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

[Bandman]

nothing to see here..just a duck doing what ducks do.. ducking.

[daggum]

every single thing he said describes how he is ducking. support me no matter what, this is a super megafight(not its not), i deserve to be overpaid, how many mora's does he have to fight in order to make what ggg offered? he only made 500k the first mora fight so 5-6 moras?

[Bronx2245]

I just hope the WBA orders this fight to be made in 2017! Jacobs should either fight GGG or be stripped by the WBA. If they both win their fights, contracts should be signed no later than December!

Exactly. These dudes are scared and have no confidence in themselves. Fighting GGG is only worth two Quillin's? Really? And what if he actually thought he could beat GGG? Get $3M to fight GGG, beat GGG, then you get to fight Canelo and make $15 mil or something. How many Quillin's is that lol? Then beat Canelo, and suddenly with his story, and having beaten two of the biggest stars in boxing GGG and Canelo, with his exciting style, he is boxing's next superstar, pulling in 700k+ per PPV now, making $20 mil a fight. After 4 more years $20 mil per fight, two PPVs per year, he's made $80 million.

How many Quillin's is that lol? But these Haymon fighters have no vision, no belief in themselves. They're so scared they expect themselves to lose their first big fight, so they demand that one fight's payday has to be enough for their whole careers. They don't actually go into fights with a fighter's mentality of "this payday is fine, it's fair, but it doesn't have to be anything crazy because I'm going to win and get even more next time. Or even if I lose, I will get the rematch, or I will go get other big fights, because I know my talent, and I will always come back."

Instead they apparently expect to lose every big fight, so that's all they care about. "This is my last fight, I'm going to lose, so I demand a huge payday to make it worth it." What kind of mentality is that?

Yeah well, don't forget he already got destroyed by Pirog so he's been there and done that before. But generally you are right. I don't remember diring his early run that Mike Tyson's opponents were all saying you gotta give me twice my career best money to fight him.

Definitely at the moment Haymon's incursion into the sport has stopped many good fights happening in a timely manner. Sure some good fights have gotten made but he's really messed up the minds of his boxers. they have all become 70% businessmen and 30% fighters - instead of the other way round.

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

Maximum respect to David Lemieux for stepping up with a proper title and in his first defense he fought GGG. I hope he got well compensated and I hope we see him back in the ring quickly again. He is the sort of fighter fans ought to be getting behind.

A.Garcia talks about fights in Salka's instead of currency, Jacob's talks about Quliin's instead of currency. Thanks Al.

If, say, 2 Quillins= £3m, which he turned down; and he's calling the fight a 'super fight'. He's going to be disappointed , as i don't think the demand for the fight is a big as he seems to think.

When did Jacobs turn down 3 mil? Just keep making sh.it up to boost up your argument.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Can it coward, no one is going to pay you 10 million to fight GGG, so quit pretending like you want the fight when you are just name dropping to stay relevant.

Where does it say he wanted 10 mil. You GGGTARDS can't be taken seriously cause you guys always have to make sh.it up. You're incapable of keeping it real.

Brooks getting 4 mil. At the very least Jacobs should be getting that. And that offer came from Eddie Hearn not GGG's people.

[BoxingFan85]

Comments like this make me, a hard working citizen who earns 0.14 Quillin's at best, feel sad about my life.

Hey that's 2x more than what Wade made or 7x times more than what Brand made.. So keep your chin up mate..

[Hougigo]

There's no good excuse, like ever...just stop talking about it
