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

[_Maxi]

You saying he becomes a star doesn't make it reality when GGG isn't even a star, he's still building his name. I swear man you act like GGG is this huge star when he couldn't even do 200K PPV. He isn't Oscar where somebody fights and beat him then all of a sudden they are the golden goose.

you are a bit delusional when it comes to GGG man, his star power isn't high and Jacobs beating him(if people even buy the PPV cause Jacobs doesn't really have a following) isn't going to automatically make Jacobs a household name. They both have some building to do in that department. Now what about that don't YOU understand?

GGG isn't a household name because he isn't american. Jacobs is american. Do the math, fool. You can't call yourself boxing fan. WTF defending a duck.

What are you talking about?

GGG is bigger in the US than Jacobs.

Danny Jacobs beating Golovkin would get maybe 2 days of coverage on Sports Nation and Max & Marcellus.

Some of you are seriously overestimating how many people give a flying fuck about boxing here in the States, and how big of a name Golovkin is here in general.

Don't confuse a Canelo-GGG fight with anything else over here.

It's the only "blockbuster" fight that can be made.

He's right. Lou Dibella said a couple of weeks ago that there isn't enough money for a GGG-Jacobs fight. If any fight needs marinating it's this one. GGG-Canelo is PPV ready. And with that deal Jacobs just made to become the face of Brooklyn Boxing they're on pace to marinate the fight.

I keep trying to tell ya'll nobody is afraid of GGG, they just want to be paid for the risk. Like Jacobs said, I'm not about to fight GGG for the same money I got fighting Quillin. And he's right.

There is no money in a GGG fight. That's why he has to travel to the UK to fight Eubank. Think about that for a minute. The IBF, WBA, WBC, undefeated MW champion of the world has to travel and is the B-side to a domestic level UK fighter. He doesn't have the money to get a domestic level fighter here over here. Canelo is bringin Smith here and Smith is the champ. GGG fans need to put the pressure on his team to come up with some money.

You think Saunders should get what Thurman and Porter just made combined? He's not even popular or liked in his homeland

Maxi you really are ******ed. How all of this is going over you head is beyond me.

You say GGG isn't a household name cause he isn't American then point out that Jacobs is American, but Jacobs is even less known than GGG. You make zero sense. It's ok man, we all know you like GGG and want every fighter to make every concession to fight him. The fact that you think people are defending a duck when we are actually pointing out your flawed logic in thinking fighters are gonna take short money for a higher risk shows how little you actually know.

Maxi actually thinks Jacobs beating GGG is really gonna make him a star when GGG isn't even anywhere near a star. How delusional can you get?

I didn't say Saunders. I'm talking about Jacobs. See my thread for an explanition as to why I think Jacobs shoudl get 2.5-3 mil

HBO can put their money where their mouth is if they want these guys to fight GGG. The Eubank certainly want that fight with GGG which am truly shocked about, the only thing stopping the fight from happening seems to be Skysports, they have a meeting on Monday so everything should become more clearer by the end of next week.

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?

So what Daniel Jacobs is trying to say is he thinks hes worth $2 million to face GGG.

Nobody is going to pay him that much. He hasnt done chit, a fight with him isnt any more interesting than a fight with any other cab driver that GGG has been facing.
