If the WBA changes the split.......

[The Comic DON]

Was the 3 mil flat fee?? Is the fight gonna be on PPV or regular HBO?? Remember bro Jacobs is dangerous. I favor GGG but Jacobs can crack and isn't dumb.. 10 million to be honest I believe this fight is worth that.... Wilder vs Pevetkin was over 7 and this is bigger then that.. it does better then GGG v Lemieux since GGG has the Aura of Canelos Boogeyman.



Asking for a higher purse percentage is within the rules. You say average; ok they both have fought guys below them in skill. What does that make GGG??

To pretend Golovkin and Jacobs resumes are similar is asinine within itself and requires no answer. Fact is Golovkin is champion and should get lionshare. Jacobs should be less focused on money and more focused on getting the belts and Golovkin's scalp. Then he can demand big money in the rematch.

Seems to me Jacobs isn't sure of victory.

He's not trying to shaft anyone. Everyone here KNOWS Jacobs is not worth the 40%. Yes, we say give it to him cause we wanna see the fight get made but that clown can't even sell out in his own hometown.

And before Oscar, Floyd couldn't crack 400k in PPV sales and Pac couldn't hit 3 but they still sold 2.4 and 1.5 Mil when the fought. What I'm trying too say is Jacobs raises GGG profile, combine this with GGG's boogeyman status and Jacobs redemption story and power and you get money.

That's overstating it a bit. He just wants the risk to be commiserate with the reward. Manny Pacquiao nearly pulled out of the Hatton fight because he wanted more money. Antonio Tarver fought for more than 25% against Roy Jones and got it. And on and on. I doubt either was scared.

those were voluntary fights and not a mandatory.

And YES there is a difference.......

Asking for more money means you're not confident? Yes or no.

[Elotero]

....theres a part of me that hopes GGG tells them to take the belt and stick it up their arse and let Jacobs go fight Mora for a 3rd time for 500k

I really want to see GGG-Jacobs, and I would like to see GGG ultimately unify the titles, but this is ridiculous.

Everyone is running their mouths about who deserves what, and blah blah blah. Send it to bid under the current rules and lets see what happens.

Who was it that told Nate Campbell to NOT fight Joan Guzman and NOT get paid after guzman was only a couple pounds over?

Werent you telling Nate to fight Tim Bradley in a court parking lot too?

You havent the slightest idea what you're talking about when it comes to the Guzman fight.

And as for the Bradley situation, I did not tell Nate to fight Bradley in the parking lot. I told Nate that if he felt he needed to straighten him, I had plenty of bail money on me.

Stay in your own lane......

They're not similar but GGG isn't leagues ahead of him. GGG has the better overall resume but Quillin; love or hate is better then all of GGG's opponents.

Floyd was p4p #1 so was PAC and they took less money for Dela Hoya, so champ and prestige mean squat in the face of numbers sometimes.... GGG isn't that much ahead of Jacobs so make a few concessions, beat him and earn your a better deal in negotiations with Nelo... that's right Jacobs is an asset too GGG in terms of future monetary earning.... Jacobs has just enough hype around him too be perceived a threat Golovkin to the public with his demolition of Quillin and his only lose being too Proto Golovkin( Which can easily be explained away). Instead of a fight GGG should consider it an investment...

I don't think Jacobs is scared but he's acting like this is the last fight of his career. If Jacob's is getting between 2 and 3 million I don't see how anyone can defend him turning that down the fight. And no I can't see Golovkin making much more than that.

Jacobs is trying to bleed the promoters dry. He wants money to appear out of nowhere. And yes I blame this on solely Jacobs. Not K2, GGG, Dibella, or Haymon but just Jacobs. I bet a million bucks Dibella and Haymon are telling Jacobs it's good money and he's like " Nope I need more than that G."

2 to 3 million is more than want Lemieux and Golovkin made when they faced one another. It more than what he made when he faced Quillin.

And the examples you used were during negotiations. This topic is on the purse bid splits. Tarver and Manny didn't go to the sanctioning buddies to request a bigger split in case of a purse bid. It Jacobs allows it to go to bid he should get the split he's entitled to.

Once again, hyperbole. I don't think he's acting like it's the last fight of his career. I honestly am not all that enthused about him getting 40% but 25% is ludicrous. Let's see what the final offers are from each side.
