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

[OnePunch]

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

exactly. He probably has $12 million under the seat cushions of his G4.........

If we take Sherdog's thread at face value, this may have been a play that Danny's promoters did to see if they can get a better split with K2. He said they agreed on 70/30 right? What if Jacobs said "we'll try to ask WBA for a change" to get them more leverage?

I wouldn't be surprised if K2 said "sure, you do that. But if it doesn't work, you take 65/35 instead of 70/30".

IMO fight still has a high chance of being made. I'd put money on an announcement coming before the purse bid.

sounds like K2 promotions.

Whose the super champ and who's the paper champ of the Wba. Who's bringing the Wbc ibf, Wba and Ibo titles to the negotiations. Of course GGG deserves 75/25 sounds about right to me. But according to you fan boys troll/ haters , Jacobs deserves more money. How in the he'll does that work. I'm Still dumbfounded how some Of you think. K2 trying to destroy the fight. Wow hate runs deep.

What the ****fart. This division is tripping over itself so ****ing badly. If this fight doesn't happen I'm gonna be pissed, even more so for what the ramifications are. It would set such a bad example of why this sport is turning into a joke.

Well, that's that. 75-25 is terrible. I don't like 60-40 either. Such a shame they couldn't find common ground between 30-35%.

I agree. Jacobs is obviously worth more than 25%. He's not as big of a name as Golovkin, but he's still bringing something to the table.

How in the f ck is Jacobs worth 40% . Just
Cause he's with Al Haymon and Pbc who have over price their fighters and match them against no hoppers. I'm glad the Wba stuck to their rules with these begging assses. By the way tell Haymon to come up with the difference for the purse Jacobs wants.

He's worth 25%. Just saying the GGG trolls will jump out and cry in a little bit.

He's reallllllllllllllllllllllllly not. There's absolutely no measure by which Jacobs is even worth 25%. You can look at their live gates, their TV viewership numbers, their internet popularity... anything at all. If Danny wasn't with Haymon he would be fighting for 500k as an undercard fighter.

Here's interest over time per Google.

It'd be funny if Golden Boy wins the purse bid and promotes the fight

GGG needs to do what Kovalev did. Take less money to make fights. Kovalev could have *****ed about taking less money to fight Pascal and Hopkins, he didn't , he took less money and beat both of them. GGG isn't willing to do that for anyone so he gets stuck paying bums under 500,000 to fight him. K2 isn't going to pay Jacobs enough money that's why they want to go to purse bid so GGG will get 75%. If they're not offering Jacobs at least 1.5 mil, he should pass on the fight and chase a fight with Saunders or Canelo. K2 would have never paid Brooks 5 mil to fight GGG, only reason that fight got made was because Hearn was cutting the checks
