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

[CaneloMaidana]

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".

12 of Golovkin's defenses were with that phony title.

[CaneloMaidana]

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.

You think it'll be a 3 million dollar purse bid? You're confused. Showtime would love Golovkin vs Jacobs and over 5 million is likely.

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)

Your example makes no sense.

Golovkin is more than likely to beat Canelo

Golovkin and Canelo aren't going to purse bid. When they were going to purse bid Canelo is the one who vacated lol.

Golovkin and Canelo both fight on HBO.

Canelo has to deal with fan pressure to make the fight and eventually come to a mutual agreement.

You're not very good at this friend.

LOL so Team Jacobs are really trying to change the rules and asked the WBA to change the splits for a mandatory fight? That is quite disgusting.

It's within the rule to ask for split changes.

[Elroy The Great]

this will happen.

Golovkin turned down 10 million for Canelo but Golovkin can offer 850k to Jacobs and he must jump
Hypocrite.

For September 2016? Source or it didn't happen.

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

Yeah that's not right! At least Hopkins fought Roy Jones Jr.

I'm sure GGGoons will say Monroe = Jones Jr. both slick, technical, HIGHLY skilled FUTURE HOFamers!!!!

I'm actually still in shock from some GTard said GGG has already DESTROYED same or if not better fighters than Cotto and Lara???

I mean that's how FKN ****** his fans are.

I can see why he only had 97K PPV buys??? They have ZERO $$$ left over from the betting they ALWAYS lose! I'm sure they ALL bet GGG in round 1 by KO within 10 seconds.

Wow. Even his promoter and trainer admit it but want percentage.

Doubt it! HBO isn't going to put this on HBO PPV. And someone already said something about PPV talks???

I don't know what HBO is thinking??? But BOXING seems to be the LAST thing on their list! I mean they turned down a GREAT fight and UNDERCARD with Manny/Vargas. That fight is more known than Jacobs/GGG.

Because HBO would rather pay for a Crawford fight for Manny easier to market and more lucrative for them. Plus if Crawford wins the torch gets past to him ,more exposure for the casuals to find out who he is. Remember this a business and Vargas is not as well known as Crawford.
