No announcement yet.
If GGG was at 147, would he still be ducked?

Should they give Jacobs the 3-5 million he wants lol...
sound familiar? And so with Jacobs, three WBA defenses.. As if 2-3 million NOW is absurd? You probably don't realize that Golovkin has the Super, so if he wants to prove to a lower status Champion he can win, then it shouldn't be a problem to pay. It's not complicated.

No ones ducking him now. He's been called out by Mora, Ward, Lara and now Jacobs is saying he'll fight him for the right money. That's not a fighter who is being ducked.

1. Is it bad to unify titles now all of a sudden?
2. He will fight anyone regardless of who the promoter is. Wanted Martinez he was with Dibella, Sturm, Lemieux, now BJS..all with different promotions.
3. Paper? Anytime you win a title, you're a champion. I guess Canelo is a paper champion as well because we know he is not as good as GGG at 160?
Jacobs is only a champion because the WBA is a ridiculous organization that has 3 title holders in every division. He's a paper champion in your words. $2 million is not ridiculous but 3-5 is absolutely out of the realm of possibility considering Jacobs-Quillen did terrible numbers and sold only 8500 tickets in their home city.
Jacobs don't want any part of GGG anyhow. He can just hang out on his side of the street and be happy...I like DJ but he's just another guy for GGG to beat.
