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

[daggum]

What opponents have he giving as much or almost as much as him before? Don't just make up stuff to fit your agenda buddy this fight is not the Monroe,house arrest guys of the world, it's arguably the #1 and #2 guys getting it on in MW division take your bias glasses off Jacobs would not be trying get split change if it goes to bid if it wasn't for a low ball offer k2 offering because split would be substantially in they favor if did that

brook, eubank jr if he had agreed, lemieux, macklin, stevens, geale were all even or near even purse splits so im not sure how you can say hes cheap. he had to overpay those guys just to get them in the ring.

if ggg isn't box office how is he going to pay jacobs 3 to 5 million? get it now? he can't and thats why the fight isn't getting made. jacobs is acting like ggg is box office so blame him. wants more than floyd opponents when ggg isn't on floyd's level. yet you aren't blaming jacobs at all...you are saying he just wants the best offer. no he wants an impossible offer. you know this yourself you just refuse to be fair. you just said ggg isn't box office so how is he going to give jacobs 3 to 5 million dollars! explain!

GGG isn't paying anyone, K2 is. Jacobs, I remind you, is asking for the same $3 mil they offered Saunders, who is less of a name.

If there is $3 mil for Saunders its hard to argue there isn't at least $3 mil for Danny to fight GGG.

I don't see how you can post its Jacobs fault. K2 set the market value with the offer to BJS. The fact that GGG isn't bankable as you and others think doesn't mean Jacobs should ask for less than K2 was willing to give Saunders.

K2/GGG in effect want to pay the lesser name more money. A few posts ago you asked why should GGG take less than someone not on his level.

why should Jacobs?

He had to travel to fight Brook dude lol, Eubank fight did not happen so how are you count that? Lemieux fight was a ppv unification so idk what your point is in that one also.... and Stevens,geale,and Macklin he made considerably amount more but good try I guess

Monroe 100k to ggg 1.5mil house arrest 500k to ggg2mil but you attempt to go all the way back to macklin and Stevens fights lol

The fight itself is a WCB level fight. I think it gets a little more hype because its the 1st time we will see GGG in with a MW most fans consider top tier.

IMO Jacobs isn't going to win, but I do hope he can bring more out of GGG than the usual dishwasher level guy. I may not be a GGG fan but I have often posted how i think he is very talented and possesses a ton of boxing skill.

I just want to see him in a fight where he is forced to utilize all of his skills.

Here's hoping. TBH the back and forth blame game about why these fights don't happen doesn't interest me much, but it would be disappointing to see Golovkin retire without ever having been in with someone who really stretched him. I'm not sure Jacobs is that guy, but it's a step in the right direction.

excuses up the ass. he had to travel so he didn't offer brook a fair purse split? makes no sense. you said he was cheap but he offered eubank jr 5 mill. makes no sense. lemiuex was ppv unification therefore he had to pay lemieux almost as much as him? hmmm floyd only gave maidana 1.5 to his 35 mill and that was ppv unification so that disproves your silly point. golovkin 350k to macklin 300k considerably more? no. golovkin 750k geale 600k considerably more? no. golovkin 400k stevens 290k considerably more? no.

not a good try to be honest since everything you said was easily disproved.

Golovkin Brook was a Matchroom fight bro. Trip got a flat fee.

Good post. I don't think any real boxing fan wants GGG to replicate Swen Ottke's or Calzaghe's career.

ok so basically to summarize your posts...


GGG ISN'T POPULAR!


WHY ISN'T GGG GIVING JACOBS 5 MILLION DOLLARS!


kinda answered yourself didn't you? not sure how can you say both things at the same time. also saunders comes with uk money, jacobs doesn't so you can't compare the two obviously. same reason brook got 5 million and jacobs won't. they want to pay saunders more because he brings more. you suddently forgot how boxing worked?

Monroe 100k to ggg 1.5mil house arrest 500k to ggg2mil but you attempt to go all the way back to macklin and Stevens fights lol

yep those 2 fights he made a lot more and the rest he didn't. how is he cheap again? because in 2 of his fights he made a lot more than his opponents. hmmm yeah im sure we can check all the haymon fighters and find that almost all their fights they made a lot more but you won't be calling them cheap now will you? fanboys what can you do. don't even realize their hypocrisy. if ggg's cheap then everyone else in boxing is ten times cheaper. you have impossibly high standards for him and no standards for your fav fighters.
