    To be fair when does Golovkin ever complain about money,like Kovalev with Ward he usually has take what’s there but with Canelo even 35% is still gonna be a huge amount as I reckon PPV will do better next time cause if you remember Floyd n McGregor messed things up before

    I don’t even think it’s a Canelo thing anymore as PPV numbers are just gonna get less and less with streaming ect.
    We never gonna see Floyd like numbers again imo,but still I know what you mean about Golovkin and whilst he’s never been much of a PPV guy he sells out venues for fun as well the merchandise,Jacobs,Saunders or Charlo don’t come close do they?

    Bottom line is that Golovkin is Clenelo's biggest paycheck and it also offers Clenelo a chance to redeem himself (partially only as the doping will follow him for life).

    If Clenelo doesn't fight Golovkin, it's a pure duck.

    As a life long boxing fan I will always support a FIGHTER who gives 100% in the ring,plays by the rules & has class. This describes Gennady Golovkin to a tee.
    You on the other hand support a coward & a proven .Ped's cheater.,Even with his Peds, the backing of Bob Bennett, the NSAC & Vegas boxing officials Canelo couldn't come close to beating Gennady.They had to gift him a "draw"
    I respect Gennady Golovkin but have nothing but contempt for Oscar & Clenelo

    I really doubt that Canelo is as big as draw as Oscar and his team thinks he is after his embarrassment in the first GGG fight and the positive test result for the rematch.

    He lost droves of Mexican fans after his loss to GGG. Yes, LOSS, and the fact he stepped on his back pedal as soon as he tasted GGG's power.

    Many in the Mexican media criticized and quite literally mocked Canelo for the way he fought.

    We'll see how big draw he still is after his next non-GGG fight tanks.

    Just read an article about Chris Froome the cyclist who got popped for twice the amount of some dodgy asthma med,he’s just had an incredible win but the writer said it’s not gonna change what folk think as his reputation is now in bits.
    That Canelo is now looking normal is a good thing and like you say he does need to rematch Golovkin without looking like the hulk and to be honest he may be better without all the useless muscle which was so obviously unnatural anyway as he’d still look the same we’re it for real.

    You should check out Precise punchers vid of GGG v Vanes breakdown it’s quite an eye opener when you realise how he set his man up for the uppercut.
    I’d love to see Canelo v Vanes actually as nobody has dealt with Vanes like GGG did and even in those two rounds you can see Vanes is no mug and will punish any mistakes.

    Everyone knows that Golovkin beat El Pollo in the first fight and Oscar's judges and PEDS saved El Pollo from the loss. The vast majority of boxing fans had Golovkin winning, Harold Lederman had it 8 rounds to 4 Golovkin, Pauli had it 9 round to 3 Golovkin, I had Golovkin winning the fight 9 rounds to 3, Nacho Beristain had Golovkin winning the fight.......................so, El Pollo should be willing to fight Golovkin for 50/50, he is the one who lost the fight, not Golovkin. Now El Pollo is blaming Golovkin on his having to give up PEDS and having to take the VADA tests which he does not want to do. El Pollo is afraid to fight Golovkin again, esp. without his PEDS. El Pollo looks skinny without his PEDS, look at his latest picture! Oscar will still insist on his personal judges, referee, boxing commission and El Pollo refuses to fight anywhere except Vegas where Oscar will control everything! El Pollo wanted to delay the fight anyway!
