Pugmire: Sources say HBO won't pay for GGG vs. Jacobs

[Kigali]

Thats true, I forgot about the purse bid rules.

You never knew the damn rules..dude had to school you.

Like I always say


GGG doesn't have the smartest fans

[sicko]

Of course they won't it is HBO they haven't paid for a quality fight in a while

That Exclusive HBO deal is KILLING GGG and keeping him from making bigger money and fights fans want to see. So who does HBO have for him if not Jacobs? Another Welterweight?

Why HBO have these **** sucking obsessive supporters in beyond me when they're keeping fights from happening more than anybody in boxing right now

Promoters need to Promote and Networks need to buy the fights they want to show like the old format instead of Networks trying to play Promoter this is TERRIBLE for the sport when HBO do **** like this. They just dismiss fights without even trying to negotiate or anything.

Damn your a fool, you never have anything constructive to add to any conversation here.

[BoliviaChiLEsp]

So why they retwetted Jacobs' tweet?

I think they will pay for this fight in order to make Canelo vs. GGG PPV bigger and bigger.

Did you see the way GGG was pulling back with his hands down??

See what I mean?

Brook did his homework....GGG don't bring them hands straight back...he drops them...THEN he pulls them up.

If Kell had gone to the body with his hard shots he would have had a chance.

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

Well its all about bring in tv viewers for HBO right so

For those interested in the real numbers... HBO and SHO break their ratings into pre-fight, actual fight, and post-fight segments.

9:00-9:17pm (pre-fight Cuellar-Oquendo): 217K
9:17-10:07pm (Cuellar-Oquendo fight): 221K
10:07-10:30pm (post-fight Cuellar-Oquendo/pre-fight Jacobs-Quillin): 274K
10:30-10:37pm (Jacobs-Quillin fight): 386K
10:37-10:56pm (post-fight Jacobs-Quillin): 267K

http://sportstvratings.com/texas-baylor-usc-stanford-college-football-leads-cable-sports-tv-ratings-for-saturday-december-5-2015/4062/

So Cuellar-Oquendo averaged 221K and Jacobs-Quillin averaged 386K. Last week for Showtime, Alvarez-Chilemba averaged 173K and DeGale-Bute averaged 269K. Showtime is struggling.

Jacobs biggest fights in ratings ^^^

Come on bruh, haven't you heard?

Everyone knows Al Haymon is really the one killing the sport with PBC solo ring entrances and not showing ring girls.

If Golovkin doesn't fight Jacobs next can't he be stripped?

[Motorcity Cobra]

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

So why they retwetted Jacobs' tweet?

I think they will pay for this fight in order to make Canelo vs. GGG PPV bigger and bigger.

They retweeted his tweet saying he's ready. But they messed up and said they have 120 days to negotiate when it was really 30 days to negotiate and 120 to fight

[Motorcity Cobra]

If Golovkin doesn't fight Jacobs next can't he be stripped?

He'll have to fight Saunders instead. A unification can stop a mandatory. But they only have 30 days to get a Saunders deal done in order to stop the Jacobs purse bid.
