    If that is the case (I have not followed it) there are three options:
    1. Both teams agree to a fair split and work together to hype up the fight, so they have much bigger purse to split. Seems the most pragmatic choice, if both promoters believe their man has a chance.

    2. Goes to purse bids and the more confident team raises the stakes and then tries to raise the fight profile on their own. Probably smaller purse, but potentially bigger cut.

    3. One of the two fighters walks out and loses a lot of respect.

    I'd love to see the fight, so I hope they go for No1. There's more then enough fame and money at stake. Unless Canelo's team are far from certain about his chances...

    Golovkin holds the WBA and the IBF belts at 160, he's also the wbc interim champion, it should be 50-50 or 55-45

    Is Povetkin the Unified HW Champion? :nut

    He became mando through conventional methods and the standard rules dictated his split of the purse.

    For the last time the only reason GGG is a unified champion is because he has been ducked as the mandatory and made other fights in that time frame. This is very simple. This situation is nothing new.

    Um yeah that is the whole point of having mandatory opponents so fighters can't handpick like Canelo has been doing. So it is either fight or drop the belt.

    canelo is the only big fight for the triple duck

    Problem is Canelo isn't going to be able to make 155 forever. GGG can take the belt if Canelo drops it then they can fight down the road. GGG still has Jacobs and Saunders he can fight. Canelo is painted into a corner.
