so basically, the WBA just laughs in the background because K2 wins either way. lol I mean if they don't fight, it's still a win win situation for Loeffler. Remember, the WBA ordered the mando, knowing GGG and Jacobs, I doubt they cared to fight. Last I remember from beating Brook, Golovkin specifically stated he wanted Saunders. The WBO. hence the legacy for all the belts. What does Gennady care of the ''Regular'' belt.

They'd shi.t a brick if Jacobs accepted their offer.

67/33 would be ideal but at the end of the day neither team is paying me and I just want to see the fight get made. 75/25 or 50/50 whatever, the only thing that affects my bank account is whether or not its on PPV.

Oh ok. So you were talking about a number to get the fight made. But realistically we know Jacobs does NOT deserve 40%.

I have still..... from the beginning of time, to this very day..... never heard 1 single human being ever refer to Kell Brook as a lucrative opponent !

..... oh, until Golovkin wanted to fight him, that is LMAO


Kell " cash-cow " Brook LMAO

Straight question ... do you believe that GGG vs Jacobs would sell enough PPVs in the States to pay GGG and Danny the same money as GGG and Brook made in the UK? That's $4 million plus each?

Bear in mind, GGG and Lemieux made $4 million between the two of them on HBO PPV, and that fight only just broke even for K2.

Well 25% isnt gonna get the fight done. So somewhere 30-40% is totally reasonable. I mean what are Golovkin's other options?

(Se my other post. Sorry can't double quote on mobile.)
Reasonable as far as trying to make the fight but Jacobs definitely doesn't deserve 40%. GGG's other option could be Saunders I guess? Idk.

They'd shi.t a brick if Jacobs accepted their offer.

Saunders has a defence of his own coming up so won't be available this Dec. GGG needs an opponent for that date and I'm sure he'd happy if that opponent was Jacobs.

But does Jacobs want the fight? We'll soon find out.

80-20 split with GGG getting the lions share. Fight in the Barclays/MSG and give Jacobs the home field advantage. No big deal for Golovkin with that. I thought, and still think Kell Brook was a very game opponent (for as long as it lasted) with GGG, and would fare very well against top tier WW/SWW's in the USA. He will be back I'm sure. And hungry for another championship caliber fight. he stepped up to a real challenge, and deserves a shot at all other lower weight division champs in WW and SWW.

You're a joke. How many times you've been served up this quote, a dozen?

‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.’

GGG turned down 10 million to fight Canelo

That old bi.tch does not want any tough fights...his reflexes are shot to hell and he and his team know it.

[aboutfkntime]

Brook and GGG sold out the O2 in 12 minutes

Jacobs and Quillin couldn't even get a sellout in their hometown arena.

Brooks and GGG had 800k viewers on HBO and 500k UK ppv buys.

Jacobs and Quillin had 400k viewers on Sho.

So just going off those numbers why does Jacobs deserve as much as Brook?

Because.....

Because Golovkin is the draw, not Brook, and not Jacobs..... so the money will be there..... Jacobs is a much better opponent than the welterweight Kell Brook, and Golovkin must be desperate to raise his profile for the following reasons..... a) because his last USA PPV flopped..... b) because he is widely criticised for being a hypejob who has fought nobody and who seems to be avoiding difficult opponents

Golovkin should be prepared to split the pot more fairly with Jacobs, like he did with Brook, because it would be much better for his stagnant career.
