Daniel Jacobs will KO GGG... Mark my words!!

[Eastcoast]

Your post, like others in this thread, seems very hypocritical and unfair.

There is very little criticism when certain fighters negotiate for the best purse possible. When others do it, posters equate it to being scared or ducking. When certain fighters take step aside money, it's also seen as an indication of fear yet when others do it, its seen differently.

I don't see how anyone can say Jacobs is scared or doesn't want to fight just because he wants as much money as possible.

Jacobs had every opportunity to negotiate for the best possible purse, now the negotiation period is about up and the purse bid is Monday at which point he gets stuck with the 25%. If Jacobs fails to accept a deal before the purse bid, at which time he'll receive the 25% deal and then decide to vacate, then yes I consider him to have ducked the fight.

What other negotiations are you referring to? Each is unique to itself. Jacobs doesn't have much leverage. He's not a draw and he's the challenger. What am I missing? He's not being offered cheap money by any means, especially looking at his prior earnings.

If you're referring to Canelo/Golovkin, it's a different story. The fight's not til Sept. 2017. If Golovkin was turning down the $10mill offer and the deadline was a few days away, I'd be criticizing the hell out of Golovkin. He'd be a fool to kill the fight over even a few million dollars. The upside is too important. Same aspect with Jacobs, it looks like he's killing the fight either b/c he doesn't want it, or b/c he wants a little more money. I imagine he's being offered around $2mill, there's not much more money in the pot than $5-$6mill.

Idk. Look at David Lemieux. He never had to fight Golovkin, he just won the IBF title and he had a great environment back in Canada where he could've made a lot of money as another Lucian Bute. However he took the risk and fought Golovkin.

We talk about risk/reward all the time, if Danny beats GGG he's an instant star. He becomes a flag ship for Showtime and the PBC, where they'll invest way more into him. His sponsorship deals go way up. And he's in line to fight Canelo for even bigger bucks.

So all this talk about Danny needing 40%, when his last two shows have completely flopped (vs Quillin - 386k tv, 8,442 attendance, vs Mora II - 547k tv, <6k attendance), I don't get it. Jacobs isn't a draw and he doesn't have any big money options after this (unless Haymon overpays him to fight Charlo like he did against Quillin).

If Jacobs loses to GGG, his career will pretty much be in the same spot it's in if he vacates to GGG, unless he looks good in defeat, in which case he'll have created himself some future big fight potential.

The issue is that if he can't get more than 25% and refuses to fight, guess who gets the blame for the fight not happening...

I wish GGG would let Jacobs hit him like he let Wade hit him.

I wish GGG would try to outbox Jacobs like he outboxed Pepe Le Pew.

none of those things are gonna happen.

After seeing what a basic just barely average fighter like Pirog was able to do to Jacobs - GGG may kill him in that ring. Jacobs better ask for 2-3M to fund his retirement account

I actually had jacobs winning some rounds there till he got clipped... dumbest thing he did was lay there and not try to get up.

He was asleep. What could he do?

yes cuz in boxing we've never seen anyone almost completely gone only to comeback and win the fight. Yup that NEVER happened.

That may be the dumbest thing you've ever poster, which says a lot!

[lopetego]

Jacobs is months away from becoming an unworthy bum who never deserved to be champ

thats what GGG haters will call him after GGG knocks his ass out

[TudorMiron]

Ok, I' ll mark them. When time comes I'll bring them back

Same here. Words marked

[TudorMiron]

He will. Trust me.

Please tell me that your only hope is that Danny KO's him in first round. Before himself gets touched with a jab or something?
