It's already embarrassing. His trainer says he needs more time to train, but they've been training since Oct. 4th.

Undoubtedly that aspect is complete nonsense and why I cannot be too optimistic, I mean why come out with that load of ****? However if the fight happens in January and if it's on PPV and it's a better deal for Jacobs than earlier offers in the negotiations then I suppose then I can't blame them, as ultimately they got a better deal for themselves for a fight they will surely lose.

he was in the gym merely to stay in shape. he wasn't in training camp.

My first reaction to all of this is, Danny is already in or close to fighting shape having just fought Mora...so does he need time to recover from Mora fight before starting training camp? I'm not a trainer and Rozier probably forgot more than I know, so I wont act like I know better than him.

just sounds odd.

The only thing we know for sure is that Jacobs wanted 60/40. And the other thing we just found out is that Jacobs wasn't ready for December so how the hell is this K2's fault? Come on, man. You blame them for everything

Well, I certainly do blame them for calling an early purse-bid to enable them to manipulate Team Jacobs into (what will almost certainly end with them) passing on that fight.

Golovkin is struggling to set the PPV world on fire, mostly for 2 reasons..... 1) he seems completely unwilling to fight a marquee opponent 2) the public are no longer listening to his excuses

considering that point, it would seem wiser to actually make the fight with Jacobs, considering that there really aren't any more credible opponents who are an easier fight.

I mean, Jacobs isn't exactly a killer..... surely they can at least make a mid-level fight..... surely? SMH

No, my claim is that when Hearn mentioned the relatively-unknown, completely-undeserving, WELTERWEIGHT, Kell Brook..... Team Bull**** did not start crying about money, they split the pot fairly with Hearn because they actually wanted to fight Brook.

So what is your proof that they did not want Chris Eubank Jr. from the get go?

Do you not think team Eubank not signing a contract at the last minute was a contributing factor to K2 accepting Brook as an opponent for Golovkin?

Don't know the other offers , but low balling the 1st True Middleweight legit test says Alot

No point talking about proof with this fruitcake. He went over the edge into complete irrationality long ago. He accepts facts only if they fit his agenda and either dismisses them as lies or simply ignores them if they don't.

You might as well ask a ****** fundamentalist what proof he has that Muhammad split the moon in two, or a bible bashing Christian for proof that Jesus was still walking around talking to his disciples 3 days after he died!

That says it all. Hey did you hear team Jacobs was never ready for December anyway? They need 10-12 weeks training

no, that is ridiculous

that is actually an absurd suggestion

what on earth would lead you to suggest such a thing ?

If they were not 100% happy, they would walk, and make other arrangements..... like they just did with the Jacobs date.
