Andrade calls out Charlo, at post fight presser!

I'm pretty sure Jermall made mention that he had a difficult time making 154 lbs for Williams and that he was moving up now to 160 lbs.

I would definitely like to see him fight Andrade before he moves up for good, but I don't think he's going to campaign again at JMW.

 

I'm not sure the BJS fight will happen now that Oscar has announced he's halving BJS' purse. I bet BJS goes off into another year of hibernation.

I'm feeling more positive about Canelo-GGG actually happening in September, from the way Canelo's team are talking I reckon they must be closer to agreement about the purse. Probably something like $10 million + small but significant ppv upside.

Surely there's just too much money in it for it not to happen, I mean if it's $10 million or no fight GGG's team still need to take it, and Canelo's team ought to take a 70/30 split vs no fight as well since the money is huge.

Both GGG and Canelo would need to fight something like 4 times to make the same amount of money as fighting each other.

 

Another year of eating too. BJS needs to stay active in 2017... a crucial year for him.

 

Agree about BJS, but if I had to put money on it, I expect him to swerve Canelo and GGG.

Actually, I don't like the $10 million "flat fee" as Oscar called it. I actually think the first GBP offer was a truly flat fee and that GGG's team sent back something between 30-70 and 40-60 as a counter-offer. My opinion is that was a typical start to negotiations with rather low starting offers, but I think that GBP will have already sent or are going to send a slightly better offer with PPV upside that will get accepted. Perhaps there is some agreement already as Loeffler recently said they were sorting out a date + stadium. Canelo's team say the fight will happen too.

 

That's quite true.

All I'm trying to say is that I am hopeful that the money discussions are close to agreement.

 

Al needs to make this fight happen

 

As a boxing fan I'd love that fight but I understand why business wise it most likely won't happen. These guys would make pennies fighting each other and the winner doesn't become some "huge draw", you got to beat Canelo/GGG etc to become a draw.

 

The Andrade-Culcay fight is going to purses (again) on Thursday.

Andrade should take that fight as quick as possible, win and then have some leverage in negotiations, is he'll (kinda) have a title.

He doesn't seem to realise that just being talented doesn't get you fights.
You need to be in the public eye and bring something to the table.
Not fighting once a year.

 

It's 10 mil flat.

ZERO PPV UPSIDE.

Where the F do we get that from.
Isal or James 5K made that ish up to make it look as if GGG is passing on 20 mil.

It's 10 mil flat, take it or leave it.
And probably at a negotiated weight of 155/156
