Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I Don’t Fear Golovkin, I Just Want Fair Money

[champion4ever]

If only he could work on his defense and chin then he can become the complete package. Perhaps a new trainer would suffice.

Based on his comments saying its about risk reward I expect to see Jacobs to go back to fighting the same mismatches haymon hand picks for him. He won a paper title that nobody respects and his best name on his resume before this weekend was Mora who dropped him and the fight was stopped after a freak leg injury. Just watch he going back to one sided mismatches for jacobs.

GGG doesn't have anyone on his resume as good as Quillin. Jacobs also won his title in the ring while GGG did not.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

quillin actually let himself get tagged and stopped by jacobs so he can take the heat away from him vs GGG. #FACTS

Let him fight bums who cares nobody considers him the true middleweight champ anyway. GGG and Canelo both hold the titles that matter and are bigger named fighters. Both draw more fans and are more respected then jacobs so let him run and hide live in their shadows like the paper champ he is. Fool can't even draw more then 8k fans despite fighting in his own hometown. GGG selling out the big boy arena in jacobs hometown MSG, 20k fans. Canelo selling out baseball fields with over 35k seats. You will never reach that level fighting the guys haymon keeps hand picking for you.

Quilin has 1 win in the last year and half looked like crap in the lee fight. He hasn't looked good in a fight in almost 2 years. GGG beats quillin, jacobs or Lee. All of which have or are ducking him. Jacobs resume is not better then GGG. And quillin is not the same fighter he was years ago. This win would of meant more if we didn't already see quillin get dropped and look like trash this year to Lee. Last weekends fight said more about quillin then jacobs. We learned very little about him he is still suspect with a weak chin mora a fighter not known for power put him down and pirog knocked him the f out.

I'd be curious what he thinks fair money is. Is it fair money or is it $5M+ or something. That fight ain't worth $5M+ in his bank account. The guy has sold 150k PPV's ffs not 1.5M & Jacobs gots zero PPV's. This is the type of fight that'll get someone selling more PPV's next time around.

I think $2M-$3M is in the fair money region. I'm not sure how the cuts work when its a real vs regular champion situation if things go to purse bid, but I suspect $2M-$3M would be achievable there. If he's expecting $5M+ I think he's overvaluing himself & what this fight is worth. If it goes to PPV they might do 400k-500k max & maybe 350k-400k would be more likely where things land.

The bigger problem is the HBO vs PBC angle so its not a good sign on this fight happening that Jacobs might already be expecting money to buy his son new dentures when he turns 50 with this paycheck. I was momentarily hopeful on this fight happening in 2016, but thats gone into the wind quick lol.

Your opinion isn't relevant. Only the facts are relevant. If you choose to criticize Jacobs as part of your never ending war against Haymon, fine. Just do not forget the facts are the guy you love didn't win his title in the ring nor has he defeated an opponent as good as Quillin-who the majority felt beat Lee but got a bad decision

[Drunk Punch]

Everyone has an excuse when it comes to GGG.

[Dr Rumack]

Fighters need to define 'fair' when they say this stuff. It's a meaningless statement otherwise.

[Shadoww702]

It ain't happening!!! EVERYONE knows GGG's ppl are CHEAP as Fk!!!! It's half the reason why he fights soup cans. That and he gives the other guy 20mins to sign the contract. And if you don't then he'll look for another can.
