OMG,so they Quillin/Jacobs last year to be held Feb of this year.... instead Stevens, Macklin and Jacobs are turned down in favor of...Freaking Gavin Reese

Asking people around the #boxing industry, most believe that Peter Quillin will end up facing Danny Jacobs, FWIW

The three biggest reasons on the top of my head are

1: Haymon does not want to risk another one of his prime undefeated fighters to lose against another Top Rank fighter again. (think Russell Jr)

2: Haymon wants to be in control, and does not want to give JayZ anything.

3: Quillin got cold feet.

We can all pick and choose. Any single or multiple selection probably fits. They all might fit.

if its any of these it would have to be #2 because Jacobs is a better opponent than Korborov.

If quillin fights Jacobs-he is fighting the better opponent for less monwy-not something we usually see in boxing today.

Very bizarre.

I wonder if Haymon can get him anything close to the same payday if that happens.

Still ****** to drop his belt rather than fight his mandatory for that money. It's not like Korobov has proven himself some world-beater Quillin can't beat.

I think at most he could get him a million... but honestly, not a lot of guys make more than that a fight and Showtime already gotta drop money for some of their other main event guys

good strip that coward he shouldent even be champion anyways.

Quillin is the biggest fraud in boxing

I can't imagine Showtime can afford to pay for all these fighters to make the paydays Haymon is known for and has them used to. That's probably why so many of his fighters are fighting twice a year and at least once against crap opponents. Showtime would have to pay too much for the good fights.

Something there has to give eventually. Either Haymon fighters fight on HBO again or they make less money.

Although I suppose taking Mayweather's paydays off the books starting next year frees up a lot of money.

Man this is a new level, a new low for the sport. Unbelievable.
