Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Aims To Secure Jacobs Before Purse Bid

[AneesMoha]

Nah, I think it'll be rescheduled. If that happens though. I'd be so disgusted. Yet...I wouldn't be surprised.

We both know that Saunders talks big but when it comes time to put up he runs for the hills. Who do you think would be plan B or C if Jacobs pulls out?

[bigjavi973]

Well la di da im actually surprised at this.

[GaryMSchneider]

Jacobs is clearly the B-side. Jacobs will still make over a million dollars and very likely closer to 2 million. Take the fight. Take GGG's belt and then you can make millions. If Jacobs turns down this fight because of money, then he clearly does not want to fight GGG. End of story.

That is what they are trying to do. the WBA has stated that they only want 1 champion per division so they want to unify their interim, regular and Super belts. Jacobs should of fought Blanco before Golovkin though because if the winner of Jacobs and Golovkin has to fight Blanco I think that would be a step backwards. The WBC normally has their Interim Champion face their Regular champ with in 12 months. So they are also trying to only have 1 Champion per division.

I know but they sure are taking there sweet as time! When do they plan on having only 1 champion??? 2025??? At this rate they might get there.

If that's the case why is Nehomar Cermeno fighting XiaoJun Qui for the WBA Title AND Rigondeaux ordered to fight Mouses Flores for the WBA Title also instead of each other???

Finding a medium is the only way the fight happens. 75/25 won't cut it and ggg will be in the dark fighting another tba or ww on Dec 10. If they want to fight names, they're gonna have to pony up cash. It is what it is. ggg isn't a career defining win, and it won't catapult Jacobs to casual recognition so beating him isn't everything they're making it out to be. So far his win over Quillen is better than anything ggg has done. If the fight happens it happens, but it would be foolish for Jacobs to do a fight and get much less than he's worth to appease ggg's fan base.

GGG and Jacobs both must accept the reality that they are the "b-sides." GGG has way out sold Jacobs, and Canelo has way out sold GGG. Sometimes you have to lose a battle in order to win the war.

UUMMM NO? Canelos last PPV actually TANKED pulling somewhere in 200k and that is on Mexican Holliday. GGG PPV Actually made 500k number.

So you can leave these canelo A-side fairy tales BS for the birds man.

I think Jacobs deserves better than 75-25. Golovkin needs this fight to happen because his next option (whoever that would end up being) is going to be a 100% less marketable fight.

60-40 with lion's share for GGG sounds exactly right if you ask me. If GGG's people can't accept that and it falls apart then it's on them. They need to start making better fights for Gennady, like right now.

It won't make him into a PPV star for sure, but it will make him the man at 160 and perhaps more importantly will mean he's in the driving seat. Those 3 straps are a powerful bargaining tool. If Danny ain't gonna fight for the 3 trinkets when he gets the chance what's he actually planning to do at MW?

I'm not saying 25% is a good deal, and certainly can't blame him for pushing for more (though I suspect he has been offered more - possibly 30%), but at the end of the day what else is there for him at 160? Kid should roll the dice.

He passed on 2 Quillins. He's not worth that

The Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux middleweight title unification fight on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York generated "just over" 150,000 pay-per-view buys, K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler told ESPN.com on Thursday night..

"It will do just over 150,000 buys, which was the number we originally based things on when we talked to [Lemieux promoter] Golden Boy about making the fight to determine how much Lemieux would need and what Gennady would need," Loeffler said.

Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez's spectacular one-punch, sixth-round knockout win over Amir Khan on Saturday night drew "around" 600,000 pay-per-view buys, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

De La Hoya's figure comes after consultation with HBO PPV, which produced and distributed the fight -- it was the main event of the first boxing card to take place at the new $375 million T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas...

"It looks like it will be around 600,000 buys," De La Hoya said. "We're extremely happy about it. If you think about it, Canelo has had the top two pay-per-views of the last four [major] pay-per-views."

Canelo Alvarez's return to the junior middleweight division against Liam Smith last month generated close to 300,000 pay-per-view buys, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN.com...

At 300,000 buys, the fight grossed approximately $20 million in domestic PPV revenue, although roughly half goes to the cable and satellite operators.

"We're going to wind up doing close to 300,000 homes, which is great when you combine that with almost 52,000 fans we had in the crowd," De La Hoya said. "We're very happy, extremely happy with the numbers."
