    True. But also Canelo vs someone else would only be 1M ... the fight is greater than the sum of the parts

    1 mill is better than 150k... I'm not sure if GGG can really sell on his own. Canelo is consistent at 300k for an average opponent.

    Oh, Canelo is the bigger star, no question, and it's not particularly close. But GGG is still a star in his own right and both together makes a true superfight.

    What was Oscar's offer again?

    I seem to recall it was a McMeal, a can of beer and a special oily back rub from Oscar himself :naughty:

    Mayweather needed two dance partners to market himself as a PPV attraction in the beginning; Oscar and Ricky Hattton.

    Then he retired and Pac Man obliterated both of the above. He came back and he kept the public begging for the Pac fight.

    Rule number one - always leave them wanting more.

    They all claimed Oscar was being to generous.

    Nay Sayer said it wouldn't do more than 500k... Or that it would be lucky to do that much. :lol:

    If that's what it did then I am very happy for both of them. They fought their asses off.
