Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs: WBA Denies Request To Modify Purse Bid Split

[HeroBando]

You have a poor understand, like most Gigi fans.

Jacobs did not mean he was offered the equivalent amount of 2 Quiilan fights...you useless scab.

Funny how they didn't have trouble negotiating with that WW.

Well what did he mean, you moronic disgrace?

‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.’

so does anybody know when is the purse bid? I know the wba gave an extension but this thing is seriously dragging on way too long.

A percentage of the fight is better than a flat fee

a fair split, is better than a low-ball

Remember now....they only like boxing when fighters are underpaid.

The Peasant demographic don't like to see people making money.

they extended it by a month, about 5/6 days ago..... so, 3 weeks

that was a complete waste of time considering the fact(s) that
* Team Golovkin requested an early purse bid
* the WBA themselves refused to modify the purse-bid split

it's like, they don't want the fight either LMAO

75/25 is the split Jacobs knew would be enforced all along. If he asks for a lot more than that, its safe to say that he is pricing himself out.

Maybe 2017

BY MITCH ABRAMSON
A target date of Dec. 10 has remained the favored destination point for the middleweight championship between Gennady Golovkin and Danny Jacobs.

But Jacobs won’t fight Golovkin on Dec. 10, Jacobs’ trainer Andre Rozier told ******.com on Tuesday. It’s simply not enough time for Jacobs to prepare with the sides still trying to broker a deal. The fight is now being planned for early 2017, the trainer said.

“From my fighter’s point of view, it’s not going to happen,” Rozier told THE RING of Dec. 10. “We haven’t really even started to gear up (for training) and we’re talking about six weeks to get it all together. Honestly, from my standpoint, I wouldn’t let him fight on Dec. 10. That’s just the bottom line. I would tell them we’re not fighting Dec. 10. It’s not enough time to prepare.”

Rozier would need “at least 10 to 12 weeks” for Jacobs, who holds a secondary title and is Golovkin’s WBA mandatory, to get ready. The plan is to send Jacobs away to camp. Jacobs is in the gym just staying in shape until word comes of a deal but he’s also of the mindset the bout won’t happen on Dec. 10, Rozier said. Another source also indicated the fight is now being sketched for the first quarter of 2017. Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler, Jacobs advisor Keith Connolly and Golovkin trainer Abel Sanchez all didn’t immediately return calls for comment.

Rozier’s remarks are the latest twist in a negotiation that has been anything but easy. The two sides apparently have until Friday to agree to terms or a purse bid will be ordered, though no formal announcement has been made by the WBA. Loeffler has spoken of trying to reach a deal with Al Haymon, who handles Jacobs, before the purse bid process starts, especially since the WBA recently rejected Jacobs’ attempt to increase the percentage purse split from 75-25 in favor of Golovkin to 60-40.

Rozier thinks the fight would be better served if it happens in early 2017, anyway, from a promotional standpoint. “Why is it being rushed? It’s a huge event,” he said. “It would be ludicrous to think it would (happen Dec. 10). It’s not a club show.”

How the **** does that happen? Jacobs knew he had a big fight lined up, now he's not ready?

Yeah. Man, I come up with some wild theories sometime and I'm well aware this one will be considered out there but 2 possibilities wriggled into my head. Danny and Rozier seemed all keen and the fight was just about to be signed, and then it's delays, stalling, the excitable Sherdog 'source' suddenly shuts the **** up..

1) Haymon may have more funds available at the start of FY 2017, why not stall til then when, maybe, the funds would be available to win a purse bid?

1) Haymon has every reason to prefer Golovkin to continue fighting sub-par opposition and every reason to waste another Golovkin date. Why not stall until it's too late to get a decent Dec 10th replacement. Just smart business from Haymon.

Or maybe Danny just forgot he had a fight coming up?

" would be enforced " ?

genius, Jacobs expected a negotiation in good faith

I think you missed the point

look..... you're right, Team "we-really-do-want-to-fight, honest" can "enforce" whatever they like..... and then, Jacobs will obviously walk

congratulations, you just ate what Golovkin has been feeding you for years

you clowns don't want that fight, you want a legitimate excuse for when the fight falls over

you just want to run around spouting that "dey duckin doe" bull****
