No double standards. GGG is here to be the savior to boxing in rid the sport of all the "bidness". I commend him for it.

Now is the perfect time to not be a business man and roll with 70-30 like he said he would.

The purse split for GGG/Canelo would have been 70/30 had it gone to a bid. The WBC rule giving an interim champ 45% no longer applies.

yes it does it still applies. or fighter gets stripped.

... that guy (whoever he is) should move to the UK and sign with Hearn: Hearn would provide him with a $5 million purse in order to fight GGG... it's a proven fact...

sure, if Jacobs could sell tickets or UK ppv buys. But he cant even sell out HALF of Barclays against a fellow NYer...............

[Ake-Dawg]

where does this money come from? 2.5 to jacobs and 6 million or so to ggg? if haymon hadn't ran out of money yeah he could have given them each a billion dollars but he did run out

Hell if I know. That's why I suggest that K2 take the break even route to get Jacobs in the ring.

And Haymon hasn't run out of money. Just like most businesses, he invested heavy in the beginning to get the product to a steady state. Now that the stable is built and the time slots are regular, he doesn't have to overpay. Quite simple.

I want to see a damn fight.

GGG is not a business man so he could care less if the split is 70-30.

LMAO. You have no idea about the consequences. Seriously. Stop posting. You are a moron. You don't know it, but you are.

I can't add anything...

[BattlingNelson]

... TBH: during negotiations, team GGG is able to modify the purse split... but once they enter the "purse bid" process they can't break the WBA rules... Anything else?

Exactly. That's why I said that Jacobs has the time to try to negotiate a better deal with whatever it is he can bring to the table.

But deadline for pursebid nears and his team is crying to WBA for help. It's like wtf?

You're referring to a slippery slope of what "could" happen in the future. We could all get hit by a comet and die Jan 1st, 2017. Who knows what's going to happen in the future. I'm talking about this fight right here, right now.

Did GGG say he's not a business man? Going by his own testimony, he should have no issue with a 70-30 split for the betterment of boxing and the fans.

Only real life cuckhold fans like yourself would agree and "understand" why this fight shouldn't happen over the bidness

Shouldn't that tell you that K2 is using the purse bid guidelines as leverage. Jacobs has stated that he won't fight for less than $2M. So if K2 is focused on split and not total compensation, the only card Jacobs team can play is to ask the WBA to remove that leverage. It's smart. Will it work, who knows. But at least it's an indication that he actually wants to fight and isn't going to fake real negotiations.
