Danny Jacobs: GGG is the best of my generation - Will fight him when money is right

He wants to fight GGG but wants to get paid more than what he was payed for Quillin. Says GGG is the best of his generation and that a fight against GGG is good for his legacy. Says GGG is the pinnacle of the MW division. BUT HE RESUME DOE.

Jacobs knows he gets stomped out against GGG, he'll never fight him because he'll never earn $10M like he wants.

Whats wrong with you mate? All I expect from fighters is that they try to fight the best in their division. When they ask for unrealistic money they simply price themself out. Jacobs can make 1.5mil vs GGG (may be) - that would be his career high payday. He would gladly take that purse against any other MW but not the one he himself calls the best.

Imagine how 'Motorcity Cobra' would be talking if it was Jacobs holding the 3 titles and Golovkin the interim belt, and Golovkin saying the fight needs to be bigger so he can maximize his purse. And then Golovkin goes and has a rematch with Willie Monroe so he can "build up his popularity".

These guys make it sound like Jacobs would have to take a pay cut to fight Golovkin. Guys who fight Golovkin make more money doing so than when they fight anyone not named Canelo. Jacobs would make more vs Golovkin than Lemieux did ($1.5mill), but Jacobs is saying that's not enough?

When it comes to fighting Golovkin, guys like Quillin, Jacobs, and Saunders want that 'Come to Die' money.

What risks has GGG taken??

He hasn't shied away from facing anyone in his division. Saying it would be a "risk" in your own division is ducking.

Yup. And while Jacobs is about to headline another card in Brooklyn on network TV, GGG will be in the UK fighting a domestic level fighter on a Matchroom card at 5:00 pm in the US.

Well, Jacobs will be fighting in front of 3,000-5,000 people while GGG will be in front of 10,000-20,000 and getting worldwide exposure. Furthermore, Eubank would destroy Mora with ease just as GGG will destroy Eubank with ease.

They know that after a devastating loss like that, their careers are most likely done, so they might as well try to get set for life.

20,000 minimum. Hearn says they're still considering Wembly Stadium (possibly Olympic Stadium as well due to Golovkin's friendship with the West Ham owner).

All the more respect to David Lemieux, who even Andre Roizer rated over Danny.

Hbo will pitch in, but theyre not bankrolling a UK fight, there's sky ppv for that. Why do you expect issues with sky though?

Because Eubank was talking about this last night. He said to the media why are they NOT putting pressure on Skysports to make the fight, he said his son wants it, Eddie hearns want it, Team GGG wants it. He said why are the British media saying they are stupid for wanting the GGG fight, instead of praising his son for wanting that fight they are telling him he isn't ready for that fight yet etc.. He said the first dollar should GO to the fighters (Junior) and then the broadcasters, promoters, managers etc can take whatever they want but that the first should go to his son/fighters. They are ready to sign off that fight on Monday (27/06/2016) and the same day that Skysports are meeting Eddie hearns. This actually made me believe Team Eubank jr want this fight 100%.

(1) GGG does not have a friendship to the co-owners of West Ham, yes he appeared at a West Ham game recently but not because he had a friendship with David Sullivan or David gold.

(2) The olympic stadium does not belong to West Ham, if the GGG-Eubank fight happens there it would be through the people who runs the stadium on behalf of the taxpayers.

(3) West Ham are a tenant in that stadium.
