Good News!! Jacobs before Saunders

[Eastcoast]

Assuming it goes to purse bid and haymon wins, hes gonna want it in showtime and ggg fights on hbo....

Sounds like if it goes to purse-bid and they lose, that GGG can fight on Showtime.

Told by @TomLoeffler1 that @GGGBoxing does not want to vacate his WBA belt and "is committed to fighting @DanielJacobsTKO."

@LastCallwChrisC yes if it goes to purse bid ... Winner dictates.

Duva actually talked about this with the Kovalev/Stevenson situation that they too could've fought on Showtime if they lost the purse-bid but they had a hang-up b/c they were in the middle of doing the IBF mandatory. That was why they wanted Stevenson's side to hold off ordering the immediate bid and allow the full window of time (it's also possibly the reason Stevenson's side ordered the immediate purse bid).

Its whether they would

Depends entirely on if hbo say they would not want them to fight on showtime

[IllegalDeath]

As long as he fights both after one another is fine with me irrespective of who gets the fight first.
On Jacobs vs BJS, I think BJS is very very underrated and would definitely give GGG more problems.

You do realize that Jacobs called GGG out several times BEFORE the fight against Brook, right?

In fact, Jacobs fought on Friday and called GGG out right after his fight with Mora BEFORE GGG fought Brook.

Why do you guys constantly lie and make schit up around here?

He declined to fight in the past. That's not a lie.

You need to pull your head out of your ass. Comparing Lee, who's a legit top 10 MW to Mora who's not even a top 20 MW... Mora has no power, was 35 years old, sat out for 13 months, and hasn't had a meaningful win in 3 years.

Your assessment on Lee is a joke. Andy would be a serious fight for Jacobs. Look at the fights you just listed for Lee, outside of Quillin, if Danny could've got those fights it would vastly improved his resume. Danny ended the Quillin fight before it started, and he got lucky doing so. We still don't know if Danny could've handled Quillin in a longer fight. There's probably a reason Danny's been moved so carefully, when your next best fights are Mora, Truax, and Fletcher your career is questionable.

But go back and look at the context of all Lee's fights. OK, he's been stopped by Chavez Jr and the big bad Brian Vera. Ok, schit happens, I understand that, so let's look past that and the context of his wins.

Lee was very hurt against Jackson on several occasions and was en route to losing that fight.

Lee barely escaped out of the first round against Quillin and was saved by the bell.

Lee was down on all cards to Korobov before the Hail Mary punch.

Lee should've never made it out of the 3rd round against BJS. I wouldn't have complained if the ref stopped the fight after the first knockdown.

It just baffles me how Andy Lee isn't what you call "chinny". It seems you put more weight in Andy Lee having a draw against Quillin than you do Jacobs 88 second destruction against Quillin.

Let me ask you this; who is Andy Lee's best win?

[Chollo Vista]

He declined to fight in the past. That's not a lie.

No, that's not what you said.

You said the only reason Jacobs is calling out GGG like he is now is because of how GGG looked against Brook. That's a lie

[daggum]

well saunders is better than Jacobs. he has 2 quality wins and Jacobs has one. Jacobs is slick doe

[Chollo Vista]

well saunders is better than Jacobs. he has 2 quality wins and Jacobs has one. Jacobs is slick doe

Who's BJS quality wins? Eubank and.....

[Derranged]

No, that's not what you said.

Meh... He called out GGG immediately after his fight with Mora was signed. But anyway, it looks like this fight will happen.

[soul_survivor]

Where the hell have you been the last few weeks?

I lost count how many times in the last week or so Danny has said he wants to fight GGG in December or January.

How long are you going to cling to that quote as the gospel and dispel the most recent news available?

Isn't that what you just did with the BJS quote? As soon as the GGG fight ended, BJS was calling him out. So now what's your reason for supporting a Jacobs fight over BJS?
