Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter To Begin Immediate Negotiations For Jacobs

[Dean_Razorback]

Who was GGG fighting back then???

he was supposed to fight pirog, they signed the contract and all but pirog pull off because of a back injury that eventually forced him to retired. how many times do i have to tell you? you are shot to shit, your posts are shit, your trolling prime is far gone

Now, this is what I'm talking about! Enforce the hell out this fight if they can't negotiate. These are the two best middleweights going at it (although I give the nod to GGG to win), which is how it should be. I even like this better than a GGG-Canelo fight and definitely more than the BJS fight. I don't want to hear any noise about promoters and networks and blah blah blah. Make this fight happen.

Hopefully, Jacobs is serious about getting this fight done since he has started talking about the fight actually happening recently. I think this is a high risk, higher reward fight for him considering that not many people actually think he will win... But if he does, that would be huge for him. GGG is GGG and will bring it. These are the fights that boxing needs. Somebody is getting knocked out in this one!!

This is the fight to make at MW. Hope it happens.

Always have a plan A,B, and C huh? Is that why that asswipe fought a WW instead of another MW? Seems to me he had a plan A and then it was like "oh ****, guess we'll take another easy fight and have an excuse, I don't wanna bother Degale"

Great fight, hope bjs isn't scared off by the result since he supposedly has his nerve up now.

When Plan A didn't work (The Eubanks playing hardball), they went to plan B which was a big named fighter from the UK willing to step up.

Loeffler is honest and easy to work with.

Degale was, presumably still is, negotiating with Badou.

Why haters are so incensed by ggg when there are plenty of obviously hyped and protected fighters I don't know.

The only question regarding this fight is, does Jacobs want the fight? The answer is no. Jacobs will demand two times as much as Brook made for a Golovkin fight, even though Jacobs can't sell half the seats in an arena in his hometown.

If it goes to purse bid, I doubt if any promoter would bid more than $2 to $3 million on this fight.

True! He is willing to make any fight as long as Golovkin has a perceived advantage (any fighter from 154-168) and he will be quick to say no (Andre Ward) if he doesn't think Golovkin has an advantage.

PBC on Spike Friday averaged 547,000

ELeague on TBS averaged 210K

That's well below Bellator numbers.

Golovkin/Murray live afternoon feed did 862k on HBO, I'm guessing the Brook fight did higher. Pretty bad an HBO afternoon fight out does a prime time Friday night free tv fight.

According to one poster, Danny Jacobs is a break-out ppv star?
