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

[MagikLair]

Come on 60/40 please for the fans

[Progrssive_Jedi]

It's called negotiations man

They're smart to try, but WBA would be bogus to do so.

when canelo had the wbc title and GGG the interim, its mandatory that the fight is 55-45. thats why canelo vacated. it should be 8020 in canelos favor.

seems like the WBA has a similar rule.

Two different organizations. Plus, GGG had been waiting on that shot since Rubio. And k-2 already said they'd do 70/30 then, Canelo vacated because he didn't want to fight GGG.

He didn't begin negotiations, he fought smith and is trying to still push it back.

???? So Jacobs wants more than 25% and your MAD??? But think GGG deserves a 55-50% split with Canelo???

WOW!!!!

GGG was interim champ, and had been so for years. WBC rules for the purse split were more favorable than Canelo wanted, but if Canelo would have offered 70/30 it'd be done anyways.

GGG got his belts the same way if not worse than Jacobs. Do your research

Wtf are you talking about. GGG beat Lemiuex for IBF. He got WBC because he beat Rubio and Canelo ducked him. And he got the WBA by winning a vacated title. He's hardily first to win a belt that was vacated.

It's not pathetic how he got them other than the guys who straight up either vacated or let themselves get stripped hoping they didn't have to fight him.

Well, looks like everything falls on Jacobs. Wants a higher percentage with no grounds to stand on in doing so. He's probably better off taking a deal instead of waiting for purse bid. PBC supposed to be smarter with their money. They could put some money to good use here, but they still paying for Danny Garcia tune-ups even though this'll be his third in a row now

If the fight happens then GGG gets another win and Jacobs walks away with a good rep. Jacobs def wondering what he's gonna do after the KO loss cause he wants to cash out before the whipping.

But idk if this is a PPV fight tho

If WBA changes Split to cater to the Regular, GGG should vacate.

WBA would look bad trying to change the rules just to help Jacobs.

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.

Ive said Haymon won't purse bid because it will be a bad investment. He will pay GGG big money to snipe out one of his champions. If HBO doesn't pony up, they should let GGG go make the money real fast.

Golovkin will duck just like he ducked Ward. Showtime is keeping December 3rd open for a reason you fool. They are a 60 billion dollar company owned by a company worth 100s of Billions not PBC.

You can't duck someone whose fighting two divisions above you and doesn't even want to fight the year he's calling you out. I call you out for a fight, but in 18 months.

97k failed ppv.

Showtime will open up the bank for this fight. What you don't know is Les Monves loves boxing and will do things to stick it to HBO.

Showtime will pay 2 million and they'll get rest from tickets and international rights.

It crack me up that you try so hard to hate on GGG that you're hoping he losing a title outside the ring. That's pathetic.

When's Lara gonna answer Andrade without bogus offers.

I don't see how this fight gets made off a purse bid. Just say Haymon was willing to put up 5 million for this and put it on Showtime, that would only get Jacobs 1.25 million. Doesn't seem like he'd be willing to do this fight for that much. Personally I don't even know if this fight would be worth 5 million. Also would HBO allow it? Be a b!tch move if they didn't.

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.

This would be a game changer.

[Citizen Koba]

Thanks! and please do.

There's still time, but the su****ioun that Jacobs is looking for a way out is growing with his team's lame request of a rules-change regarding purse-split.

[Madison Boxing]
