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

[World Champion?]

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

How would you know he was offered less than previously, confused poster?

You said he was offered $3m in the past and that he would be lucky to get $1.5m this time. So isn't that less or am I missing something?

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.

good post

for the record, the guy who called Canelo a " businessman ".....

* did the exact same thing 2 month's later LMAO
* turned down 10mil to fight Canelo
* forced a purse bid with Jacobs

[aboutfkntime]

Damn i didn't know this story. This is so awesome... GGG wanted to fight for free and they still told him no. What a ****ing boss.

right, grown men fight for free.... right ^^

that kinda makes him a dumb **** for turning down 10mil then doesn't it ???

[Hougigo]

Jacobs doesn't deserve it, but give him 70-30 and make the fight.
More than fair, go to purse bid and get this over with

I missed the part where it said jacobs asked for an interim
Fight

I caught the same thing

NSB the land of dumb people

Mendoza said he offered both sides an interim fight. It doesn't say Jacobs requested an interim fight. Did you read what you posted?

Here it is for you reading comprehension failures http://www.espn.com/blog/dan-rafael/...lks-get-messy:

But the sides apparently aren't getting anywhere in the negotiations. Gilberto Mendoza Jr., president of the WBA, told ESPN.com that there has been discussion by the Jacobs side of a possible interim bout before facing Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs), although Golovkin does not want an interim fight. He wants to do the mandatory fight with Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) as soon as possible, especially because it is such an attractive fight.

Told yall dumbasses.

When you can't read, maybe it's not the best idea to question the information being relayed to you by someone who can. I'm just saying. I not only know the trends in boxing inside out (in this case the trend is fighters find ways to duck GGG), but I can read, and I'm not an idiot, so that's three advantages I have over the Al Haymon fanboys on NSB. Question fellow Haymon fanboys if you want, question certain people, but when I tell you guys something about boxing, best to just accept it, because if I'm telling it to you, I know what I'm talking about, and I actually understand these things, unlike you guys. My thinking is also not completely crippled by bias like Haymon fanboys are, who seem to get more entertainment from "a black fan is wasting 500 million dollars on a failed venture... I mean taking over boxing!" than they do from seeing good boxing matchups, so that gives me an unfair advantage.

Next time if you don't want to look ******, accept what I'm telling you about boxing. Don't question people with superior knowledge, and superior objectivity, unless you want to look like an idiot. Just saying. Free advice.

I made those comments about Cotto because they were relevant.

Why on earth would the guy who ran around for FOUR YEARS saying that he can "beat anyone from 154-168" totally refuse to negotiate on the weight with lil old faded 153lb Cotto..... especially considering the fact that Cotto was his best possible payday?

I am happy to supply links proving the (sometimes bizarre) justifications provided by Team Golovkin to avoid every one of those fights I mentioned..... Cotto was just the best example.

I don't want to argue whenever we have a difference of opinion. If the guy is a fraud he will get found out sooner or later. If he doesn't fight top fighters his legacy will suffer regardless of who was at fault. I just want to see a guy who I think is a good fighter fighting other good fighters (in his division or above preferably).

I will ask you one question. Who would Golovkin have to beat to convince you that he is a) ok b) good and c) great? You can name several fighters.

You said he was offered $3m in the past and that he would be lucky to get $1.5m this time. So isn't that less or am I missing something?

I said 2 Quillins, per Jacobs himself. Dunno if he meant 3m or 2.5, either way most generous for this mando. And I'm saying he'd be lucky to see 1.5m if it went to a purse bid under the standard split. Which has nothing to do with any offers made before the bid is ordered.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Jacobs has zero leverage..


Golovkin doesn't have to concede any purse split.. GGG is guaranteed 75%.. If I'm Golovkin, I don't back down, and either get 75% or jacobs vacates.. Either way Golovkin is in the driver's seat..

Honestly, I see the wbc finding ground in the middle and accept jacobs' request for a different split but won't do 60/40 but will offer 65/35...

beat?..... I just want him to take those fights

Usually..... if you beat a good fighter, it is a good win..... if you beat a very good fighter, it is a very good win..... if you beat a great fighter, it is a great win..... the degree will vary depending on a number of factors, prime, manner of win, controversies, etc..... but that is generally how it works, that way you can cross-compare era's/wins/resumes more effectively.

Golovkin has a bunch of good wins over sub-par competition, a few good wins over solid competition, and 2 very good wins over Murray/Lemieux..... so, to date, he is a very good fighter.

I would even go so far as to say that there are indications that he could be special..... a cultured amateur pedigree, solid pro record, good offensive style with some nice skills/touches..... but like I said, to date..... he is just another very good fighter.

But the reasons (excuses) as to why he is only - to date - a very good fighter..... are starting to pile up.
