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

[The Akbar One]

Sure it's clear he wants retirement money to get in the ring with Ggg. Pricing yourself out is not something to defend.

You stating he's pricing himself out, when it is clear that the 75-25 split mandated by the WBA is what is actually holding the fight up, is comical.

That's only mandated if it goes to purse bids. What's holding up the fight is that Jacobs needs 10-12 weeks or training and is nowhere near ready, and that he passes on 2 Quillins while posting lousy numbers

[Tomjas]

You stating it flopped has no bearing on the issue at hand which is that Jacobs isn't fighting Golovkin for what he deems an inappropriate purse amount.

I'm sure that promoters will be absolutely falling over themselves to incur a loss just so Jacobs can be paid an appropriate purse amount

im a dj fan but.............

FCUK WHAT HE WANTS !!!!!!!!!!!!

get that a55 in there and beat this 3g guy. or get beaten. dont add bullshlt to the mix. 1st its the money, now you want to add a person. what the fnck is next ?

[Bigg Rigg]

Smh Boxing couldn't even get this done for me

[Sparked_26]

How much did he get for that Quillin fight?

Seems that has ruined Jacobs appetite for the sport basically. I imagine he wants to get paid relative to that or he doesn't want to fight.

In a way it is reasonable but as boxing fans this is why the sport is on its arse. If someone digs out 500k to fight Sergio Mora again he'll fight him in an hour.

Even mandatories try and get out of fights, ffs.

Flopped would be Golovkins foray into the PPV arena. If Mr. A-side GGG hadn't went triple plastic in PPV buys, then this fight wouldn't be in the predicament it is in now.

I like Jacobs and think that he is the a worthy challenger whilst being one of the most exciting fighters out there

HOWEVER, he could not draw flies to a turd and that's why he was paid 500k for his last fight with allegedly an undercard fighter being responsible for 70% of the crowd in the arena.

He needs to decide whether he wants to be the no. 1 MW with the ability to write his own cheque or a relative nobody fighting in backwaters because there is only so much money to be made from a fight with a guy from Kazakhstan in the US

I like Jacobs and think that he is a worthy challenger whilst also being one of the most exciting fighters out there
