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

[Scipio2009]

They've tried to fight Saunders two different times now, both times Saunders wasn't interested. I suppose it's K2's fault Canelo dropped the belt and chickened out of the fight as well, yeah? You can also blame K2 for Brexit, Global Warming and AIDS.

K2 lowballed the money offer to Saunders, and that's beyond obvious; $1.5m to Saunders for a UK live event, primetime broadcast in UK/German/Russia/EU, with HBO carrying a day/night broadcast (on top of whatever sponsorship opportunities for the show and whatever North/South America markets carry the matinee) was a sucker offer, especially with Saunders offering Golovkin an opportunity to unify all of the belts.

Between the money from primetime on BoxNation in the UK, primetime on Sat.1 in Germany, and matinee/evening on HBO, you're likely talking about more than $3m (assuming a 50/50, where Saunders gets $1.5m and Golovkin gets $1.5m) before even counting the live gate related revenues. you played yourself.

The path is simple, though it'd require some number crunching; figure what you can get for broadcasting the fight in primetime across Europe, add what HBO is ready to spend for carrying the day/night broadcast, project out what you'd think the live gate for a fight in the UK would be for Golovkin, gauge what you think the sponsorship interest in the fight will be, add up all of the projections for the fight and offer Billy Joe Saunders/Frank Warren 40% of the final projected take. If the fight does better than projected, the upside goes to K2 for promoting the bout.

That number is likely to be significantly beyond the $1.5m offer, but that's how you do business when you actually want a fight.

Clueless as always. They're not making offers for a fight in the UK, they don't promote there. You gonna learn some boxing one of these days? But go ahead and master grade school math first, please

Then explain why Jacobs has said I will spend more time collecting belts before I face GGG?

If you have an actual link to anything where Daniel Jacobs actually says he'd rather collect belts, please bring it forward. Otherwise you're just yapping bull****.

Golovkin-Jacobs is a massive fight; between the live gate for two fighters known in New York, the US TV rights (which may end up being on PPV, depending on how much a broadcaster backs their fighter), the TV rights in UK/Russia/EU (though the fight would air live at an ungodly hour, there's value to those deals), the TV rights in the Western Hemisphere (though Canadian/Latin American fans may not have super interest in the fight, the card is primetime here and stuff can be added to entice those audiences), the live event sponsors for the fight (Apple/Jordan being with Golovkin and NYC business likely being interested in the Brooklyn-born Daniel Jacobs), you're easily looking at $10m in fight revenue being generated, with the two main event fighters likely splitting up $4m-$6m, at least. lol

“Triple G is going to come at the right time,” said Jacobs to Fighthype.com. “When it does come, it’s going to be right for me on all aspects, and that’s the only reason the fight hasn’t been made. It will happen very soon. I would say in the next year and a half or something to that effect. I want to collect belts, and then go for the gusto. - Danny Jacobs, few days ago.

Jacobs doesn't want to fight Golovkin for another 1.5 years, in his own words. This is K2s fault, surely.

Daniel Jacobs will fight Sergio Mora (in August/September), the WBA will order Golovkin-Jacobs, Lou DiBella (representing Daniel Jacobs) is likely to win the purse bid (depending on how long K2 tries to stall things, the bid should be called by November), and DiBella will likely look to stage the fight February at the Barclays Center in NYC, likely for Showtime (SHOPPV possibly).

whether K2 actually goes through with making the title defense is on them (I have no doubt that, not unlike when Andre Ward made them change their prior spiel about "fighting anyone 154-168", K2 will come forward with some nonsense about not wanting to give up the Alvarez fight, to justify vacating their own 160 belt), the path is set for Golovkin-Jacobs to happen a lot sooner than is being acknowledged here, on terms that are more than right for Jacobs.

[Scipio2009]

Hahaha, yeah right!

nice try on the selective editing there; not even ten seconds prior, Jacobs detonated a shot on Mora's jaw, putting him down hard, and Jacobs, after coming in reckless to close the show, got clipped with a shot (that didn't even keep him down for a 4-count.

If K2 isn't going to be the lead promoter for the fight, "since it's in the UK", why have they not, since this is a fight that they've apparently wanted, not called Frank Warren with the price to get Golovkin over to the UK?

No different that Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Sport) calling Top Rank to see what it'd take to bring over Jessie Vargas, paying the ~$2m and US TV(likely also Mexico TV) rights to the fight to Top Rank, and Hearn staging the fight.

The sad part is that you know why K2 isn't operating that way; leaving the event in the hands of Frank Warren puts the discretion to decide key aspects of the show outside of K2. you played yourself

Who says they haven't? They made him an offer for a US fight, and offered to come to the UK. At that point it's on Warren. Of course he can't pay for that, so BJ gets an excuse from the usual excuse makers. You're backtracking anyway, you really thought they made him a 1.5m offer for a UK fight lol and went on and on about it

Why don't you ****ing google for yourself?

The fight against Triple' G 'will come at the right time. Whenever this fight arrives, it will be fine for me in all aspects, and that's the only reason why the fight has not been made. I know it will happen very soon. I'd say in the next year and a half or something like that. I want to pick up the belts, and then go for taste. It will be much more valuable rather than just do it at this time. I'll fight anybody, and I want to fight Triple ‘G’. My point was that I wanted to fight BJ Saunders or possibly Canelo, and then go for Triple “G".

There are many sources, I believe main source is fight hype.

I'm hearing Jacobs is only asking for 3 mil, NOT 4-5 mil

[al-Xander]

$4 - $5 million are ridiculous amounts for an opponent like GGG who detractors admit is not popular.

Nobody knows who Golovkin is
