    If it goes to a purse bid, would would put up more money? Who's Jacob's promoter, DiBella? Jacobs did say he's fighting at Barclays in December.

      Or it might come down to K2 throwing chump change at Jacobs because they know he is a threat.

        It can go to purse bid. It doesn't matte what Jacobs wants. That's irrelevant. He gets 25% if it goes to purse bid so he can't be asking for an outrageous purse.

          DiBella put the money up for the Wilder-Povetkin purse bid. He'll probably do it for this one.

              Now that you've pointed that out...they have to stop saying Danny will price himself out.

                Yea, what would be a fair purse in your estimation for Jacobs?

                      Yea, HBO's boxing programming may be giving up the ghost soon. I dont know why in the hell you wouldnt show this fight.
