Good breakdown and I think Yuzo posted a gif awhile back of Loma doing something like that and saying that he can get caught IIRC. Hopefully axe man make it rough since he bigger/stronger and becuz I think Loma has the advantage outside but yea it should be a good scrap fasho.

They are paying him accordingly.. Thats why he's getting a career high payday of $10 million... according to his ppv flop and merchandise sells

The problem isn't us thinking its a great offer .. The problem is people thinking its a low ball offer.. He has done nothing to prove this offer isn't fair.. cant compare him to Pacquiao.. cant compare his offer to anyone else.. name any other fighter that was the obvious B side that made more than $10 million that isn't Pacquiao...

We will see
I like Loma but Walters is one of my favs so I will root for him

Loma didn't have as powerful, precise and big opponent as Walters so far.
Loma's biggest weakness imo is that he goes too close to the fire without getting extra protection on. He mostly relies his nice reflexes and angles butthat can easily backfire against someone as cunning and powerful as Walters. If Loma isn't extremely cautious Walters will get him. I can't imagine tht he could play the same thing against Walters what he did against Roman Martinez, to roll around him, up close from many different angles, peppering up him with barrage of punches. Walters is much faster then Roman Martinez both physically and (and most importantly) in head too.
Of course Walters has his defensive holes too so that's a chance for Lma too.

It will be very interesting nevertheless.

I'm curious who will get the better off if the fight stays on the outside.

Something tells me that Walters will win but at least that Loma's chin will get tested on this fight

My biggest scare with walters is conditioning. other than that its a tossup.



I do think Walters can be vulnerable defensively at times because he super aggressive and I don't think Walters has mastery of footwork that loma does but his range and 1-2 is gonna give loma problems.

I get what you are saying, but my point is that until we truly know the numbers of what they are budgeting the revenue at, we can't say $10 million is fair or not.
If it turns out $10 million is say 1/3 of the pot, I would say it is fair. But if $10 million turns out to be 10% of the pot, GGG is not wrong telling GB to kick rocks.

That is what I mean when I compare it to the Pacquiao situation. The casuals thought Pacquiao was getting a great deal at $40 million flat fee. It sounds great, but we didn't know how big the pot was. If Pacquiao made $40 million and Floyd got $60 million, then I think we could all say it would have been a fair deal. But of what the total pot ended up being, $40 million was nothing.

And when it comes to fair split, I argue it should be when a fighter directly affects the revenue of the fight. I don't think Pacquiao should have had to pay Bradley anything crazy special, because Bradley doesn't affect the revenue of the fight that much. But in this case, I think the GGG-Canelo matchup directly affects Canelo's income. Because of GGG, Canelo will make more. Canelo should still get the larger split, but GGG should be compensated for making Canelo more money.

We could go all day/everyday arguing about what is fair. As long as the revenue is a fair split of the total event revenue, no one should have a problem, regardless of whether GGG makes less than $10 million, exactly $10 million, or more than $10 million.
