Oh ****. Looks like Jacobs is target number 1. Hopefully after all that tough talk he backs it up.

Does it have to be under ggg main home network?

It's probably going to ppv. Hbo already said they don't want the fight and there probably isn't enough money for the networks to pay the purses the boxers want.

Good news, hopefully this one will materialize.

How is it possible for HBO not to want the fight after all the time and money they have invested in GGG, being this his most appealing fight so far if it happens? It makes no sense.

If there is any hope for boxing's future, this fight has to happen. Let's not mess this up, time to get it done!!

I think in terms of marketability Jacobs is just another name. He doesn't bring any fans with him. It doesn't matter anyways because the fight was going you go to ppv whenever it happens because Jacobs won't take what the networks purse offers.

He wants at least 2 million and in pretty sure hbo wasn't going to shell out 5 million for a fight that probably do the same number as ggg-wade.
