How much would a GGG-Jacobs purse bid bring in?

The trick to selling this fight is a strong undercard. Golovkin vs. Jacobs Crawford vs. Broner Stiverne vs Big Baby Miller Kovalev vs. Stevenson Briggs vs. Haye Callum Smith vs. Badou Jack Thats 25 million in purses. At $40.00 a pop it would do 2 million viewers, I know I'd buy it. 2 million buys might be low too. The **** talking and hype would be through the roof. I'd pick Jacobs, Crawford, Stiverne, Kovalev, Briggs, and Smith to win. that's the kind of cards MMA does, and what boxing needs. but these promoters and their egos. Jacobs doesn't really provide any value beyond being a mandatory challenger. Why would K2 potentially lose money to sweeten the pot for DJ? A win for GGG does nothing but satisfy WBA obligation and some hardcore fans. K2 could definitely play hardball. but I'd like to see this fight.

$3.5-5 Mill tops

Thats why I said 2 million buys might be low, it could set records at a cheap 40.00 a buy.

This fight likely does business on par w/ Lemieux...GGG is the draw vs a guy with limited name recognition. Purse bids will be similar, and Jacobs vacates because of the $$ Lemmy got 1.5m as a primary titleholder who has a fan base in MTL. Jacobs wants more than 1.5m as a secondary title holder with a following in NYC. To Jacobs, the value in this fight is the $$$, then the belts and recognition. As a mandatory challenger, he is free to vacate his regular title, but where does he go from there? A fight vs BJS for less money and less risk of getting beat the eff up? Waiting till GGG falls off? That wba regular is really the only thing keeping Jacobs relevant, him being a potential foe for GGG. Without it...nada.

This won't go to purse bid. It is really in nobody's best interest for it to go to purse bid except maybe a wealthy Russian Promoter. If Jacobs wants the fight, which he says he does, the fight will happen. Every promoter that has worked with Loeffler, says that he is very reasonable and easy to work with. Jacobs will be making 7 figures regardless, and there is a good chance he will be fighting at home. Take the money and take the risk for your shot at stardom.

I think this comes down to who calls who's bluff. Is GGG able to fight off HBO or is Jacobs willing to take a smaller purse than he's been calling for. I don't see this fight getting made.

If Jacobs wants $2-3M guarantee like he said, Haymon would have to bid $10M (75-25 split for GGG as super champion). More realistically though I think the bid will be $4M. With GGG getting $3M and Jacobs accepting $1M guarantee. He's not going to accept that, I think we all know he wants more than 1 Quillen for this fight. K2 needs to start at 1.8 and probably around 2.2 should be enough

I don't see this as being much bigger than Lemieux and GGG. Don't remember what their purses were in that, but I'm guessing somewhere in that ballpark. GGG- $2 million Lemieux -$1.5 million Not sure if either made extra anywhere else but those were the announced purses

I think we all know Jacobs wants more and probably significantly more than the 1.5 million he made vs PQ so if they can't come to terms and this fight goes to purse bid Jacobs as the challenger only gets 25% of the purse correct? In that scenario the bid would have to be upwards of $8 million for Jacobs to be guaranteed his $2+ million payday.. This fight won't happen unless they come to terms before hand because Jacobs rightfully so will not fight for less than at least 2 or 2.5 million dollars. And no way anyone bids enough to get him that payday I don't see this as being much bigger than Lemieux and GGG. Don't remember what their purses were in that, but I'm guessing somewhere in that ballpark.

Jacobs knows if it goes to purse bids then he wont get his >2mil share.. DiBella/Haymon bid 5mil for Wilder & Ryabinsky won by bidding 7mil and Wilder had a legitimate title.. I dont see the purse bids going over 5mil in this case at least.. I can see a winning bid of 4-5mil.. Happy to be wrong..

It's a good fight but it doesn't make a successful PPV in anyone's world and I can't see huge viewership figures on regular. I'd say HBO wouldn't bid more than about $3-4 mil at the outside which is maybe what they were talking about (in total) for the Saunders fight which I think they really wanted. Haymon? We'll see how deep his pockets are and how much faith he has in Jacobs I guess, but his depth and most US viewership are in the US dominated divisions 140 - 154 and he'd be smart to spend his money there where he wins on both ends. Bidding high on Jacobs would likely be a costly gamble, unless perhaps he tries to bluff or upbid HBO as part of a longer term goal.

I can't see how this fight gets anywhere near that money. This is a flop fight. Jacobs is a no name in his hometown itself. At best he can expect a ppv and same payday as Lemieux.
