Danny Jacobs wants an interim fight before Golovkin! Jacobs is ducking GGG!

[HeroBando]

I've also kept quiet, hoping the fight would get made with no problems. If this is true about Jacobs, it's even more disgraceful than Eubank's bull**** earlier this year.

You think so? Eubank was yapping about wanting Ggg, Jacobs was always if the money's right. Which is bad attitude for a Mando that will cost him his regular belt, but he didn't leave 4m+ on the table either. What was the reason Eubank vacated his Wba interim to drop down to British level?

On Sep 14, Keith Connolly (Jacobs’ longtime advisor) said to The Ring that they want a PPV fight and that:
... "if the money is right, we’ll take the fight. If the fight needs to be built up to make the right type of money, we’ll do it in a couple of fights."

What more did you expect from this?

(Well, I was waiting for Showtime or some mysterious Kazaky mobsters to come up with "the right money", but they didn't.)

there is no right money. the right moeny is always more than what is offered. some guys just dont want to fight other guys. happens a lot in boxing.

Because hes is ducking?

Terrible if true. Surely it can't be any surprise though, it was only a couple of months ago when he was saying how much he would want to fight Golovkin.

The thing i don't get is why the likes of Jacobs start saying they want the fight and then when it comes to the fight happening and it can be mandated, they don't want it. Fair enough if they don't want it, but don't talk **** before hand, it just makes them look even worse. Probably best to just stay quiet.

Exactly. These guys get the publicity and recognition without having to actually make the fight. Where did this "interim fight" nonsense come from all of a sudden? Be careful what you wish for Billy Joe, you might just get it. Nope that fight won't happen either.

I was only quoting them: "if the money is right, we’ll take the fight"... That's what they actually said...

Yeah that's harsh. Danny is a very nice guy, and a good boxer. None of these guys are cowards, they just don't wanna fight Ggg, not next at least

[Zaryu]

How shocking... Not :-\

nah i gotta go with eubank for sure. eubank jr pretended he wanted the fight, got an insane 5 million plus purse and still turned it down. jacobs was the interim champ so he kind of had to pretend like he wanted to fight but obv he didn't and tried his best to torpedo the fight gracefully but now the jig is up an he has the coward label.

With Eubank I always felt he was running off out the mouth. He wasn't ready and talked himself into a corner. I also think that fight not happening was more Eubank Sr. ****ing it up than his son not wanting it. They thought they had more leverage than they did and it blew up in their face.

Jacobs has also run his mouth about wanting the fight and has been Golovkin's mandatory for a long time now. He's also a proven middleweight. For him to duck using excuses like "I want another interim fight" would be worse than Eubank IMO.
