    So how much is Jacobs worth in your opinion?

    I'd like to see GGG vs Jacobs, and I also go on record that whatever happens he will not vacate a belt. He will fight on Showtime when HBO cant put that fight together.

    HBO was retweeting the Jacobs "callout" of GGG just a couple hours ago, so i guess they are interested in that fight. I think it could happen on PPV, you just need both fighters, specially Danny to realize what he is worth.

      Ratings are irrelevant. It's a mandatory. If they can't agree it goes to purse bid. It doesn't matter what each fighter feels their worth. The market will decide. End of story

        Like I just told the other posters. What Jacobs is worth is irrelevant. If they can't agree it goes to purse bid. Jacobs gets 25% and GGG gets 75%.

          Floyd said straight up and down. No special effects.

          Abel said Monroe Jr was a bigger star than Lara. Loeffler said Ward wasn't a draw and didn't deserve 50/50 unless the fight was at 164 (after saying he wasn't sure Ward could even make 168)

          Like Hopkins said. All the frauds in boxing will be revealed in due time.

            only 1 mismatch remains to be ''seen''.fnck hbo. the sport says dj and 3g must fight unless one gets out of dodge.

            finally 3g fans will have to stfu about people being too scared to fight him.

              I am a fan and I do believe people find a way out of the fight with Golovkin and if it isn't obvious by now that MW division fighters aren't ready already we can go over the list again.. That's why like most believe he should move up and fight bigger guys, It should say something despite your opinion..

                heres the thing....just because a fight doesnt happen doesnt mean ducking is involved. wtf. that claim is overused. contracts, networks, promoters, ''injuries'', availability....a plethora of better reasons can be used instead.

                2 mismatches out of the way. one to go.

                3g vs dj/alvy with no fear in sight 2016/17

                  They'll throw him what he's worth, not what HE thinks he's worth..

                  Dude fought last night after half the crowd left after his undercard fight LOL...

                    Ok let's not use duck but lets break it down shall we:
                    Jacobs said a few months back that he needs 18 months. He said last month that he will fight Golovkin for a good chunk of $ and not how much he got offered for Quillen I.e, > 1.5mil - I am not saying he shouldn't be compensated but wtf has he to offer to Golovkin for the 4 belts? A regular WBA? Pfff..

                    Canelo said he will fight Golovkin and at full 160 and next - apparently he is a JrMW now and says he cannot be forced into a fight- fair enough, you have up your title and ran to a lower division but did not duck

                    Eubank Jr said he will fight Golovkin and all that **** him and his delusional dad said, did not sign the fight.. Ok you are a ****in British level guy, you want the champ to come over and fight, fair enough, instead of proving your worth you sure behind more money.. Legend!

                    Lara said he will come to 160 to fight Golovkin, we both know how the negotiations are going on.. I wasn't personally happy about a lower weight guy stepping up to face GGG but better a JrMW than a WW..

                    That's pretty much sums up MW division.. Savvy!?

                      not that im claiming your comment to be false, id like to read the links and the EXACT words for the fighters themselves.

                      again, you might very well be right, but still
