Why can't Team GGG pay Jacobs the 4-5 mil he asks for? Khan made 13 mil vs Canelo

How come you can't pull £5 million out of your ass?

golovkin doesn't pay jacobs anything.


HBO buys fights, and the two sides negotiate terms [IE how much money each gets.] there are other streams of revenue for these fights, but the TV money and the gate are the big ones.


canelo and khan was on ppv, where the fighters agree to a garantee and a split of the TV and gate revenue. in khan's case he also brought UK tv money.



why would danny jacobs deserve several times what golovkin has made in his biggest payday?

if you look at jacobs' TV numbers they are flat out bad. he did less than 400K average in the biggest fight of his career.



these guys are pricint themselves high becuase they don't want the fight, not because they're holding out for what they think they're worth.

these guys are doing math. risk = reward.

good post.

Stuff like this is what happens when the market is distorted by a flush of big, temporary money. Not to bash PBC, but without their willingness to take losses on their events, guys who have not proven themselves as reliable draws (Jacobs, Quillin, etc) would not be making million dollar pay days, but rather $$ within the framework of what revenues the event itself can generate.

The WBA has always been like that, back when N'Dam was interim champ, Golovkin pushed for the fight, the WBA called the purse bid and N'Dam vacated.

We're reaching the point where Jacobs' unwillingness to fight Golovkin or any other top MW is clogging things up. Time to force him to do something.

Time to force that old foreigner to do something...

Jacobs has a better resume than Gigi....plus hes younger.

You can't prove any of that feminized bullshi.t.

I'm still waiting for proof Jacobs demanded 4-5 million.

Do you have the facts to disprove me? I'm speaking from business sense. Either you are uneducated on business and economics, or you have an agenda to push. My posting record speaks for itself, I'm as objective as it gets on here. What about yours?

[El-blanco]

Jacobs got offered the same amount he got for fighting Quillin. Which was too much considering what a flop that fight was. He rather fight guys like Mora for a third of that money. its clear its not even about the money. The guy is just a big pu$$y.

Countless articles have documented the losses of PBC you ****in ******.

[Chollo Vista]

Let me guess, the only reason Eubanks is supposedly set to make upwards of 4 mil is because he's famous in Europe.

Where there's a will, you guys will find a way to defend Team GGG

Jacobs didn't. His trainer said 4 mil in an interview off the top of his head last year in December.

I just used that number as a placeholder. Jacobs never said that himself.
