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

[pacmanis1]

I've already said 67/33 would be ideal for Jacobs but I'd rather see him give up the 8% and fight GGG than another Mora. Just make the ****** fight.

It works both ways. The fact you guys keep saying GGG needs to give guys way more than they're worth to fight him is a subconscious admission that you know all these fighters are DUCKING him, and that GGG should bend over backwards trying to get them to stop ducking. Wouldn't it be simpler to just blame the people ducking him, instead of arguing over whether GGG does enough to accommodate duckers? They are duckers. They will always find a way to duck.

I've never been one of the people to say GGG should bend over backwards. I've put plenty of blame on Jacobs for asking for crazy amounts of money that he's not worth. I've criticized Jacobs for asking for a superstar payday when he's not a superstar. Let's be real though, even at 60/40, Jacobs isn't making the 3 million he wants.

To be honest I'm just at a point though where I'm sick of arguing about what fighters should make. I'm not the one being paid. I lose more sleep over good fights not being made than I do over fighters taking bad splits.

Really don't know why people are even arguing this fight to happen. The fight is a waste of ggg time, Jacob has been spoiled and should have never been paid anything over 1.2mil and that's being generous. In other words Jacob is not worth a food stamp. Let ggg unify all the belts so he can move up in weight isn't that what all you idiots want? Jacob is not beating ggg anybody who knows boxing knows this and even a cracked up mayweathr snr knows this and has stated that no one beats ggg at 160

60 -40 sounds fair .....watch the ggg fans say jacobs doesnt dersevr it

Really?

How much did Jacobs and Bumlovkin make in their last bouts? If the difference isn't a 75/25 ratio then Bumlokvin doesn't deserve 75%. Period, end of...

GGG's last fight in the UK generated 500 pay per view buys and received a $5 Million purse and thats without any sky PPV upside. Jacobs purse was less than a million for the Mora 2 rematch.

Period of End of Story buddy.

Also, WBA rules stipulate that the Super Champion receive 75% of the money in any event of a purse bid. Rules are rules -- End of Story.

Nope it is not clear so stop making things up in your head. You messed up and jumped instead of reading and now lool like an idiot but please continue. Reading dumb people posts is fun at times

And if you did the math then please dont ever be an accountant

GGG's side denied the offer for the interim fight. Jacobs side did not deny it. They wanted it. If you can't read I'm sorry for you. I can only conclude you're a Floyd fan.

It sounds like you could use some educating on this, so let's just look at Jacobs own words.

"Yeah, GGG is on the list but its all about doing it when it makes sense," said Jacobs. "I'm not going to have people force me..."

Is Jacobs worth a 60-40 split? Hear it from his own mouth, he couldn't even sell out his hometown venue.

"I don't know what else I can do ... It's frustrating because I wasn't even able to sell out of the Barclays Center when I fought Peter Quillin. Two black fighters, from Brooklyn. It had the recipe for a sellout crowd and it wasn't sold out."

The card headlined by Jacobs-Quillin drew an announced crowd of 8,443 to Brooklyn's Barclays center on December 5, not even half of a sellout (oh ****!).

Regardless, Jacobs wants to fight Golovkin sometime in 2017. He didn't divulge the specific figure that'll make the Golovkin fight more appealing to him, but stressed that it'll need to be markedly more than he has been offered thus far.

"It just wasn't the number we were looking for," said Jacobs, who is advised by Al Haymon. "...I made a career-high, on record, of $1.5 million for the Quillin fight. And to have it kind of close to that, I was like, 'Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.'

"I've sad I want to fight Triple-G within the next year. So definitely 2017 is probably gonna be the calender [year] when we step into the ring..."

Yo. It's still 2016. And you wonder who is preventing the fight? Who don't want it yet? You have to be some kind of ****** man. But hey, maybe hearing some of this lyrical genius will help your mind improve.

60 -40 sounds fair .....watch the ggg fans say jacobs doesnt dersevr it

And the other side says GGG doesn't deserve 60-40 vs Canelo when GGG is by far a bigger star than JACObs

been there but todays new age fans care more about that then actual fights. So if you want to talk boxing you have to join in.

2 good fighters fight and its not about fight its about how much they made and what the ratings were

Still trying to get that foot out mouth huh

Maybe it was just their subconscious

[Derranged]

Not reading through 8 pages of this crap. Just make the fuckin fight already....

[ThatDude44]

They should have just sent the fight to purse bid, October 22nd would leave very little time for the fight to take place in early December.

I would hope the fighters are preparing themselves as if the fight is on.
