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

[Nomadic]

Jacobs seems like a sincerely nice dude.

But this ends badly.

I'm not a GGG fan, but strongly believe you're correct.

[OnePunch]

If 1.5 is what he is offered then he won't take the fight. He already made that fighting Kid Chocolate

fine, then he can go back to Reading, PA and fight Mora again for $300k in an empty arena.......

The only way I can see them getting the money for this fight would be from Haymon. We all know HBO isn't paying anything. Which leads me to believe that it won't happen as I don't think GGG can fight off HBO, i maybe wrong though. If they went the PPV route i'm sure it could sell better or at least as much as Lemuiex, but HBO would need to promote it with a 24/7 or something, which I don't see them doing

He can leave HBO for 1 fight. If HBO let's him of course...

Look at Pac! They're letting him fight Vargas. And they're making it clear Pac is not a free agent...If GGG or PAc tries fight a "Big Time" fight NOT on HBO and they want it! They'll be in the court room for YEARS! HBO will make sure if THEY don't get that Pac/Floyd 2 fight or GGG/Canelo then no one will.

And GGG can bring another Welterweight up. Or better yet fight antoher Wade house arrest BUM!!! Not like you give a sht! You'll pay GOOD $$$$ to see GGG in BumFights.com

2 - 2.5 million is "reasonable"??????

man what are you smoking. Can you point out a single example of a non-heavyweight mandatory challenger with no fanbase getting paid over 2 million dollars??

Khan, people hate that azzhole

Jacobs has real power. Something that Golovkin has yet to face in his career. He also has boxing ability. He is also 6' in height. Jacobs would be Golovkin's best opponent to date. It's a fight that should happen.

Huh, do you know how fights GGG had in the amateurs, and to his 30 plus pro fights. I think Jacobs has not seen a chin like GGG.

[Metho_4u]

He made 1.5 for Quillin, how is making more for a bigger fight not reasonable? 2 mil is reasonable considering he made 1.5 for a lesser fight. Is he supposed to take less than what his highest purse has been just because we want to see the fight? Not everyone is Kovalev and willing to take 500K

They way I see it, Quillin was considered a better fighter than anyone of GayLoveKins previous opponents. Jacobs smoked him in 1 round and thus has the big win over a better opponent, thus Jacobs can make demands like that because his own power can help market this fight.

[Rip Chudd]

just because Haymon overpaid him for the Quillin fight, that doesnt mean that everyone else will. Jacobs also just got somewhere between $600k and $700k for the Mora fight, which was a 50% pay cut.

If this fight goes to purse bid, to get Jacobs at least $2 million, Haymon would have to bid $8 million. Do you really think thats going to happen?

He fought Sergio freaking Mora, of course he is gonna take a paycut for that fight, his own kid wasn't even interested to see that crap.

I don't see anyone bidding 8 mil for the fight. What i can see happening is it going to a purse bid and Haymon winning it just to see if GGG would drop the belt if HBO tries to say he can't fight on another network due to his contract

[Shadoww702]

GGG should just stick to fighting BUMS!!! He WON'T pay over $1.5 and his fans don't mind seeing him fight Tomato Cans!!!

Stick to paying $500K fighting BUMS and ACTING like fighters are SCARED.

K2 acts like their HIGH ROLLER'S at the tables betting $5 MAX. They'll get those type of fighters and GGG FANS won't MIND.

Curtis Stevens and David Lemieux both have real, legit power. Cmon now
