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

[Hougigo]

Well, the WBA did mandate Golovkin/Fletcher and K2 was able to convince them not to force that fight, but then that's how Danny got his title. Maybe Eubank saves the day and throws himself on the Blanco grenade?


As for what you said about Danny - you're just a hater. Danny had cancer and he's the face of Brooklyn Boxing in Pennsylvania! He'll get 1.3 Peter Quillin's for a Caeleb Truax rematch on the next Danny Garcia tune-up fight undercard.

Didn't he already vacate it instead? I could see him doing that though and saying it's on his path to GGG and he's building it up. I wouldn't put it past him. And the WBA will be all for it because it means more money for them.

Danny has leverage... he has that Brooklyn Barclay Belt... Golovkin doesn't even have a MSG belt

And you're one of them parading around as a fan of the sport. While your bias for a certain group pours thru your pores.

No fan of the sport would be ok with Jacobs vacating like you are.

certain group? Please elaborate

And I'm not ok with it and never said that. I said oh well cause thats all i can do and you too. I want it to happen much more than GGG fans do.

[The Comic DON]

but both Jacobs and Golovkin are champs, why no 60/40 split??

Because Jacobs isn't the Interim Champion.

The Interim Champion is supposed to act as the active champion while the regular is out injured. Wouldn't be fair for a guy to be defending champion but when the injured fighter comes back he gets the split of a challenger.

WBA's regular belt is just a tool the WBA uses to collect fees.

So technically WBC's Interim Championship holds more weight than WBA's current version of the Regular Championship.

It's confusing because WBA is a bunch of greedy ****s that are taking advantage of the system.

This is enough for Jacobs to weasel out. Look for him to join the ranks of all those who has ducked GGG.

[ThatDude44]

Ok, now we're passed that. Make he fight.

[Fetta]

Yawn

So nothing about the certain group you confused me with huh.

And yes

[Jubei]

Doesnt Al Haymon care about paying his fighters well?? He could just bid $12M for the fight, so Jacobs gets his $3M right?

I don't have time to be going through people's post history and I doubt it goes back that far anyway. I've been here long enough and seen plenty of your posts.

You DEFINITELY DIDN'T say "it was ok" doe.

Truth is, without that crap title Jacobs would have probably been better off in negotiations for this fight. Now, with that purse bid looming over, his only true negotiating chip is the threat of dropping the title, or the threat of haymon winning the bid. Team Golovkin knows their guy needs a big MW fight. Or at least I hope they do. This fight doesn't happen in purse bid. So I would expect both sides to figure something out within the next week.
