    Your question is incomplete:

    "Has anyone ever declined a 15 million payday in a $100 million (!) fight".

    GGG does have the Middleweight Belts. He got time. Canelo has to come see him, he is the one moving up. So if Canelo cares about the Belts, then they are going to have to sweeten that deal. It works both ways, there is nobody that will generate more money for Canelo either? I don't think Mayweather is trying to fight him, and I doubt if Manny does either. So, both fighters make the most money, fighting each other. So, GGG does not have to take 15 million, he can push for more. Plus, maybe I am wrong, but in the eyes of most, Canelo is the one for a lack of a better term, ducking.

    Exactly. There's no way canelo will stay at 160 and NOT try to win the MW belts. His ego will now allow him to stay and be the second best guy in the division w/o putting up a fight.

    I know you're not very bright, but I'll try to knock sense into you anyway. Its very simple. You only need to look at facts to determine 15 mil is beyond great for someone like Ggg.

    1. How much did BHop make against ODLH?
    2. How much did Canelo make against Cotto?
    3. How much was Cotto guaranteed against Canelo?
    4. How many HBO Ppvs has Golovkin sold?
    5. How many viewers did Golovkin get in his last HBO bout?

    Using those facts, how is 15 mi justified as a low ball offer for Ggg? I'm willing to hear ya out.

    Don't quote a post of mine and then ask some question not pertaining to it. Feel free to ask me about these two after the Jacobs fight ASOL. In the meantime, pretend you won something and shout with joy. Seems to be what you like to do.

    Why is there no onus put on Golovkin when it comes to making fights, dude turns down money less than 10% of fighters make and it's no problem, fights subpar guy after subpar guy still no problem, has a 1000 reasons why he can't take a fight still nothing.
    That **** is ridiculous Alvarez is more accomplished as a fighter, has a better record and resume, and is vastly more popular how is this even a argument.

    Canelo-GG won't sell more than Canelo-Chavez yet y'all want Golovkin to get paid likes he's fu(king Floyd Mayweather.

    Whether he's been the draw in a fight or the clear b side GGG fans will argue to death about why this or that isn't fair, you guys are a damn embarrassment.
    Quite honestly Golden boy is more generous than me I'd offered 3mil and 25-30% take it or leave it. Ain't nobody ducking this chump he just has an overinflated since of self worth, this dude thinks he's Manny,Floyd, or Oscar and the dumba$$es who cosign it is why this fight has yet to be made

    Canelo just lost a 8.5 mill $ judgment against him.

    Even his Khan purse of around 13 mill $ won't be enough to cover it after taxes and lawyer expenses.

    He then has to take care of the business at the higher weight, which isn't a foregone conclusion.

    He needs money fights to pay up his lawsuit: he doesn't have the right to screw-up.

    The pressure's on him at the moment.

    Canelo is very young and has just entered his prime. He has many fights in his future and many million dollar paydays. He has endorsement deals in the U.S. and in Mexico. He gets paid in U.S. dollars and Mexican Pesos for every fight. The revenue from live gate is ridiculous also, with 50K in attendance in his last fight against a no name fighter.

    Canelo will continue calling the shots until a new Cash Cow is born.

    I'd like to know what world you live in but I've read nothing but whining and complaining for weeks on how GGG isn't accepting Canelo's offers. And considering he just signed to fight Jacobs the Subpar opponent thing is out the windows as well.

    Wake up from your dream world.

    Canela didn't win a single rd vs PBF, uses his youth to fight in unnatural weight class, getting an unfair advantage, and is afraid of GGG.

    Boxing fans are ridiculing him, he's starting to age, his PPV numbers dwindle, and now will have to enter a heavier division, where nothing's guaranteed.

    Canela looks on his way down.
    How deep will be the fall?
