Eubank Jr. expected to pocket $4M for Golovkin fight

[Tomjas]

Right so you're aware the money comes from the network that is willing to buy the fight, where is the network that is going to put up that kind of cash for Jacobs or BJS? You and others are saying K2 is cheap, how can that be if the money is coming from the networks? You think K2 doesn't want money for fights

Yep

Plus it's common knowledge that HBO's budget for boxing has gone through the floor

Idiots on here have been saying that GGG is HBO's *****

Now he signs for a highly lucrative fight on Sky and it's all "why not Jacobs on HBO?"

Couldnt make this **** up

Well, you could but anyone with half a brain would dismiss it

Nice discussion girls! We'll be talking about unifiying all the belts in ohhhh 2019? Because Loeffler, an American smart ***, has no idea how to find money! Brilliant. That's a first!

[Lester Tutor]

lol what are you rambling on about? Saunders has turned down Golovkin and Jacobs, he obviously isn't interested. Are you seriously arguing that k2 and Golovkin DIDN'T want to fight BJS? Even the biggest Golovkin hater can admit BJS is an easy fight so why would they possibly avoid BJS?

Wait Saunders turned down a 3-4 million deal he himself demanded? Where's the report on that!?

Funny how the Lil'G cheerleaders try to confuse readers with ducking, or as they say, "Lil'G didn't want to fight them.." has what to do with a promoter and real boxing fans justifying how deals are made? lol always at NSB Boxing Champions

[HeroBando]

lol. Why would Saunders make the offer? He only has the WBO and can cash himself out towards Loeffler if they really WANT TO UNIFY otherwise Saunders can just brand himself for future fights defending the WBO in the UK.

but but unifying all the belts is what Lil'G wants doe! 3-4 million too much doe!

"derrppp. what's prize fighting?!" - Loeffler

Because K2 don't promote in the UK, idiot. Jeeze. If it's in the UK, the Brit promoter makes the offer. A good promoter with a marketable fighter and sky backing can make everyone happy. Weak promoter + unpopular fighter + box nation = no ppv.

Yes. If you read my first comment you'll see I said Eubank Sr did a good job of pressuring the networks to come up with the money to get the fight made. You commented in the thread when people were saying Jr is going to duck the fight over money. That turned out not to be true. Jr doesn't have a long term contract with Matchroom. He's only there for three fights. He turned down a fight with Jacobs and a big money fight with BJS. He took a gamble and it paid off it seems. He's taking another gamble, the gamble to be great because he's nowhere near ready for GGG.

K2 needs to put pressure on HBO to come up with the money to make the fights. They didn't even pressure them to make the Cotto or Canelo fight. That's my problem with Loeffler. He took the formula that worked for Wlad and applied it to GGG. Get the belts and fight the number one contender. But it doesn't work like that in the lower weight classes because fighters can move up or down. As you see with Eubank, he's not ready for GGG but he made the fight for the right amount of money. He wasn't going to fight him for $1 million dollars. It's not fear, it's money that's stopping these fights from being made.

Are you fucking crazy? People want GGG to come to the UK and fight BJS or DeGale or Eubank Jr.

The only place Jacobs could sell was Brooklyn and thats only because of Quillin.

Do you live in the UK? Does GGG fight on Sky or Boxnation?

[casheddie]

It's impossible for cheap a** K2. Eubank aint even as popular in the UK as GGG is in America. And GGG ain't as popular in the UK as Jacobs is in America. Crazy how Eubank Sr can pressure the networks to pony up the money and is son has only a 3 fight deal with Matchroom but GGG with his long-term deal with HBO can't come up with any money.

That's why I stopped arguing with those people in my thread I wrote about Jacobs wanting a reasonable purse. Matchroom is putting on bigger fights than HBO with one of HBO's featured fighter.

Do you live in the UK? Does GGG fight on Sky or Boxnation?

He fights on Boxnation but I'm not from there

I have never seen "GGG didn't want to fight them" ever on this forum stop making shit up to prove a weak argument.

That's where GGG fights are broadcast in the UK
