Comments Thread For: Lederman Wonders Why Jacobs Isn't Fighting Gennady Golovkin

[NEETzsche]

The new president said that he is open to working with Al Haymon but as long as the match ups were good.

herschman also said that he was open to working with haymon. the "ban" is wildly exaggerated. haymon's business practice is absolutely predatory and he's not willing to compromise or share whatsoever. although there are a lot of things that i like about PBC, especially in theory, i just ultimately can't shake the feeling that haymon is the wrong man to be top of the pyramid in boxing

These people will do anything to avoid GGG

Fact that Lederman is wondering means network issues only exist in people's imagination.

Bottom line is, enough of the speculation.

TRY!! and see what happens.

They didn't ban Haymon. HBO bought the rights for Quillin/Korobov and was going to show Ortiz/Stieverne. In both those fights Haymon pulled his fighters out.

HBO didn't buy the rights to that fight. ROC nation did. Which is why Haymon did what he did.

Ha an interview? Here's a video of Golovkin admitting he won't fight Ward because he's too much.

Coward Style.

You dumb ****, you probably didn't see the whole video did you? People are really quick to fall for edited down **** without full context.

The video is from 2014, and he was explaining he had Geale in front of him and that the talk about Ward, or Chevez, was too much to worry about. Around 11:05 of the original video he explains this when the interviewer asked for clarification.

You dumb ****s love to talk crap about his English until the translation issues suits you,

There is plenty of times GGG has publicly said he'd fight Ward. He once asked for 50/50 remember.

Dude posted GGG's letter to Ward.

Actually, Ward only speaks up when GGG became mandatory to Canelo.

And Ward has the audacity to complain GGG is trying to fight the, laughably, smaller Canelo. But Ward himself is trying to fight the smaller GGG. Just like Floyd's hypocracy.

GGG haters are funny. They wouldn't need to twist everything he says if they didn't hate so much.

By the way, Ward currently claims the GGG fight will never happen. Team GGG publicly told everyone they'd look at it again in 2017. Only a half a year later than Ward wanted it. Take that for what it is.

He probably should, but I'd like to see him in a couple of more fights
before he gets demolished.

Meanwhile, @GilberticoWBA continues to offer no explanation for why GGG-Jacobs has not been ordered. Fact: GGG's side ready for that fight.

@TomLoeffler1: is this true? Are you waiting for us to mandate @GGGBoxing v. @DanielJacobsTKO? https://t.co/1sidC4McDB

This is funny. You are the sanctioning body. You mandate it. Again, talk is cheap. https://t.co/2m3rdw5l6g

Easy to talk, not so to govern a sanction body. All stakeholders must not only agree but accept the decisions https://t.co/sFls6krJPC

— Gilberto J Mendoza (@GilberticoWBA) January 30, 2016

Damn, that last tweet from Mendoza is almost like he's admitting they don't want to lose the extra sanctioning fee. With Quillin/Jacobs having a $3mill purse, that was probably $150k they made.

[Nightfall]

how's about why little G is'nt fightimng Jacobs ? oh thats right. little G has a contract with HBO dumbass lederman

[Eastcoast]

HBO didn't buy the rights to that fight. ROC nation did. Which is why Haymon did what he did.

HBO agreed to, they couldn't actually proceed beyond that because team Quillin wouldn't even respond to RN, simply waited til the end of the deadline and gave his resignation to the WBO. And Haymon's supposed to be looking out for the best interest in his clients, not his own.

You are making a bunch of useless points. The point is that ha nothing to do with HBO. That was all about Haymon vs. Jay Z. You saying HBO bought the rights to that fight is factually untrue.
