[OnePunch]

Danny Garcia has at least moved up... what's your hard on for Lil'G? Sad #48 lost to Floyd?

not really a #48 fan, but nice try

It will be very interesting to see if the WBA sets an ugly precedent by breaking thier own rules on the pursesplit. I see Jacobs demand as a way to prevent the inevitable KTFO of happening.

No KO's are inevitable in boxing...unless you're psychic..

What demand did Jacobs make??

A rulechange on pursesplit.

You sure that was Jacobs and not the WBA themselves?

You drastically over-estimate the damage that Gennady Golovkin is actually capable of inflicting in a fight where his opponent is actually punching him back.

Kassim Ouma, Gabriel Rosado, Kell Brook and others have all put hands on Golovkin, and have all made it out of said fight, living and more than ready to fight on.

Daniel Jacobs may hit the betting books as the underdog, but he's a live underdog, who can go from fighting for Sergio Mora money to fighting for 3-5 times Sergio Mora money if he pulls through.

scared money don't make money.

Funny you bring up those 3 names because all took on some damage.

Ouma took a beating that had him off the ring for 2+ years.

Rosado was so traumatized all he could do was cry about how Golovkins gloves had to be illegal because he had never been cut by a punch. His eyes were never the same. He would have beat that bum quillin if ggg had caused no damage.

Brook had an orbital fracture and will never be the same.

But hey, that ggg guy does no damage doe.

Jacobs went down against mora, and out against pirog, but that ggg fellow is not at their level doe.

Seems like a logical question, but what does the WBA stand to gain with such a rule change? Why would they decide to change it right now for this particular match-up, assuming they weren't asked by some outside party?

I wonder when boxing is gonna go the GoFundMe route lol

Canelo gave up his belt to avoid fighting GGG, without making him any offers whatsoever. That's not my narrative, that's a fact.

So the 8figure offer golden boy made to loeffler and then counter offer loeffler sent to golden asking for at least a Floyd/manny split is not a offer?

you could make the same argument about Danny Garcia, yet you clowns dont start 20 new hate threads every day about him. Hmmm, I wonder why. Oh, its because your man-crush Haymon can do no wrong.....

Danny Garcia doesn't have clown fans like you who call him an ATG or prance around like little girls talking about how feared and avoided he is. Don't make dumbass assumptions that I am a Haymon fan because you have no substance in your reply.

[soul_survivor]

Jacobs his pissing away his biggest fight

Pursebids are asked for lots of times dude.

Oh and you haven't told me why you blame Loeffler (and for what btw) unless you blame him in this instance because you have blamed him in the past, but surely that's not a proper reasoning for an experienced fan of the sport like yourself is it? So it must be something else. Please tell.

Purse bids happen but aren't ASKED for lots of times, especially when fighters are represented by well established promoters.

You're ignoring my point and searching for me to say something argumentative so you can deflect. The question remains, if you NEVER see Trip in a meaningful fight, at what point do you point the finger at him and his team?

To hear you and others tell it, it's ALWAYS the other fighter or promoters fault....ENTIRELY. That's not realistic nor is it representative of boxing history.
