Bait & Switch?

If GGG does fight BJS, maybe Jacobs vs Lee? I got Lee in that one.

Who wants to see me fight the winner? @loudibella https://t.co/D1mWqEg5Rr

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.

Well look like the winner of GGG/Brook is not next for Jacobs, Jacobs vs Alfonso Blanco? Erislandy Lara?

Why hasn't the WBA stripped Alfonso Blanco? They stripped Eubank after 7-8 months of inactivity, Blanco is currently on 11 months of inactivity with no fight announced.

[mapleleaf27]

when does the WBO step in to strip BJS??

[Larry the boss]

Hopefully the WBA forces this fight next

[Boxing lives]

The whole purse bid scenario and 75-25 split likely prevents the fight. Maybe they'll fight if they can work out terms instead of going to purse bid but its highly unlikely.

Jacobs-Lara would be an excellent match up

[bojangles1987]

I'll believe it when I see it. The reason we're seeing this crap fight tonight is because of two middleweights who loudly called Golovkin out and then ran when it was time to actually fight him. They're far from the first, either. Lots of guys "call" Golovkin out.

We'll see if Jacobs is one of the few to actually live up to his word.

Jacobs knocks Andy Lee cold.


GGG gets stripped if he doesn't fight Danny.
