Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Jacobs Running Out of Time - Purse Bid Looms

[The Comic DON]

And when Dibella wins the purse bid and Golovkin vacates you'll defend it.

Let's be honest friend, Dibella probably can't even outbid the homeless man I endorse every week. Haymon will be the one to put up the money.

It'll be Showtime money. Haymon will go to Espinoza and ask what's most they'll pay. He'll then bid that plus a couple million for tickets and international rights.

Are you high . I never mentioned anything about Showtime. GGG ain't vacating **** zilch nada nothing. Showtime is not opening up the finances for Jacobs. Are you ****in kidding me . A phony champion with no fan base, no pay per view s . Sure what ever you say.

not good... It looks like it's going to a purse bid and if the WBA don't change the split the fights not going to happen.

Wouldn't you expect something to have been said before now if there were any problems with negotiations? Very strange that we haven't heard anything.

What'd did the source on sheepdog say?

Before the negotiations started, I predicted that K2 would hold out for the purse bid. Why wouldn't they? They get 75% of the split. Even if Haymon wins and brings it to Showtime, he'll have to break the bank to compensate for Jacobs' 25%. Jacobs was on record asking for $2-3M, Haymon would have to put up a massive bid to satisfy that unless Jacobs is willing to fight for like $1M, which I doubt considering he got that much for Sergio Mora and this is a much bigger fight. K2 would offer Jacobs even less money if they won the bid.

It's a win-win for Golovkin both ways. If Haymon wins, he'll have to break the bank and Golovkin would get paid a lot of money even if it's on Showtime. If Haymon doesn't win then Jacobs will likely vacate the belt and K2 wouldn't have to worry about facing another WBA mandatory for another 18 months. Sure, they would lose out on a big fight with Jacobs, but they could bring Golovkin back in December against a lower tiered opponent and get him some of that Canelo money that's left over. They could always fall back to the old "Well we tried to make the Jacobs fight, but he vacated the belt".

Now the interesting thing about this is that the WBA is meeting to discuss the purse split. If they change it from 75-25 to let's say 60-40, that would really be a game changer and will likely put K2 in panic mode IMO.
