    GGG will get the fight with Canelo due to him being the mandatory, so he does not have to fight under a weight handicap to suit the current champions fixation with catch weights. Why sacrifice to make weight when you don't have to??

    I doubt you will be defending Canelo as much as you do if he wasn't Mexican.

    All these post are still not answering the OP. What makes a fight a big money fight. Like I asked where is the line drawn as to what is a big money fight and what is not?

    GGG made 2 Mill against Lemieux and 750,000 against Monroe, so I lean more towards the latter figure for his mandatory against Wade. But clearly he gets paid more when the opponents are more high profile.

    And yes since he made 2 million against Lemieux and is able to consistently generate ratings in the 1.3 Million range against average opponents like Wade and Monroe and Cotto who is a bonafide name was able to draw 1.5 against Geale. That puts in right smack dab in the ballpark of being a big money draw. No his PPV wasn't a huge success, but neither was Cotto-Martinez, Martinez-Chavez Jr. or Marquez-Fedchenko, you need two legit stars to make a PPV something someone wants to spend 60 or 70 bucks of their hard earned cash on, and Lemieux wasn't inspiring enough a choice for casual fans, but Canelo taking on GGG definitely would be.

    Therefore making GGG-Canelo a big money fight.
