    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.
    Yeah HBO is a joke! Can't believe you wouldn't put the 2nd biggest fight at 160 on your network it's ridiculous!

      HBO may only have one more fight the rest of the year that's not a PPV. That is Canelo supposedly fighting Dec 10 if all goes well next week.

      So we're looking at next week PPV
      Oct 29 Fury-Klit II (from Sky Sports)
      Nov 19 PPV Kovalev-Ward
      Dec 10 Canelo possibly

      Don't know what's goin on with Cotto and Arum is having meetings about his fighters Bradley, Crawford and Loma over at Showtime.

        Saunders is fighting on the fury undercard on the 29th. Golovkin is fighting in LA next he ain't fighting Saunders there.

          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.
          Oh yeah I forget to reply to you after the fight, I think I might have a change of heart, yeah I see some serious flaws and weaknesses you might be right on that one

          This BS of "GGG LET GUYS HIT HIM" not buying that **** I see just a flat out lack of reflexes defensively, also his guard is looks and weak and leaves him open for uppercuts which Brook also caught him with

          A true Middleweight with the Power to match no question can hurt him because he is "Straight Up And Down" he come straight forward, with ZERO Angles

          That is why I kept post "Lets Wait A See How He Looks Vs Brook" so I take back "Jacobs Doesn't Have A Chance" I still lean GGG>Jacobs but with the right Gameplan absolutely Jacobs has a chance

            If HBO stops this fight from happening I better see the same people who criticize PBC criticize HBO.

              Saunders is fighting on the Fury-Klit II Bill next month. Can they start negotiations on that fight and the other has yet to be announced.

                Have they named an opponent? He said he's fighting on the card but I haven't heard anything. He also tweeted this. But this was also after the WBA said Jacobs/GGG is next.....

                  Saunders turned down rosado he is content to fight no one. Jacobs wants it this fight needs to happen!

                      What has yet to be announced? Have they named an opponent for BJS yet? They were supposed to do that this past Monday. BJS also said he was fighting in the summer. Then he said he was fighting in September. He went on to turn down Jacobs, Monroe Jr, Stevens, and Rosado. BJS isn't a reliable source. I'll wait until Warren announces it.
