Yup, they sure don't want to make the fight... I mean, they already pushed their own fight date back, extended the date so they don't have to go to bid and aren't trying to make the fight at all :sBreaking: @GilberticoWBA told me @TomLoeffler1 has applied for an extension in talks for GGG-Jacobs so purse bid won't be ordered today.

So how did K2 all of a sudden enforce a date they already chose and ruined everything for them? They already knew the fight was going to be mandated, what am I missing here?.@DanielJacobsTKO back in the gym ready for whoever is next 👊#BrooklynBoxing #TeamJacobs pic.twitter.com/0yrB4Ccktw

Also, had to shave his little beard off his face too to make sure he absolutely made 154... can anybody even make a case for "natural" weight class? If anything he's a guy fighting to stay in a weight class he's too big forThe Challenger @Canelo comes in at 154lbs 🇲🇽 #CaneloSmith pic.twitter.com/d2JuZR2Bil

Also earlier there was an article about how K2 was looking into new markets, Texas being one of them!Golovkin vs. Lemieux set a Madison Square Garden record, selling over $120,000 in merch inside the arena for the event

WowRead somewhere that GGG is wearing Jordan tomorrow and an endorsement deal could be right around the corner. That's major. #boxing

So we negotiate a fight for Josh Clottey against Erislandy Lara for short money just to get the shot and lo and behold @Laraboxing says no

When did he become such a boogieman? First Canelo and then Lara? YikesUFC 190 Prelims on FS1: 1.322M viewers from 8-10p. PBC on ESPN: 1.073M from 9-10:57p

So with 100M homes on free T.V, he does about the same as when he's on HBO.
Maybe the final four effected it.... 3 hours later.@yvonmichelGYM says that attendance in Quebec City was 4729 #boxing

Kovalev/Pascal brought in 3 times as much.IBF ordered 147 eliminator between @Timbradleyjr & @AmirKingKhan. IBF said Khan turned it down. So next up to face Bradley: @frankiegavin1.
— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) April 3, 2015
Man... first he doesn't want to fight Brook, then he avoids Bradley to avoid Brook a step further.
This guy really things he's going to get the Mayweather fight? My bad, Algieri is more legit than Bradley and Brook....
SMDH, what's this guy doing?
Can't wait for Mayweather to pick Brook over Khan and his salty reactionWord is that HBO isnt going to do Cotto***39;s next fight unless there***39;s a commitment to do Canelo next. They want a safety net #boxing
— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) March 22, 2015
LOL, having to force him to make good fights....So last weeks show in Ontario used 1iota, a seat filling company to make the arena look full last Friday n ight... #boxing
— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) March 17, 2015
I have a feeling that business will be good for 1iota the next year or two at certain #boxing events.

— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) March 4, 2015
just.....wow....Rumorville is humming. Is @RealMiguelCotto going to sign a deal w @RocNation sports?!!
— Michael Woods (@Woodsy1069) February 22, 2015
I heard this before then saw this.
Plus side, no crappy unifications with Quillin or Jacobs or whoever.
Also Roc wouldn't make a Bradley fight because it'd bomb worse than Martinez fight.
K2 and Roc have worked with each other before, albeit very shortly, and they'd work together again for this
