At 10:20 he confirms there was an offer, just not enough money.
Starts talking about GGG at ~7min mark. Says there's just not enough money right now to make the fight and stands by his 'year & half' stance.
Says he doesn't understand why GGG wouldn't fight Lara.
Great work by Nestor getting the tough questions through.

Jacobs knows exactly what's going on. Lara wants the fight. Daniel wants him first.
.................
It's literally so stupid. They should penalize these guys and put losses on their records and win on GGG's since IMO turning down a fight should be the same as forfeit. It's basically quitting on the stool without getting into the ring.
HBO should have learned their lesson. Canelo-Angulo sold like **** and so with this Smith fight. They will make literally next to nothing. They need to pressure Canelo into taking the fight. Haymon needs to slap some since into this boy too. Jacobs isn't making any fight bigger by staying inactive and not fighting anybody of note.
Jacobs won't fight GGG because of the money, GGG won't fight Lara or Ward because of the money.
Thank God Ward stepped up and signed to fight Kovalev
Difference being, Jacobs calls himself mw champ and is really Gggs Mando. And that finally coming due.
So this thread is why all of the "heres my thread to show why GGG isn't great and why I'm mad" is going on today. :lol1::lol1::lol1:
One of the guys that was considered a challenge to GGG has punked out. So instead of focusing on the guy being the sissy, they choose to make the guy being avoided look bad.
Nah. Motorpity has a legit obsessive/compulsive disorder and would be making those threads regardless.
Since Jacobs and others don't want the fight, I'd like to see Loeffler finally pursue the Lara fight aggressively. The tweeting and the fake call outs have got to end.

He doesn't understand why GGG didn't take the Lara fight...yes he does. It's the same reason why Jacobs won't fight Lara.
Jacobs, your biggest fight performed horribly in the ratings. Listening to this interview, the viewer would assume that Jacobs is a bonafide star.
that's completely irrelevant.
this is canelo alvarez. this is a 1 million ppv hit fight.
GGG would rather fight canelo than take whatever step aside money which will never come close to the amount of money he can make by sharing a ringw with canelo.
ok then go to 155 make the fight and lets be done with it.
Hell, Jacobs could fight Lara a lot easier than GGG could since they both are advised by Haymon. If Lara won a middleweight belt GGG would have a good reason to knock the noisy but dull Cuban out. Sure, Jacobs wants lots of money to lose his belt and his consciousness in a fight with GGG.
what you say in response to Eastcoast sonning you on the 2nd page? :popcorn:
I acknowledged my mistake and corrected myself and laid blame with HBO and ODH, What more was I supposed to do.
I corrected myself to lay blame with solely with HBO and ODH. GGG is only to blame for the selection of a weak opponent.

Isn't waiting a year and a half to maximize revenue the same position GGG is taking relative to Canelo?
This post right here is embarrassing.
Nothing else needs to be said about it.
He's not that stupid. He knows there are a lot of stupid fans in boxing. He doesn't care about the smart ones. The stupid ones are majority, that's what he thinks.
He can think whatever he wants, his methods don't work. He has yet to prove he has any idea how to create a star in boxing.
jacobs' time is almost up - wba will force the mandatory between super and regular champ before year end. ggg and jacobs both fighting in september so unless jacobs decides to walk away - and hence give up belt - then he's going to have to fight him soon. let's face it, without that belt jacobs has nothing (even though everyone knows that belt ain't worth ****.
