He wants to fight GGG but wants to get paid more than what he was payed for Quillin. Says GGG is the best of his generation and that a fight against GGG is good for his legacy. Says GGG is the pinnacle of the MW division. BUT HE RESUME DOE.
Jacobs (31-1, 28 knockouts) called Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) “the pinnacle of the division” and wants to win another title to enhance the matchup before they meet in a unification fight. “It’s the most competitive fight,” Jacobs said Saturday before a press conference to announce Jacobs as the new face of the “Brooklyn Boxing” lifestyle brand at Barclays Center. “I would like to fight GGG, but I just want people to understand my perspective and respect it and not look at it like, ‘Oh, he’s just trying to avoid GGG’ and stuff like that. No, I want to fight him. This is something for my legacy. I can’t retire and not say I fought the best in my generation – at least try.”
Jacobs referenced his fight with Peter Quillin and how Jacobs waited more than a year to make the fight, during which time his purse ballooned from a proposed $250,000 to more than a cool million. “I’m not going to fight a guy like GGG and make the same amount of money for fighting a Peter Quillin,” Jacobs said. “It doesnt make sense. Yeah, GGG is on the list but it’s all about doing it when it makes sense,” Jacobs went on. “I’m not going to have people force me — meaning those Twitter thugs or anybody else force me to fight somebody when I can make so much more (money). So am I wrong to want these things to get as much as I can possible from a fight that is at the top notch level? Hate me if you want but that’s what it is.”

the only ggg thread he's not in.
danny jacobs is speaking candidly. you should listen. and try reading between the lines, too, if you can. golovkin is a dangerous fighter, and these guys are ducking him.
I don't understand why you don't just change your avi. You're a fake andre ward fan. All you do is talk shtt about Ward stop being a two face and change your avi to a gg one Every gg thread you dicc ride him hard!
Jacobs seems to be NBS's flavour of the month. It was Lara last month. Before that, Quillin or Lee..until they lost their last fights.
You guys should get behind Eubank, at least he's actually wants the fight.
Unless, of course, that's why Jacob is being pushed so much on here. Because he's actually coming out and saying he's not taking the fight. Nah, that can't be it can it? :nono:
it was the same exact thing with quillin. ggg tried to fight him and he didn't want to fight. some pbc fanboys kept saying he needed to give quillin 5 million dollars since quillin was the b-side and that's how boxing works :smashfrea:smashfrea:smashfrea
I won't even waste a drop of saliva arguing about this fight. One is with HBO and the other is with SHO/PBC. Jacobs have spoken. He wants it on PPV. This would be similar to the Kovalev/Stevenson situation. And guess how many years would the back and forth blame game would take?
I read somewhere that Garcia, too, wants his next fight on PPV. Just some examples why this PBC thing will never work.
ppv=free right? that's the whole point of the pbc right? to give fans free boxing. now all their guys are fighting on showtime or ppv hmmm ok thanks for the crap i guess?

Mora is better than Monroe ..Adama..Wade...ect ect ect.
its true and thats why ggg ducked mora. his slick boxing skills prob would have beaten ggg. well im sure the judges would have robbed him but the real fans like you and me would have known the truth and the hype would have been over so esentially what im saying is that jacobs has already beaten ggg in a sense there's no need to even fight him
Putting in a full shift again? How long have you been at it? 9, 10 hours? How long have you been on welfare?
the nerve of you....you literally are and ATG awful poster :lame:
GGG has more bums on his resume than Jacobs....that's why ya'll think he's so good.
All smoke and mirrors.
Jacobs lost to Pirog when he was 23....
What was GGG doing at 23?
Selling Yak butter on the roadside:lol1:
Golovkin had a chance to fight Mora but chose the dreaded Adama instead..SMH
Jacobs thinks he can beat GGG and rightfully so.
Golovkin makes tons of mistakes against lesser fighters than Jacobs.
If you think GGG beating Jacobs is a foregone conclusion you are in for a shock.
Lol Mora. How do you live with yourself, troll? So pathetic

So you think Jacobs beats GGG.I want you on the record saying Jacobs beats GGG. I want to be able to laugh later on.
Jacobs isn't afraid to lose...he's been there..dude wants a fair payday.
He lost to Pirog when he was 23
What was GGG doing at 23:lol1:
And now that he's 29 years old he has an interim title and doesn't want to fight for the full title. SMH.

Fixed it for you. Jacobs knows what will happen if he gets in the ring with GGG. The dude just wants to cash out or fight bums like Mora for Haymon money. Disgusting. Hell i bet even you know what happens to Jacobs if he gets in the ring with GGG.
He's right. Lou Dibella said a couple of weeks ago that there isn't enough money for a GGG-Jacobs fight. If any fight needs marinating it's this one. GGG-Canelo is PPV ready. And with that deal Jacobs just made to become the face of Brooklyn Boxing they're on pace to marinate the fight.
I keep trying to tell ya'll nobody is afraid of GGG, they just want to be paid for the risk. Like Jacobs said, I'm not about to fight GGG for the same money I got fighting Quillin. And he's right.
There is no money in a GGG fight. That's why he has to travel to the UK to fight Eubank. Think about that for a minute. The IBF, WBA, WBC, undefeated MW champion of the world has to travel and is the B-side to a domestic level UK fighter. He doesn't have the money to get a domestic level fighter here over here. Canelo is bringin Smith here and Smith is the champ. GGG fans need to put the pressure on his team to come up with some money.
I respect Jacobs and what he said but If you say you will not face a fighter because the money is not good enough for that particular fighter because of risk, it is still essentially saying that you are scared to lose. We know pro fighters are not scared to get hurt but he is scared to lose, otherwise he would take the fight for good money, beat the most feared 160 lb. fighter since Hagler and start making real money as THE champ.
