Oscar should just come out and say he promised Spike a big payday and Canelo needs a tune-up after knee surgery and year long layoff :yeshrug:
Little g has said multiple times he's not going out of his way to fight canelo again. He said there was only a 10% chance it would happen. just a few days ago loeffler said damn near everything was in place for the fight to be finalized on both sides. Don't think he would have said that if oscar was bullshytting. Sounds like Little g just wants more than he's worth. He really believes he's in control now but he's not. It's cool that he wants to puff his chest out but he better face reality. Canelo is still the biggest draw in the sport and little g is 36 years old with no other big money options. Charlo, jacobs, or Saunders wont even get him a 5 million dollar purse. Canelo can make mega millions fighting Jacob's, charlo, or Hurd. Every fighter from 154 to 160 would give anything to get a fight with canelo because it's life changing money.

Little g is in a no win situation here. Dude is gonna let a 20 million dollar payday go because of pride. He has no leverage whatsoever. He couldn't even fill the stub hub. He's ready to go the way of many Pacquiao. Where everybody stopped caring about him after the floyd fight. Little g's drawing power is steady dwindling and it's only gonna get worse if his next fight isn't against canelo, charlo, or Jacob's. Nobody will pay to watch him fight anybody else. Little g can bytch and whine all he wants. He will never have the clout to bully canelo in negotiations.

Triple g is making a big mistake.

If he didn’t care about the money then why wait all that time to face canelo?

If he doesn’t care about money then this would make sense, I wonder if this is triple g or his team demanding more money.

It sucks for boxing.

After all the cheating bullshyt that has transpired, I can understand why GGG would want a bigger split this time around. :francis::manny:

but, even a tainted Canelo is still the bigger draw and the A side of the event. I think ole boy pipe dreaming asking for 50/50, but its his career and he gotta live with the consequences of his actions. Both can front, but they make the most fighting each other.

As a boxing fan, I'll be happy if we got the rematch or Canelo vs Jacobs and GGG vs Charlo:obama:

but as a boxing fan, I gotta taper my expectations since we'll prolly end up with Canelo vs Spike and GGG vs Randomchenko:aicmon:
