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

[Shadoww702]

I'm not sure, I'd have to research it.

Thanks! and please do.

We are going to see who ducks...

Absolutely no reason for either guy to bypass this fight

Purse bid should be interesting especially with PBC reducing spending, hbo n team GGG could win this bid

Which will be in the 3m range which is what this fight is worth. That means 750k for Jacobs, which is his true market value. The quillin fight didn't even sell out and had 386k viewers. Do you really think Jacobs is going to that? This fight was doomed the moment Jacobs wanted 3 mill. That number is just insane. Jacobs is going to be in for a really rude awakening when this artificial floor disappears. His numbers aren't even worth 500k.

Jacob needs to accept whatever K2 is offering (which I'm sure in beyond fair) I don't see Haymon putting up too much money for a fight Jacobs is more than likely going to lose.

He's going to find himself fighting on HBO for far less money or vacate altogether.

Golovkin needs to accept whatever GB is offering (which I'm sure in beyond fair) I don't see Loeffler putting up too much money for a fight GGG is more than likely going to lose.

He's going to find himself fighting on HBO for far less money or vacate altogether.

See what I did there

Difference is in your eyes one man has the right to do bidness in one situation (i.e. GGG - Canelo) and the other doesn't (i.e. Jacobs - GGG)

As of Wednesday, the World Boxing Association has not received notification of an agreement being reached between middleweight champions Gennady Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs.

this is what I took from that article.....

that bull**** regular/interim(whatever) title that Jacobs holds..... you know, the very same bull**** title that Golovkin "defended" in his attempts to break Hopkins record...... is about to be removed, because it is bullshht

that bull**** " title " did not even exist back in Hopkins day, and it is about to be removed..... so yea, you f@gs who intend to undermine a truly great fighter and **** all over the integrity of boxing, simply because of your creepy man-love for Golovkin..... should leave the planet now.

I think Jacobs is going to vacate. I don't think he takes the fight unless the #s are really favorable. And it looks like it won't be.

[wrecksracer]

I bet Jacobs vacates that phony title of his. He seems to think that he has paid his dues and deserves more.....you know....for a fighter of his "stature".

Sorry! I don't know the WBA too much? All I know is they like to have TWO Champions in every weight class so it's hard to respect them. What is their requirement on splits??? Since both are like Champions to them???

they actually have 3 " champions " in every weight class LMAO

super, regular, interim

super champion = the actual WBA champion
regular champion = the WBA #1 contender
interim champion = I have no idea who this guy is supposed to be LMAO

the WBA announced a while back that they are aware of the situation, they admitted that the situation is unacceptable, and they promised to remove the bull**** titles as they become vacant

this is apparently one step in that direction

but it is annoying that in 2 years time Golovkin will claim to have beaten Hopkins record by defending a title that..... 1) did not exist back when Hopkins was king..... and 2) no longer exists as it was removed by the greedy WBA themselves

and yep, that is actually going to happen SMH

and a lot of f@gs on this site will support it

[robbyheartbaby]

For fucks sake this fight better happen.

I know that's all I have to add, just get it done for the love of all that's good in boxing!

I bet Jacobs vacates that phony title of his. He seems to think that he has paid his dues and deserves more.....you know....for a fighter of his "stature".

that is exactly what he should do if he is offered 850k like that earlier poster suggested

he is not the WBA middleweight champion, Golovkin is

that bull**** title is about to be removed anyway.... so Jacobs would be a fkn idiot to allow Team Bull**** to stall the negotiations in order to force a purse bid, just like they did with Canelo

he should dump that shht and tell them to make him a real offer
