    What else do you expect? if he were a draw at least, but it's not even the case.

    Having said that... If I was GGG's team I would offer 70-30 or even 65-35 just to have the fight done, which is what GGG needs.
    I'm just asking how it works. I don't pay any attention to the ABC side of things because it couldn't be less interesting to me. You know me, I'm just into the technique and science.
    Why do you act like everything is some kind of slander, FFS??? That's paranoia. Loosen up brudda.

    Thank you! That was a clear explanation.

      That's the thing though. We dunno what GGG's side offered or if they even tried to offer anything above 75-25. Maybe they tried to do 70-30 and Jacobs still said no? Thus Loeffler pushed for the purse bid. He might had said **** them (Jacobs' team) let's go to purse bid then.

      Hypothetically speaking, is 70-30 still not good enough? Jacobs' can't even sell out in his own hometown and viewership is doodoo.

          Why does Jacob deserve more than twenty five percent?

            No joke! If I say 4 good things about Golovkin they attack me for not saying 5.
            If I want to get irrationally attacked I'll go give my wife some opinions about her wardrobe and makeup.

              Cmon, lets hear it.......
              give the man 35 percent so we can get a ****ing decent fight..thats all i am saying

                75-25 is not the least bit laughable. Golovkin is one of the biggest names in boxing today. Jacobs is literally nobody and had **** drawing power fighting another Brooklyn fighter in Brooklyn. Seriously, Jacobs needs to face reality. He's a complete nobody.

                It's the mandatory split, he's known it forever, and if he isn't happy about that oh ****ing well. Beat Golovkin and you'll demand huge money going forward.

                  So why does GGG get credit for defending that same regular title?

                    In retrospect Quilin was just another bum. Jacobs' got a shot at three belts. Any non p*ssy would take it.
