Jacobs is completely unlike Lemieux. Jacobs never fought for the IBF, is not ranked by the IBF. Lemieux is an IBF fighter. Jacobs never weighed in the same day before, no need to do it now
Dont make it too complicated.
He wanted all belts, so he has to adhere to the rules of all organisations he is fighting for, in this case WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO.
He missed the second weigh-in, so he doesnt have the right to fight for the IBF. That's it.
maybe he didn't know about the IBF weigh in until now, who knows? why would he fight under IBF rules when he has never done so in his career, for an WBA mandatory no less. There are still 3 other belts at stake so maybe he was referring to them when talking about belts
If you reached any higher youd look like MJ in spacejam

You mean to tell me Jacobs was not aware that the IBF had a second day weigh in rule, that is clearly relayed to them in their fight terms once it is agreed the IBF belt is on the line in that unification? k den..
Why would he weigh under WBC rules for a WBA mandatory "no less"...
When did the word "all" only mean 75% of something ? also.. IBO LOL.
So why did he do the 30 day and 7 day weigh ins if he wasnt mandated to do so ?
Why has he gone on record stating his intention to bring "all the belts" back to brooklyn if he never had any intention of adhering to the rules of a sacntioning body of one of those belts ?
Are you saying that he only cares about the WBA belt? if that's the case he isnt very good for boxing and unifying the division is he? if GGG was also mandated to fight his #2 but can adhere to his other sanctioning bodies rules..

Jacobs is a WBA fighter. Only rules that should apply to a WBA mandatory are WBA rules. Jacobs did Vada testing because he believes in a clean sport, not because of the WBC.

Ok youre Just a troll. Good bye.
No, this was a fight for the WBA title, and the WBC, IBF and IBO too. All the rules should be respected.
Like I said and you ignored, Jacobs followed the WBC rules during all training camp. Even did VADA testing as requested by the WBC.

Like I said, this is a WBA mandatory. Jacobs has always fought under WBA rules and he's doing so now. Completely consistent. Fought Quillin under those same rules

The IBF title was on the line. Therefore the IBF rules were on play too. Just like Jacobs did the 30 days weigh in and 7 days weigh in of WBC.
