    Have to say, either one of them against Saunders is a legitimate match-up.

    Canelo is the one who welched. Business wise, GGG lost millions when that test turned up positive. Not unreasonable to ask for a risk premium in case of another cancellation.

    Oscar/GBP lowballed Floyd Mayweather back in the day, so it's not new for them.

    How did Canelo welch? He's not the one who reneged on the offer.

    And GGG DID NOT LOSE MILLIONS, he's still getting a chance to get that money 4 months later.

    Exactly.

    GGG has lost nothing as the fight is still their for him.

    I think the reality is GGG realises he shouldn’t of signed for 35% originally and is now using the cancelled fight as an excuse to try and get more.

    They could be fighting for the 3rd time in September, so yes he did lose a lot of money due to Canelo getting caught cheating and backing out of the fight.

    How many people will not go to the next fight or order the the ppv due to Canelo canceling the fight and getting caught doping? It was canceled with so little time Canelo should have maned up and dropped out of the fight right after he came up dirty and not waited until a couple weeks before fight to back out.

    **** happens and Canelo is now paying the price for his actions. He also lost a lot of money, and has no one to blame for himself but Loefler/GGG are trying to capitalize on the circumstances and it almost feels like extortion that's why a lot of people are not on his side on this.

    Canelo planned to go ahead with the fight and it wasn't until GGG made a big stink by blurting out some unfounded accusations that forced the Commission to try and safe face by flexing their muscle. The fight was still on until GB realized Canelo would for sure be penalized, so they decided to postpone it and take advantage of that off time to
    get that knee surgery out of the way.

    GGG is 10 times the FIGHTER Clenelo could ever dream of being. Clen had Bob Bennett, the NSAC, Vegas boxing & officials backing him all the way Plus he was caught juicing. The best that whole bunch could & dare muster for the Ginger coward was a BOGUS DRAW!!!! Get to the end of the line Ginger EARN another shot

    How did Golovkin lose “millions” ? He went ahead with his fight on may 5th and made his usual wages.

    GGG is under no obligation to accept the terms of the fight that was cancelled. That contract is null and void.

    Likewise, Canelo is under no obligation to offer new terms.

    Whoever wants the fight more will flinch.

    Or they will negotiate new terms.

    You guys going back and forth calling the other a coward or yellow or whatever is nonsense.

    Funny when was the fight postponed? Or do you mean he broke his contract when he was caught cheating and couldn't get away with it. He canceled he did not reschedule.

    So what your saying is Canelo is not a draw at all.
