    I'd rather see Lara vs Jacobs. Let Haymon figure out how he's going to pay for it.
    Of course.... Because you know your boy gets iced

      Who the h*ll knows. Honestly I think it's because they want to **** over Haymon seeing that PBC is going down the tubes. Outside of that, I think Jacobs and Golovkin (together) would ultimately ask for too much. Both guys are not exactly "household names"

        I can't think of one time they paid a B sider well over 2 Quillins. Even popular A siders don't get that on Hbo or Showtime

              This is from Hearn on Eubanks not wanting the fight for 4-5mil.. This is today's post fight interview, see from 7:50 for Eubanks story..

              Eubanks demands and deal breakers: https://********/zUzPkDdyjzo

              Jacobs saying 1.5mil that he got for Quillin is no good: https://*************/watch?v=CFsrihrVueo

              Jacobs talking about wanting to delay the GGG fight.. Some of the excerpts in this link are in the video above too: http://www.************.com/2016/06/...catch-weights/


              If you need Canelos shannanigans watch his post Khan fight interview, when Dan Rafael asks about weight and timeline, Canelo says 170 & ODLH says next fight itself..

                Would love to see HBO deny him and get him stripped of his WBA
                K2 and GGG would love taht and it'd only strengthen their relationship

                  I still don't understand why people actually believe Jacobs wants to fight GGG.



                  Dude is scared and I don't blame him, he's a very fragile dude.

                      Wow, that was fast. I thought theyd at least wait until Monday before making an announcement. WBA not playing around. I hope we get to see them in the ring
