    Canelo headlined a PPV that sold 2mill buys?
    Canelo worst PPV did more than double GGGs best?

    Canelo has paid his dues and made many concessions to be the man in boxing.

    GGG needs to do the same it's as simple as that!

    GGG always said it was never about the money anyway?

    When GGG wanted to move down to 154 and fight Floyd, how much money did they think Floyd was going to ****ing pay him? $25 million?
    He would have gotten $5 million and a UD loss while Mayweather strolled away with another $100 million.
    K2 is not known for their top notch negotiating skills. Remember how GBP and Cotto did them for 2 years?

    You are what they called in the old days "slow". Do you hear yourself?

    You defended Eubank Jr for not signing to fight Golovkin for a life changing purse of multi millions, you had a lorry load of excuse if I remember correctly but you hear one rumour of an apparent offer and Golovkin is a coward?

    You are just full of contradictions.

    Oh before I stick you on ignore, Never forget Canelo was mugged, Golovkin told him he wanted his jewellery and Canelo handed it over without a fight, now that's what a cowardly move looks like.

    I don't know what the Eubanks are thinking but they claim Hearn wasn't picking up?

    CEJ isn't claiming he isn't about the money either, he seems to be all about the show and money tbh. He calls himself a prize fighter not a boxer. He's a showman and he entertains.

    There are certainly dem that do what you described. Floyd got hate all day everyday

    I just want this fight to happen sooner than later. People think GGG will get old overnight but Floyd got better with age

    Yes I agree Canelo has paid his dues and is only 26. He has a lot of time in front of him. Also Canelo has had more time in the PPV game. Golovkin just started about a year ago. GGG has paid his dues with over 400 (amatuer + pro) fights. Along the way kind of got screwed in Germany by his promoter, good thing he moved on to K2. Has been doing progressively better with his numbers. He is 34 so he probably has 2 more years max fighting at peak fighting ability.

    He has said that it's not about the money but once you start making $1 mil+ it does become party because of the money so don't believe that part.

    At this point, if I was GGG/K2, I'd take the 12 mil, but the fight happens at the full 160 with 1 interim fight. This sets up for May and gives Canelo another shot to build up to 160.

    Yep however it will be tough for Canelo to cut so much weight to make 160:risas3::conejo::eusa_dance::loel:

    In my opinion the GGG hype train has been a bit intimidating, and the Canelo camp isn't quite sure, so they are milking Canelo as much as they can. Personally I think it is an even fight from what I can see. Golovkin has absolutely no defense. He blocks punches with his face. Golovkin hasn't fought a top level guy who also had power though, so Canelo and camp don't know if Golovkin has an iron chin or not yet. The Jacobs fight should answer that question though. If Golovkin has been staggered or visibly hurt in any of his previous fights, Canelo would have fought him a long time ago.

    That is exactly my point, you are not consistent with anything you say. You believe anything that suits your agenda or twist things to suit your agenda.

    Eubank Jr has either turned down, priced himself out or blatantly ducked Saunders II, Jacobs and Golovkin and instead fought domestic level fighters.

    You make excuse after excuse for Eubank Jr not fighting any of the above, not taking far more money than he gets for fighting in British title fights and the chance to fight the best in the division for world titles, yet you believe without any hesitation or confirmation that this offer was made without any conditions (for example a catchweight) to Golovkin and call him a coward because his team havent accepted this supposed offer immediately.

    I can't be any clearer with you than that, you need to take a step back and firstly be fair, look at it from every angle and try be consistent with your opinions because the lack of consistency makes you sound foolish.
