Golovkin is already a winner , no matter what happens in the rematch

[apollo creed]

Let's face it Golovkin is old and probably Canelo would outclass him in the rematch but Golovkin would get his biggest paycheck of his career and he can chose to retire. Golovkin made around 30 mill. $ from the first fight. I expect he'd make 50+ mill. from the rematch.

Though I had GGG winning the first fight comfortably, I was rather surprised how effective Canelo was in those spurts where he stopped backing up. I'm very curious to see what would happen if Canelo didn't retreat as much as he did in that fight. Would he have gotten knocked out or been more effective overall. I'm sure Canelo is sick of hearing about the robbery and the way he chose to run the whole fight after saying he'd go toe to toe. So i think that means he's not going to do it in the rematch.

If GGG knocks him out then I think he moves into the rare air of the greatest Middleweight boxers in history. I already have him up there but a KO over Canelo should also make the anti GGG crowd soften up about his legitimacy to historical importance as a fighter. I also think that GGG is doing this for history and not as much for the money.

Indeed, Canelo was backing up Golovkin when he was throwing his combos. Probably if Canelo would've throwing his combos more frequently there would've been some good chances to see him gassing out pretty badly around rounds 8-9 and then see GGG chopping him down. In the rematch if Canelo doesn't improve his stamina and his work rate I could see a similar fight like the first one unless Golovkin is getting old and faded overnight.

If Golovkin beats Canelo I can see some people saying that Charlo is the name to be beaten to get 'the real recognition'.

I kinda doubt he actually made 30 Mil for the first fight. Where's your source on that?

I'd be pretty surprised if he got paid that kinda money.

I don't doubt he made 10 Mil, but 30? That'd be pretty damn shocking.

What is the fight purse?

Golovkin and Alvarez will both earn a record amount from the fight, with Canelo and GGG guaranteed $20m and $15m respectively.

How much could each fighter earn?

But the total sum each fighter will earn will depend on how many people purchase the fight to watch on television.

If, as expected, the event does 1.5 million views then the two fighters will double their money. (they did 1.3)

Overall estimates suggest Canelo could earn $50million and $33million for Golovkin.

I think GGG with all incomes made around 30 mill.

Fair enough then

I'm honestly surprised that fight drew THAT kinda money, but I'm glad to hear it. GGG deserves paydays like that after the Champion he's been.

My impression was Triple-G was going for the KO because he was concerned about an almost certain robbery...

Canelo seemed to feel that if he survived the 12-rounds the fight would be awarded to him... That's why he retreated so much and was so difficult to knockout... Any 27-year-old boxer-puncher with Canelo's fistic abilities -- and over 50 professional fights -- will be almost impossible to stop.

I was hoping that Golovkin concentrated on his jab and boxing much more ... and used his height and range more effectively.. Boxing so dominantly that 2 of the judges would feel forced to give him the decision.. It was almost certain to go 12 rounds -- and so is the rematch.

He deserves these big paydays after Sturm, Quillin, Martinez and Cotto avoided him.

My impression was that Canelo was like a tank in that fight but with a small fuel tank and Golovkin was like a machine gun.
