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

[al-Xander]

I don't get it. Why would they pay for a fight that would make them lose money? What am I missing? Has boxing become a charity for fighters who refuse to fight?

I'd rather see Lara vs Jacobs. Let Haymon figure out how he's going to pay for it.

man this is some damn bs, jacobs vs ggg would be huge

[BoxingFan85]

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

#linksoverall

I am too drunk to find you the interview links from Jacobs and Hearn's comments on Eubank Jr mate.. It is on YouTube honestly.. Trust me when I am sober I will make it a point to send you the links..
I am not a fanboy or GGGtard who bend the logic to suit their need.. I am just a fan for his skills and I would be happy to see the other MFin MWs fight GGG to see who the undisputed champ is..

Jacobs is going to bust his fcuking ass

If Brook touched GGG, Jacobs will do that and then some. But when Jacobs lands, it's curtains

Good thing for GGG that wasn't Jacobs instead of Brook.

HBO used to have fights like that all the time, sad when it can not even be a consideration.

Did you just start watching boxing? Mandatory's have been around a lot longer than GGG has been fighting. This is how fights get made.

I don't know why these folks don't understand this

GGG would not have come in against Jacobs like he did Brook. The second he tastes Jacobs power he would have been dancing
