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

He will vacate its smart decison,25% is not worth it.

Just for arguments sake, isn't 25% versus GGG more than he would make against anyone else save Canelo?

75 to 25 no way. screw that crap. Jacobs deserves more than that

[Canelo and GGG]

Just for arguments sake, isn't 25% versus GGG more than he would make against anyone else save Canelo?

Idk what offer is on the table so i cant Tell you ,but he can go to 168.

There is no Showtime channel in Canada.

...Yvon Michel has Lucian Bute, Oscar Rivas, Kevin Bizier, and Artur Beterbiev under their banner and seemingly prepped to fight in December (the Bute situation is a bit unclear).

I have no doubt that Michel and DiBella can talk (either working out a deal to bring Bute or Beterbiev over, or simply package Bizier and Rivas on the show), to find a way to give the card enough value for Michel to take home and find a broadcaster for (Canada Indigo or TVA Sports seem to do good business with Michel)

Daniel Jacobs, almost literally, has near no leverage at the weight class without having a piece of the world title; Jacobs tried to get Saunders to fight, and that came up bust anyway.

Jacobs vacates the belt, yet who does he realistic have a chance to fight in his next three bouts?

For a fight on regular HBO, there's been no indication anywhere that Jacobs has been offered $1m, let alone Golovkin being willing to give up a piece of his seemingly guaranteed $2m to help make the numbers work.

If the money doesn't show up in negotiation, Jacobs' camp will look for the money at the bids.

2 Quillins, ****** POS

[Gillie]

you golov-clowns are fkn ******s

so..... Hypekin can turn down 10mil from Canelo, no problem..... but, Jacobs should just roll over and take 25%..... ?

Yes but the GGG vs Canelo fight is absolutely going to happen. I think he should have taken the 10 million as I had posted before but the real difference is that Jacobs only has a regular title as leverage and that isn't much unfortunately. That said, GGG should focus less on the money and more on getting a real challenge in the ring as it negatively impacts him if the fight doesn't come off. His team has to start accenting their responsibility for some of these fights not coming off. Peace.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Stephen Espinoza is making it appear as if he's going to be willing to put more money behind the fight for Lou DiBella than HBO seems willing to put behind the fight for K2.

The bid will likely come down to perceived "pain points"; if Lou DiBella is willing to risk some money in the short term (with the DiBella/Haymon relationship being what it is, and a ton of TV-ready fighters coming along ready for the New York market), how is K2 going to respond to $6m being bid, with no deference paid to HBO?

K2 may not care all that much about the fight, but the fight is basically being set as Jacobs' megafight (Brooklyn kid, fighting back from his illness to be the #2 MW on the planet, taking on the #1 fighter at the weight, in Brooklyn).

Bids are going to be interesting

impossible to tell at the moment, because Peter Nelson is playing this one somewhat close to the vest, and not sending out tweets like the clown Espinosa.....

I seem to remember a lot of GGG critics wanting a purse bid so Haymon would win and force Golovkin to vacate. What happened to that? You'd think these guys would be jumping for joy at the news of a purse bid...

[Gillie]

Idk what offer is on the table so i cant Tell you ,but he can go to 168.

U mean Jacobs at 168? I never even considered that but it would be interesting. That said, if this fight doesn't happen, GGG has to move up to 168 and back down for Canelo. He needs a big fight.

[Mr_Forte]

Y'all are all getting too caught up in the "Split". It ain't about that. We know from Jacobs prior statements he's not concerned with a "split" he's concerned about the "amount". (Why fight GGG for 2M when I can fight Quillen again for 1.5M yada yada)

It seems to me that K2 could offer Danny 50/50...but when Tom says the total purse is 4M he still wouldn't take the deal.

How much do you think this fight is worth? 6 Million? That purse at 70/30 would be 4.2 for GGG and 1.8 for Jacobs. That's only 300K more than he made for Quillin. Do you think Jacobs and Haymon will go for that?
