Loeffler & Warren are meeting today to discuss GGG/BJS.
Yesterday Loeffler contacted Tom Brown (a Haymon promoter) on behalf of Jacobs.
Considering Jacobs/Golovkin needs to be ppv, and considering Danny Jacobs only drew about 600k people on free tv after drawing only 386k on Showtime, they might want to let Saunders go first, atleast build Golovkin's name up bigger by winning all 4 title and doing another block-buster show, and maybe let Jacobs take another safe fight in front of 5,000 comp's.Comment

I suppose that makes sense, but I think Golovkin would have to vacate his title if he didn't fight Jacobs.Comment

That's up to the WBA, they have in their rules they can grant special requests at anytime. In this case, team Jacobs might even be in agreement to delay the fight to March/April of '17.
Loeffler wouldn't be currently negotiating with Warren for BJS next if he didn't think the WBA would allow it.Comment

Doesn't unification get more priority by WBA? Jacobs can wait. But honestly, it is good to see everyone call out GGG now. They want to get in on the Brook money. We saw Chris BJS and Jacobs asking for a fight when GGG has no fights lined up. That is a step in the right direction.Comment

That I don't know. But whoever Golovkin decides to fight first, the fans of the guy he didn't chose will claim its a duck. If he fights Saunders, the usual suspects will claim he's afraid of Jacobs' power. If he fights Jacobs, 100 accounts who swear they love Saunders will pop up claiming that *****s give Golovkin nightmares. Its just the way it is.Doesn't unification get more priority by WBA?

I'd be fine with either or. I just don't wanna see Golovkin fight another cab driver or welterweight.Comment
