Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Looks To Jacobs - as WBA Orders The Fight!

[Scipio2009]

Haymon sent Wilder to Russia

Do you seriously think that he is going to break what's left of his bank for Jacobs?

DiBella bid $5m, Povetkin's promoter bid $7m; Wilder wasn't going to give up the belt, so he and his camp prepped to go to Russia.

If you honestly think that Haymon isn't going to put up the money (or at least a serious bid) to secure the biggest fight of his top middleweight's (and his only middleweight champion) career, you're nuts.

To put things into perspective, a bid of $6m earns Jacobs' "Quillin money" and he has already knocked that back

Why are fans and boxers thinking like that? Sure ask for a lot of money but don't price yourself out.

Lets say he gets KO'd cold. So what. He can continue to fight again. He can make $300K - $750K fighting other contenders. Doing what else is he going to make that money? Imagine if Charlo would move up from LMW to fight Jacobs - wouldn't that be a great fight that'd sell well?

Right, Jacobs has 32 wins and 29 by ko and folks wanna count him out if he loses.

i dont think hbo is not taking the fight due to it being a possible dud but because of money being allocated elsewhere. i forget where i read dec was a tough month budget wise.

Regardless of the state of their budget, no network can ever afford that. The B side mando challenger passed on an offer cause he can make that much fighting 2 Quillins. It has to be ppv with those expectations

sooooooooo.......a ''worse'' match up was never worked into a networks budget before ?!?!? plenty of a sides fought d sides (should i name every mike tyson opponent prior to buster).

no, jacobs is not afraid of 3g. i voted him to ko/tko 3b by the 8th.

Hey you were confused about weight limits so I'm not surprised this is way beyond your reach. But Cliffs notes:. No network is ever paying out 4m in purses, not even for much more competitive fights. This would require tons more, per Jacobs "wait a minute, I could fight 2 Quillins". Need more hints?

Mega-fight ???

Jacobs career high purse was something like 1.5m for the Quillen fight and he doesn't want to risk fighting GGG for ONLY 3m when he can fight 2 Quillens for the same amount. DJ wants life-altering money to step in with GGG so I can see him pricing himself out if he doesn't get big money. Jacobs called this a mega-fight !!
