Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs: The WBA Wants Deal, Gives Purse Bid Extension

[HeroBando]

Does anyone find it strange that GGG's team are playing hardball when they are usually the ones making concessions? 75-25 is probably about fair considering GGG has 3 legitimate belts and Jacobs has no other big fights on the horizon, but if GGG isn't willing to make the fight at 70-30 who does he face? Both need this fight and both should be willing to make some concessions but I find it strange that the team that usually makes concessions to get fights is suddenly unwilling to offer anything above the mandated minimum percentage.

Perhaps it's that GGG's team finally fear that they have something to lose unlike when they are facing basically any other middleweight. I see this as being both teams fault if they don't finalize this deal.

You're very confused. 75/25 is the purse bid terms. Per Jacobs they'd already offered him 2 Quillins which is way more than 25%, but that wasn't enough for this mando

[World Champion?]

but, that is exactly what I have been saying..... EXACTLY

the Brook fight took " 2 minutes " to make, because Team Golovkin were willing to split the pot fairly with Hearn..... and the reason why they were willing to split the pot fairly with Hearn, is because they actually wanted that fight, it was THEIR FIRST CHOICE..... but with Jacobs, oh no..... we gotta play hardball and go to purse bid LMAO

It looks to me like Golovkin would prefer to fight yet another no-hoper for 2mil, and Jacobs is down the list, if at all.

no idea why they don't just fight the man, like they did with Brook

but it is hard to imagine that the guy who passed up 10mil to fight Canelo is going to lift his little finger to fight Danny Jacobs

when something happens once, it can be a coincidence..... when something happens twice, that is a pattern..... when something happens 3 times or more, that is a gameplan..... Team Golovkin are incapable of putting Gennady in harms way, because they have no intention of ever doing so

surely they could have landed him a meaningful fight by now ?

how the fk could Mr AnyoneFrom154-168 totally refuse to negotiate with lil old 153lb Cotto, who happened to be the best possible payday on the planet?

people are ridiculous for continuing to buy into that rubbish

it has become childishly obvious

I disagree with your comments about Canelo but even more with your comments about Cotto, but I don't want to argue those points now. I do agree that there are some double standards that may be going on when they can concede and be flexible with a young, raw middleweight (Eubank) and welterweight (Brook), but need to be completely rigid against the #2 guy(in my opinion) in the division.

I don't put much blame on Golovkin for many of the other fights you listed falling through but if this fight falls through because K2 are not willing to concede slightly to make a fight then I will add Golovkin to the list of cherry pickers. I'm ok with fighting weak mandatories in order to try and unify and I'm indifferent to him fighting a welterweight champ when the middleweight you are negotiating with won't sign (as per Eubank's promoter), but I'm not ok with being difficult about making a mandated fight against your divisions next best fighter. We will see what happens.

So why don't they make a split where each fighter can make a reasonable amount. Let's say 2 quillins=$3 million=30% purse. Why was it ok to offer that amount before but not now? Surely the fight is bigger now than ever so there should be more money on offer. I don't see how they can expect to make a fight by offering someone less than the last offer, it's not like Jacobs is losing much by vacating.

When fighting a welterweight(147) Golovkin get's the deal done in 24 hours, a no-brainer!

When fighting CANELO(+ other top fighters) , Golovkin needs several life times to think about it!

WHAT A DUCKING COWARD

*CANELO PUNKED GGG AT 155 & 160*

{CANELO to GGG-"That's what I thought you one-trick pony dumb punching bag, you knew I would destroy you, that's why you ran from me like a girly coward!"}

So 12.5% for Jacobs is fair then? Right, loser?

You have no idea what they offered now, nobody knows. All we know it wasn't enough for this scared Mando. When a deal cannot be worked out they go to purse bids with a preset split.

And lol at 3m = 30%. Do you follow boxing at all?

[TexasCowBoy]

You're so dumb lol. They offered both an interim fight. GGG's side denied it. Jacobs didn't. If Jacobs side also denied it, the article would say "both sides denied it." It's clear Jacobs wanted an interim fight, and GGG's side had to push back against the Haymon-Mendoza tagteam trying to help Jacobs duck the fight.



Exactly. You. Let me ask why did GGG's side have to be so vehement in their denial if Jacobs side denied the interim fight too? If both sides denied it then it would just be a casual "nah neither of us want that. Thanks for asking." For GGG's side to have to be vehement in their denial means Jacobs side was all for it, and GGG's side had to push back strongly and say I don't care what Jacobs side wants, it's time for this fight.

Like I said, if both sides denied the offer, the article would have said both sides. It only said GGG's side denied it. I'd say do the math but maybe that's asking too much, so I did the math for you. Jacobs and GGG haters got exposed, end of story.

Thanks for doing the math because the water these fanboys are drinking is dumbing them down.....Protecting Boxing Cowards is pissing on its fanboys and tells them its raining.....

I don't know what they offered but if it is less than they offered him before then is that fair? That is the question I am asking. Also, 3m=30% was an example which is why I said "let's say" before posting the figure. My point was that if you offered him $3m before, why would he take less now? It seems that 25% would work out to like 1.5-2m which is why I can't understand the offer. We will probably know what has happened by october 12th.

That's what they call "negotiating a purse" u can't accept the first number that gets thrown at you, 75-25 is a bit too low and 60-40 is a bit high, hopefully they can meet somewhere in between to make the fight happen as scheduled without any BS interim fights.

Both men however proved than there are no "warriors" in the sport of pro boxing, fighters have teams that manage their careers and they only care about money, fighters would fight anybody, proof? amateur boxing! all these fighters fought each others in the amateurs for free. So u can't say I support GGG as a pro because he's a warrior that'd do anything to make fights happen since his team is making business decisions to maximise his reward, while criticizing Jacobs for his team doing the exact same thing.
