Jacobs-Mora in Vegas, September 9th

[Eastcoast]

Sad. The new face of Brooklyn Boxing and with the new fighter health insurance rule going into effect, Jacobs looks to have lost out any more fights in Brooklyn.

Being a co-main to Cruz/Frampton would've been better than fighting in front of 2-3,000 people at the Cosmo on Friday Night Fights. Atleast he's fighting the night before Golovkin, so come next Monday, the WBA should finally order the fight. With the purse-bid being a 75-25 split in favor of Golovkin, Jacobs won't have much leverage in negotiations.

Danny Jacobs is finalizing a deal to return on Sept. 9 against Sergio Mora in Las Vegas, possibly at the Cosmopolitan, Jacobs advisor Keith Connolly told Ri ngTV.com on Thursday. Jacobs would then turn around and fight again in December, hopefully against a big-name opponent, Connolly said.

Jacobs was nearly penciled in to fight July 30 as the co-feature to Leo Santa Cruz-Carl Frampton at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. But he was pulled so he and Mora could headline their own show. Mikey Garcia will now face Elio Rojas on the July 30 bill.

Brooklyn’s Jacobs (31-1, 28 knockouts) hasn’t fought since December when he stopped Peter Quillin in just 85 seconds. The first time he and Mora fought in August, the two traded knockdowns in the first round. The fight was ultimately stopped in the second round after Mora could not continue because of an injured ankle, and Jacobs was awarded a TKO victory.

Can you elaborate? I vaguely remember Arum or someone complaining about new insurance rules killing boxing in New York but I remember thinking it was an exaggeration

The HBO Boxing Podcast explained it as the promoter would have to put up 1 million dollars per every fighter on the card (including the 4,6, and 8 round, untelevised fights) for the insurance. So basically promoters would be spending 10-20 million on insurance for each card.

So basically they just don't want boxing in NYC anymore is what they are saying.

It's backlash from Magos injury

Big wins don't lead to anything bigger in the Haymon side of the sport. Takes years if anything. Pathetic.

[animelive]

He is gonna get 100k viewers on free tv again and NSB dwellers will keep asking why a GGG fight is not happening when he asks for "only" 4m dollars. All these divas in MW are ruining the division.

They obviously didn't think it through. Or maybe they knew this would end boxing in NY and that was the intention, idk
