Jacobs will never recover from ducking his mandatory.
GGG will never recover from dropping the belt because his thing is all the belts.
If he dropped the belt he's not getting that Canelo fight.

Don't blame the fighters in this situation blame HBO, a network trying to play Promoter as well keeping fights from happening
These belts are worth less every day & I think situations like Quillin's, Canelo's & potentially this one along with all these guys who seem to lose belts on the scales these days suggest to me the fighters know this too.
So if this fight doesn't pop off & HBO won't let GGG fight off of HBO or K2 wins the purse bid for $6M give or take (which would mean Jacobs gets $1.5M which is the same he got for Quillin) I can't fault either fighter for Caneloing their belt.

I disagree. Quillin dropped his belt to get future nice paydays. I don't see why Jacobs couldn't do the same such he starched Quillin to build up his own name now.
If HBO won't let him fight off of HBO & a PBC promoter wins the purse bid what choice does he have?
He's not getting the Canelo fight already lol.
Tom Loeffler tells me he'll reach out to the Jacobs side today.... #boxing

On the HBO side its a contractual issue. And like it or not, & even I don't like it like I've said in numerous threads + I've said that I think all network contracts should have a purse bid out to them, but the reality is HBO is under zero obligation to "rent out" their fighters they have exclusive contracts with. On the Jacobs side I could easily see this fight not being won on a purse bid number by K2 that would provide him with enough money for this fight to make sense based on his previous paydays.
I don't really see the good & evil you & others seem to see here. Its kinda effed up, but HBO & Jacobs are completely right to feel the way I'm suggesting they could feel about this fight being made under various ways that are likely if it goes to a purse bid.
I don't see anything stopping this fight or either fighter vacating

HBO allowed Pernell Whitaker, who was under exclusive contract with HBO, to fight JCC on Showtime ppv. So it's been done before.
It would make for an intelligent tactical maneuver by HBO (given their current state), if Haymon put up big money and agreed to put Golovkin/Jacobs on Fox, NBC, or CBS, to allow the fight and bring Golovkin back a much bigger name due to the exposure.
