Originally posted by ИATAS View PostThis really isn't that difficult to figure out. 25% of anything realistic is not a big payday for Jacobs. If he was fine with not having a big payday, this fight would be signed. He wants a significant payday, thus the negotiations and wanting to avoid a purse bid. Everything Jacobs has ever said about Golovkin indicates that. He needs more than "two Peter Quillins" but "less than $10 million", etc. etc. etc.

Regardless of why they claim to have ducked GGG, it is clear that the fear of his power came into effect. He has knocked out 91.7 percent of his opponents and hasn’t reached the final bell since 2008, making him the fighter with the highest knockout percentage in all of boxing.
Given his stunning knockout ability, as well as his hunt to add everyone in the division to his hit-list, it is clear to see why Gennady Golovkin is the most feared man in boxing.

Seems they tried to play hard ball and lost their leverage in doing so.
Oh well just get the fight signed

Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostIf the fight goes to bid, as Jacobs and his camp seem resigned to do, Tom Loeffler has to bring the negotiations to the public, giving folks a chance to see how much of the spin was actually legit, and Loeffler has to weigh the package he's looking at against the package that DiBella is likely looking at (Showtime and Barclays Center both backing Jacobs' side with serious money).
Jacobs didn't like the money that he was being offered by K2 to go to HBO, Jacobs went to the WBA to try and change that weeks ago, the change didn't happen, and there's been radio silence since.
K2 may look for a bit more time, but the seeming facts aren't going to change; HBO's current package to K2, after paying Golovkin his money, isn't enough to avoid an open bid, and the open bid puts K2 in a bind.
