Stephen Espinoza is already marking his territory with Danny Jacobs. Jacobs won't be an easy fight to make. If Haymon allows Danny to fight GGG on HBO, he'll piss off Showtime even though Jacobs/Quillin only drew 385k viewers.
Showtime boxing chief Stephen Espinoza has from a distance admired the work of middleweight knockout artist Gennady Golovkin. But he thinks Golovkin may be running out of opponents.
While Golovkin is signed exclusively to HBO, Espinoza spoke enthusiastically of a matchup between IBF/WBA titleholder Golovkin and Danny Jacobs, the WBAs regular champion. Espinoza cast doubt on Canelo Alvarez facing his mandatory Golovkin (35-0, 32 knockouts) this year, paving the way he hopes for a potential match with Jacobs, who usually fights on Showtime and PBC cards.
What hes done is impressive, Espinoza told ******.com on Tuesday of Golovkin, who destroyed Dominic Wade in two rounds on Saturday. He hasnt fought a Murderers Row (of opponents). But he has clearly been really effective against everyone whos been put in front of him, and you cant really ask for more than that.
The WBA has recently said that if Alvarez doesnt agree to face his mandatory Golovkin in the fall, it would try to make Golovkin face Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) in an attempt to consolidate the WBA middleweight titles. If that happens, HBO and Showtime would presumably have to figure out the mechanics of a joint broadcast.
It doesnt sound like Golovkin-Canelo is imminent so I know there was talk of Golovkin-Jacobs being ordered, which I think obviously is a marquee fight if that goes to a purse bid or a mandatory, Espinoza said. I hope we can avoid some sort of network conflict because that is I think one of the more interesting fights left at 160. Im not sure what else there is for (Golovkin) to do at 160, given where the division as a whole is right now.
Why the hell would Espinoza say they hope they can avoid a network conflict? It's well know GGG is signed to HBO, Danny's not signed to Showtime.Comment

Monroe is a bad fight for Khurtsidze, but Derveyanchenko is a bad fight for Monroe. I'm really disappointed in Deveryanchenko and Khytrov's last two fights. DiBella's letting me down.
lol Anybody who has any faith or hope in Dibella or is still under the impression he's a promoter needs a reality check guy is a puppet and ********** nothing else.Comment

Not really imo he isn't as mobile as N'Dam plus he doesn't mind staying inside at times. I think Avtandil would grind him down.
