    250-350k best estimate based on what HBO execs hinted at

    Not a large amount for a big name and even DChenko would rather a pursebid go forward than take that.

    GGG is likely playing hardball with HBO refusing to sign another extension but demanding the date.
    They're actually stacking the punitive damages Alvarez will pay for pulling out.

    In a wk, the NSAC will publish GGGs requests to let the fight proceed and then use Alvarez withdrawal as evidence of guilt, POSSIBLY causing stricter sanctions.

    Just hope the ABCs allow the fight.

    I mean Trout is being blessed with yet another shot and he hasn't had a decent W since Dawson.

    I agree in the sense that, you have to assume if Golovkin was ever going to be unmotivated, that this is the type of fight where that MIGHT potentially happen. But then again, the exact opposite could prove true. I'm interested to find out. If it boils down to Vanes or nothing, I vote Vanes.

    His prior commitment ended with DJ but he signed up for 3 more to make the Jacobs fight PPV in order to get the money right to seduce DJ into the ring.

    How do I know.

    Published details of the payouts and the leaks during the first Alvarez negotiations.

    Msg confirmations and in terms of the HBO commitment to MAY 5.

    I THINK THEY'RE TANKING IT TO DERAIL GGG V SAUNDERS possibly going to Showtime

    Been following the the financials since his 3 fight deal starting with Proxa.
    Been in touch with Loefflers ppl for yrs now and give them a feel for what the fans are saying without the spin by the media.
    2 fights left.
    Alvarez 2 was 1, then one more at the agreed guarantee.
    HBO or GBP are tanking this to salvage the rematch and keep BJS away jic Alvarez gets the W and sets up a 3rd fight.

    I can see why GBP would try to tank the fight. If that’s the case then Wow

    Considering Vanes is the #1 rated WBC contender, fights out of Cali and has fought almost made more top level fights vs MWs and LMWS than I can remember, I can't see the WBC refusing to sanction it.
    K2, GGG and Loeffler are going to talking to Sulieman asap, believe that

    I just want to see Golovkin fight someone, anyone!!! He needs to get the ring rust off. Oscar has tried to ruin Golovkin's career for a long time now, Golovkin likes to fight 3 - 4 times per year, yet has has wasted his time waiting on El Pollo the cheat! Oscar will try to sabotage any fight for Golovkin.............

    Sounds to me that there's not a lot of money on offer for making this fight without Canelo. That could be the stumbling block.

    Yet is still the #1 rated LMW by the WBC

    He's not been sitting around ballooned up to 220 as Kirkland had and that was sanctioned by the state commission and the ABCs involved and at a CW ffs

    He's gonna want his 25% which would have GGG cutting into his own tv money.

    And while Johnson is solid, he's not as good as Vanes by a long shot.

    Just wish he'd have a W of late.

    But I don't see anyone complaining bout Trout getting a 3rd consecutive title shot
