Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I'll Fight Golovkin Before Canelo Does - For Right Money

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Daniel Jacobs believes he'll challenge Gennady Golovkin for middleweight supremacy before Canelo Alvarez ever embraces that dangerous fight. The WBA world middleweight title-holder wants nothing more than to upset Golovkin and earn recognition as one of the best boxers in the world. It's a career-defining fight the Brooklyn native expects to happen sometime in 2017.

2-3m should be more than enough but he sounds like he wants 4-5m(not close to 8 figures) lmao gtfo cancer boy.

Whats wrong with these haymon fighters, who would rather fight 4 salkas, 2 quillins lmao

Fight aint happening with that bullsht mentality

[Motorcity Cobra]

what's the point of his career if he's happy with the jr belt and doesn't want to be world champ? I understand he took a KO loss early in his career to a great fighter and had to battle back from that and cancer to get to where he is today. But he may as well retire if he doesn't want to be world champ. What's his end game? To keep fighting Sergio Mora?

“It didn’t have the potential to make what I believe was fair. I made a career-high, on record, of $1.5 million for the Quillin fight. And to have it kind of close to that, I was like, ‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.’ So let’s up the numbers just a little bit to make me happy. I’m not asking for no crazy double digits [eight figures] or anywhere close to that. But do me right, man.”

Ouch, so he was offered more than 1.5m, prob 2 but 2 Quillins could also mean 3m unless hes acknowledging his purses are dropping. But it won't take 8 figures lol. What's the odds on Danny dropping the regular belt if that mando gets ordered next? Bjs Wbo is the most valuable belt in boxing at the moment

Danny seems to think people don't understand him wanting to get paid.

Of course, we do.

I think most people just ask the amount he requests be at least realistic, whoever he is fighting.

Jacobs will be WBA champ next year. The fight will go to purse bids which Haymon will win and Lil G will drop the title because he won't fight off HBO.

Jacobs is another 'Quillin' . When wba will tell him to fight GGG or get stripped ?????????????

Jacobs right there admitted why the Haymon welfare model is ******....dude just said he could fight 2 Quillins for the same money than a Golovkin. The PBC killed itself by paying way over market value...the generation thats out there are spoiled but hopefully the next will have realistic views of what they're worth in the real market, since we're starting to see purses dropping accordingly.

And somebody wrote a topic asking why the middleweight division was considered weak

He's ****** because he couldn't make that much money the second time around facing Quillin. That fight isn't worth that much. He's just talking non-sense
