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

[NEETzsche]

Yeah and it was a PPV that more than likely lost them money.

Back to the highest bidder for the fight but HBO will be an obstacle for GGG getting big fights

if they can give jacobs $1.5m then he should take it. it's equal to his highest purse to date, equal to what golovkin's last opponent was paid in a unification fight, and better than he'll get against anyone else in the division except alvarez. let's not forget that quillin and lee only split $1m when they fought each other, so i see this $1.5m dollar pay day as more of a blip. he's probably back down to ~$500k for the eubank jr and blanco fights

Winner of lee/de fight will also be unification and will get him same amount i bet without the hassle of dealing with HBO

And after the PPV bomb i also see GGG 2 mil as a blip.

not necessarily. like i said, quillin only received 500k to face lee earlier this year. what makes you think jacobs will get $1m more than that for the same opponent?

That was the undercard fight for Garcia/Peterson. Garcia got $1.5 and Peterson got $1.2

belts are worthless these days but to some they are worth something and this will be 2 champions in a unification fight. And if whoever wins the other fight will have a respectable win, title, and that will jack up price. In NY if Lee wins or UK if Lee loses. In UK might even be bigger

Not really. 168 is just as trashy, and 154's manufactured CW class has come unglued.

I don't know about that?? I like in no particular order to give GGG a run for his $$$

James DeGale
Anthony Dirrell
Andre Dirrell (Last man to beat GGG AND both times were VERY close)
Badou Jack

ALL are better than any of the other 160lbers not named GGG of course.

And then went up some only to bomb. So back down he goes. He needs a name to go back up and Jacobs is it.

Because they only paid Monroe Jr $100k.

lemieux received a $1.5m guarantee against golovkin

Then how did Lara out price himself in the GGG sweepstakes? Wasn't he asking for only 1mil?

I'm sure they probably think Canelo would jump for joy at $2mil.
