Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I'm Back in December at Barclays - I Want Golovkin Next!

[Boxing Logic]

Well There's two options. Either they way overpay Golovkin to fight on Showtime so that Jacobs could get his $3M (Which would mean that Haymon would have to put up over $10M for the purse bid).

Or Jacobs accepts whatever offer K2 offers him to fight on HBO.

Either way it's a win for Golovkin's side and a loss for Jacobs' side.

Yes GGG is sitting pretty. As long as the WBA orders it, and K2 doesn't **** things up, they can just wait to the purse bid and force Danny to fight or drop the belt and be exposed for the world as a ducker.

GGG has to take care of Hulk Brook first though.

[LaidOut]

It's pretty impressive that GGG would take yet another belt without having to even step in the ring, emphasizing how feared he is at MW. Having said that, I do hope the fight gets made, because I'm a fan of boxing, not of administrative belt transfers.

Sweet hope it happens

ITll be interesting how it plays out

What does that mean - "...I'm back in December at Barclays, I want GGG next." Are you seriously trying to dictate terms of the fight. Let's hope WBA force this match up so we find out if Jacobs is serious or not. I sense not - His serious money is always going to be just not enough. We need that WBA reg belt (what a crock of **** that is!!) to disappear, then Jacobs has nothing to sell - he still walks around calling himself a world champ, WTF.

You caught that too huh. They Haymon fighters all use the same tactics to duck fights.

1. "He has no name, I would get more money to fight someone else."

2. "He has a name now, and I would get more money to fight him than anyone else. But... that's a big fight, with a lot of risk, and the money has to equal to the risk."

3. "He hasn't fought anyone great. I'm great! Best ever! I won't fight him. Let me know when he fights someone great, like me, who won't fight him, then I'll fight him, if you believe me, which you shouldn't."

4. "I definitely want that fight. If not now that I've been offered the contract, within the next five years. I think we can both continue to build our brands, and when that fight presents itself, I aint never dodged no man, now please stop asking me about him I don't want to fight him he's really good."

5. "This network and/or venue and/or date and /or promoter has been really loyal to me, and made me into a "star", so getting a career high payday actually isn't important to me anymore. Scratch my previous statements. Now what I think matters is my undying loyalty to a billion dollar corporation. You know, like how Floyd was loyal to HBO for making him a star."

6. "I ran to Showtime when he wanted to fight me on HBO when we were both on HBO, so now it's really his responsibility to move to Showtime otherwise he's ducking me."

7. "I would beat him so easily, easy work, and that is by far the biggest financial fight out there for me too. Easy work means it's low risk, very easy. Biggest money means it's high reward, huge money. This is a business, not a sport, and this fight is low risk, high reward, the ultimate business man fight if my previous statements have any integrity whatsoever.

They don't. I lied about him being easy. Please don't pressure me into fighting him."

8. "I don't believe in exclusive network contracts because that prevents flexibility for fighters to be able to go to another network to make a huge fight and make more money, which is all that matters. But now that there is an offer for me to make a huge, career high payday against Golovkin or Kovalev on HBO, I believe in staying exclusive to Showtime, even though I don't have an exclusive contract them, because of how loyal they have been and Al Haymon probably made unofficial under the table exclusive promises, which means I may as well be exclusive to a network, which completely contradicts my entire premise."

There are a lot more, but they all boil down to the same combos of bull****. "We/he already had a date/venue/fight scheduled, so we had no choice
but to choose an over the hill, feather fisted cab driver for the fifth fight in a row rather than the best match-up out there. What else could we do!" is another one.

We'll know if Danny actually wants GGG if he signs the contract and shows up in the ring. Short of that, you better believe he doesn't.

Jacobs gets murdered. The guy has a punchers chance, literally. Not in the same league.

BJS, Brook, Canelo, all have much better chances.

You could be right but Jacobs continues to impress me and I have Jacobs as #2 so hope it happens,

I got Saunders as #3 so I'm down with that fight as well. Canelos #1 in his own division so if Osacar grows some nuts then I'm down with that too.

I'm interested in how all these moving parts with different priorities ( HBo,PBC ,K2 ) react and handle this WBA mandate. Do they actually try and make this fight

[pedrito]

I'd love to see this fight. Let's see if Jacobs is still as eager when it comes to signing an actual contract.

STFU. You GGGTARDS act like GGG is some mega star. He's such a big star he's taking his broke ass all the way to England to do a PPV that's going to bomb in the US. Lol some A side.

[Bronx2245]

Jacobs shouldn't have said anything about December, but he should be looking for a Plan B, because Canelo and GGG both want Saunders next. I think Jacobs should fight Lara @ 160, if he can't get GGG! That fight will show us which fighter is really serious about going to the next level. Winner gets GGG next!
