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

    As one poster mentioned in another thread. GGG/Jacobs is just an equivalent of a LSC/Frampton fight. The offer doesn't have to come from one side. Jacobs can do it with Haymon's assistance.

    GGG is not yet Cotto A side level doe.

      why come out of pocket to pay legit opponents when you have idiots like Maxi and New England that will act like fighting a no name or being handed a belt is hall of fame or p4p worthy.

      he'll fight better competition when the network and public demands it. They already have the ready made excuse for the no names 1) mandatory 2) the best fighters ducking doe!!

        Golovkin's last fight had a main event payout of $2.5m to both guys; the fact that no one seems willing to ask Golovkin to give up a penny to help make better fights is laughable.
        $500K cap? For who? Guys like Wade? What was Wade really worth? What did Lemieux get paid? Golovkin holds 3 farking MW belts and is considered P4P. Any MW who beats him suddenly becomes the man and can start calling the shots. The truth is GGG's not a big enough draw to be able to offer opponents who bring no fan base $2 or $3 million. They all want retirement $$$.

                Game of Thrones finale generated 8.9 million viewers. Even Bill Maher's Real Time gets 4 million viewers every week.

                HBO Boxing is more like showing non-profit local news for public service. You'd wonder why they're still doing it.

                  Who the fuck is Danny Jacobs? Most casuals don't know who he is & most hard cores have hardly seen him fight, because he hardly fights! So he starched Peter Quillen (again, who?) & he's suddenly worth $4-5 million?? Last I heard, Jacobs was saying he's not ready for Golovkin yet. Now he wants a mint to face him? FOH!

                    Yup, pretty much. Not only that, but the hate is so strong people want to see GGG LOSE money in order to chase a fight with someone the same haters will dismiss if he were to win...

                    'Oh big deal, GGG beat Jacobs, Jacobs was flattend by cheddar cheese Pirogi and dropped by Mora'....

                    'Oh big deal, GGG unified the belts fighting uk-bum Saunders'....

                    These same people that want GGG to lose money chasing a fight (that iin the end won't do a damn thing to get these people's respect) also defend Canelo's duck as doing the right thing 'to feed his family'.

                    I'm pretty sure at this point the only thing that would get the haters to stop is a KO win over Ward/Kovalev (at 175 mind you, don't want weight draining as an excuse).
