@patscorpio,
@LauderdaleBoss, update from GGG's team:
Why Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin won't happen anytime soon
“I made a formal counterproposal to Golden Boy which would guarantee Canelo not only the A-side billing in the marketing of the fight but from a financial standpoint, it would be clearly his biggest purse possible for any fight out there,” Loeffler said. “Naturally, it would also be Gennady’s biggest but I think this offer was skewed the wrong way. It was pushed as so big to Gennady, but you have to remember, at the same time, it would be Canelo’s biggest also.”
Loeffler said he was willing to concede many points. He’s not interested in battling over venue or things such as who walks out first and who is introduced last.
His goal is to get the fight done while maximizing the revenue potential.
“Our proposal to Golden Boy is that we would go wherever the maximum revenue would be,” Loeffler said. “We’d give them the final choice if the bids were competitive or equal. The location won’t be negatively impacted from our side. Gennady has proven he can sell out in New York, L.A. and London, so whether fight is in Las Vegas, [Madison Square Garden], Texas, if they make a bid, we’re not going to be sticklers. Wherever the best offer is, we’re OK with.”
Follows up what I was saying earlier today. GGG will clearly and admittedly assume the role of a B-side, but as a B-side who brings a lot to the table and makes the A-side money he can't get elsewhere. And from what we know the offer made by GB was the first financial offer, GGG's team would be crazy not to counter offer and try and move GB into splitting a bit more.
#s w a draw.
..it will get me through that
