Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: If WBA Issues Order, Jacobs Fight Can Happen

[CaneloMaidana]

WBA and their co-champions. Super and let's not forget about the other 5-6 belts they give out per divisions. Undisputed, Unified, Intern, European, Silver, Bronze, Pink, Yellow.

If your a promotor and have $$$$ they will give your fighter a belt.

And still they won't sanction Golovkin.

Why does this nutt hugger keep lying???

All Jacobs wanted was better money than he got fighting Quillan.


Show us where he wanted a non reasonable number

Calm down with the nutthuggery comments & the criticism towards random numbers I'm throwing out with these guys wanting more money than fights are worth. Whatever Jacobs wants for this fight I don't believe its a number that'll be reasonable to make the fight happen. If this fight went to a purse bid & we got a true fair market value for this fight I'd bet its not enough to make the fight worthwhile for Jacobs to take.

Plus lets be real with GGG being a important HBO guy & Jacobs being an important PBC guy I don't believe this fight is gonna be makeable due to that reason alone, but if things were to get past all that chaos I believe Jacobs to not want this fight unless its a career high payday & lets be real neither of these guys are THAT f#cking popular to command some $10M purse split or something like that. This is like a ~$6M fight ($3.5M-$4M to GGG, $2M-$2.5M for Jacobs) at best I think. Or around that amount anyway.

And I definitely feel like this is one of those situations where PBC paydays ARE bad for making bigger fights outside of the PBC universe (even as a PBC fan & supporter) cuz if Jacobs is getting $1M+ for a Mora rematch why fight GGG for $2M? I can't think of a good reason why I would fight GGG for 10x the risk of Mora for only half the money.

Probably because their check bounced!

K2 better hope HBO have a chunk of cash hidden away if this goes to purse bids.

yeah, haymon will win it like he won the povetkin fight

[ShoulderRoll]

Yup, Haymon may win it and GGG get stripped since he's tied with HBO.

That's very like what will happen.

If HBO isn't willing to put up enough money to win the bid then they should let Golovkin fight Jacobs on PBC, though. It's not that big of a risk since he is favored to win and he'll come back to them as a more valuable commodity.

[Robbie Barrett]

Does K2 have a Russian billionaire that is willing to lose money bidding for them?

Haymon bid $5mil for that fight, more than the fight was worth. Is K2 willing to bid more than the fight is worth for Golovkin-Jacobs? I doubt it.

[CaneloMaidana]

More likely scenario is Danny intentionally misses weight vs Mora, gets stripped and no longer has to worry about Golovkin.

What will you say if Golovkin vacates?

[Robbie Barrett]

What will you say if Golovkin vacates?

Network issues, Golovkin is the true champion, his WBA consecutive defences still count because he didn't lose it he was stripped.

I think you got it backwards, if Jacobs could make 2 million for Golovkin he'd take it but HBO will only offer enough for a million.

One of the more anticipated fights in the middleweight division is going to fall in line in the next few weeks - if everything goes as planned. On September 10th at the O2 Arena in London, IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight world champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) will defend his titles against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook, who is heading up by two divisions.

If this fight happens then Canelo GGG fight would never happen cause Jacobs beats GGG and Canelo will claim GGG isn't worth fighting anymore.
