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

[CaneloMaidana]

Network issues, Golovkin is the true champion, his WBA consecutive defences still count because he did lose it he was stripped.

Ha yeah you know it.

[Kigali]

What will you say if Golovkin vacates?

He'll say titles don't mean shi.t.

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.

i doubt that haymon can still waste that kind of money. but suit yourslef

if Jacobs could make 2 million for Golovkin he'd take it

There is no way Jacobs would fight GGG for $2M imho. And rightfully so.

He's getting $1M+ for the Mora's of the world. GGG is a tough fight for Jacobs however you cut it & when you can fight two Mora's or one GGG for the same amount of money you fight the two Mora's. Hell if I was Jacobs I'd do the same so thats not even criticizing him really.

He won't lose a dime, Golovkin will vacate if he doesn't Jacobs can pull out.

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.

I don't think it'd be a lock that PBC wins.

And its not HBO vs PBC with a purse bid. Its K2 vs some PBC promoter, probably DiBella. And lets not forget World of Boxing (~$9M iirc) beat out DiBella Entertainment (~$7M iirc) in the Wilder vs Povetkin purse bid.

I don't see how you could throw more than $6M or $7M at this fight either so I think this would be in K2's price range easy for the upside Jacobs' name would bring to GGG's resume. Mainly doe I don't think its a forgone conclusion who'd win the purse bid doe.

Broner got 1.4 million for Molina
He then got 1.5 million for Porter.

Same with Collazo and Porter for Thurman.

Haymon seems like he likes to keep guys at same purse regardless of opponent.

I have a feeling they'll accept double for Golovkin but you notice Golovkin never makes offers?

You must be Haymon's accountant....or Arum's wife.

Why would Jacobs pull out?
