What's Team Golovkin's Offer to Jacobs?

[about.thousands]

Uh you might wanna redo those numbers. 6m lbs is like $9m. You'd think he's talking lbs, but $6m is already way implausible

lol yea i ****ed it up. I meant 6mil pounds equals $9 mil. So when he days he'll be 6 mil heavy is he talking pounds or dollars

And to answer Deanrw and the rest of the folks that speak on behalf of Team Golovkin for what's appropriate pay for GGG's opponents and what's not and think it's ok for Team Golovkin not to make any offers to Jacobs, please don't make any references of Jacobs ducking GGG especially if you guys are going to use this kind of rationale (i.e. it's not about the competition, but the "belts").

I also have to add. If you are going to make an argument, at least make it consistent. I would have no problem with GGG sending Jacobs an offer, but this is on Jacobs. GGG is at a higher standing. These damn fighters out there stating to the press that they would love to fight GGG someday for umpteen million dollars makes them look cowardly. Did you see GGG stating he wants Canelo for 10 million? Or he will fight Saunders but he wants 6 million? Of course not. Those dudes want no part of him unless they get their retirement pay.

Everyone seems to be out there after GGG for acting professional. All these others looking for excuses for not fighting him all get a f***ing pass.

Both guys said they'd fight GGG for outrageous money. I'd prefer Jacobs though , slightly more interesting fight. But its not like he brings more credibility or resume. He also doesn't bring a belt for GGG to unify, which is clearly very important to them

I think Jacobs would be the most dangerous fighter GGG has faced to date.

Lemiuex has similar power to Jacobs, but his delivery isn't even close to being as efficient as Jacobs. Lemieux is very robotic and lacks the ability to box. He had T-Rex arms and was very short on all his punches. Whereas someone like Jacobs combines speed and power in his delivery while having close to a 90% KO ratio. He offers intangibles that GGG hasn't seen yet.

In my eyes, Jacobs is the most dangerous opponent to GGG.

Ok, so since you can't give me a clear answer, let me ask again:

1. Why do you speak on behalf of Team Golovkin's financial management team? I think they are capable of talking through the media on what they think is fair and not fair, don't you?

2. I'm no business man, financial adviser, manager, etc. Are you?

3. If so what are you and your buds credentials?

I just want to see the best fight the best and don't really care about "belts". Now, if this is something GGG and his team are interested in, they are more capable of addressing it through the media. I'm not sure why you're attempting to pass on what YOU think Daniel Jacobs deserves as fact.

ducking used to be i'll fight sharmba and zab for 4 and 5 million instead of the 7 million offered to fight margarito, but now ducking is ggg didn't offer jacobs the same deal as saunders therefore ducking? you don't even know what the saunders deal is!

ggg's team already has leverage against jacobs. jacobs is wba interim champ which means that fight will be mandated soon and jacobs can't get away unless he gives up that belt. ggg has no leverage against saunders. the only way saunders gets in the ring is if they offer him a lot of money.

I also want to see the best fight the best. I am not ****** though, and can tell when someone deliberately throws a wrench into the gears before the voyage even begins. So many of you guys on here seem to always make this about GGG and how it is all his fault and how it is on him. It seems so focused for some reason. We see more bull**** coming from those who are his potential opponent, but the focus needs to go back on it being his fault every time

What's with your scary obsession with Floyd Mayweather and feel the need to bring his name in any topic being discussed?

The man is retired, let him be. Much more interesting things in boxing than talking about FMJ.

Again, are you a financial adviser, manager, etc for Team Golovkin? I'm not. Are you?

The reality and fact of the matter is is that you don't have a single clue on what Team GGG can and can't afford. It's not your place to tell me or anyone else what you think Daniel Jacobs should be compensated for and pass the numbers along to me or anyone else as fact.

You are a fan of the sport, like myself. You and your buds and not accountants or financial advisers for Team Golovkin; so please stop.

[SilverMiles]

Are you interested in belts or the best of the division fighting the best?

Saunders and Jacob is on the same level. But one is a titlist and undefeated.

[Chollo Vista]

Saunders and Jacob is on the same level. But one is a titlist and undefeated.

So it's about being undefeated and belts, correct?

And BJS and Jacobs are not on the same level. Jacobs is the much more dangerous of the two.
