1.3 million ppv buys

The A side has nothing to do with not fighting your mandatory. If GG forced it to a purse bid that's one thing, but I don't even think that it got to that point. That's that weasel **** that Povetkin pulled on Wilder. 60-40 and make the fight.

No. 164 was Abel's counter offer.

 

164 is a bull**** offer but it's alot better than 1lb above the light middleweight limit.

I'm just trying to get my head around the idiotic logic.

So Canelo is the "A-side", he dictates the terms about the weight, purse etc as he's the bonfide ppv star and has more fans. Now its douchebag logic but if that's the case surely Golovkin being the bigger star in Ward's home country and appearance on PPV should have him as the "A-side" and by the douche logic he should be able to demand more than 50/50 and at a weight of his choice.

 

Surely it's the opposite? Only the 'snapchat generation' would care about such things if they're not actually connected with the fighter themselves?

 

I don't blame GG for not taking the fight under 160 lbs. He does not have to.

 

True as I don't blame Ward for accepting 164 even though only Sanchez spouted such nonsense.

Canelo can't expect to be a champion at a weight and being allowed to fight smaller men.

Canelo doesn't have to move up, if he can make 154 he can stay there and be in good fights. However if he can't he's got to man the **** up and step up to Golovkin.

 

He can stay at 154 and hope that people forgot that he ducked his mandatory but judgement day always arises. Canelo gave up the title rather than face his mandatory. As far as who is the draw...I don't give a **** about who the draw is. He owes GG his worth on the strength that he gave up the title rather than fight him. Trying to low ball him and ask for 155 is a ***** move if he tries that again.
