lol- comparing the Grateful Dead to GGG in terms of fans selling out venues but not buying ppvs or CDs! My internet name is a Grateful Dead song. I just might have to reconsider my thoughts on you, el cyclon

    The fact that he fought the top 2 Jr MWs, and the top MW says a lot about Canelo. especially when you factor in that Lara and Trout were high risk low reward fighters.

    Trout was an A fighter when Canelo fought him having beat Cotto and I also had him beating Jermall Charlo. Trout is definitely past his best at this point, but in his prime he was a force.

    Canelo has never had a fight fall through because of money or weight, he despite being the cash cow has always conceded. The one time there was money problems was against GGG who wanted a big piece of the pie, and its no surprise GGG has had money get in the way of other potential fights and almost missed out on Jacobs because of money. It is also my opinion that they thought Jacobs was getting KTFO but ended up being a close disaster and for that reason I doubt GGG will ever give Jacobs a rematch.

    Does this sound ridiculous to any of you......

    GGG isn't a big enough draw to make Derevyanchenko a decent offer @ short notice or Spike for that matter.......


    But some how he deserves 50 freaking 50 with the mega star Canelo, ffs CANELO!!!!!

    How many brain cells do these guys have?

    Never ever will they get 50/50 with Canelo. Canelo accepting 60/40 isn't GGG making a concession. That's how it would be written up here though, Canelo would get no credit. GGG would be the victim who deserves more.

    I am offended by the GGG tards who will spread this propaganda

    Omg..both sides of this argument are making my head hurt.
    I'm a GGG fan.
    Canelo is under NO obligation to offer GGG more than the last fight. Canelo is the draw. Period.

    GGG is under no obligation to accept the deal on the table. He has a right to ask for, negotiate for as much as he can get.

    They both have the right to walk away if they can't agree to a number. It's not a duck or coward on either side. They've already fought and proved they aren't scared.

    You don't get what you deserve or what you are worth, you get what you negotiate for.
