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

[Mr.MojoRisin']

The reason that the 75/25 split hasn't budged is because Jacobs has all to gain and GGG has all to lose. If Jacobs wins he is a superstar. If GGG loses nobody will bother with him anymore. He will be lucky to get a fight with top middleweights for a decent amount of money. If Jacobs loses big whoop. He can go back to fighting the same guys he has been for the last few years. If GGG wins then he has a decent win over a top middleweight. Saunders and the others won't go near him.

I dont think its that much of a stretch. To me its actually a win-win for HBO, especially considering their current budget situation.

Think about it, if GGG wins, then HBO got Haymon to fund the continued rise of their fighter, and they may even pick up some new subscribers from the showtime / ppv viewers who dont currently have HBO

and god forbid GGG lose, then again it happened on someone elses dime, and if HBO chooses to air his "rebuilding", it would come at a much lower cost.

If this were a MAJOR ppv such as Canelo-GGG, I would totally agree with you about HBO standing firm. But it isnt. Jacobs is no superstar, and HBO loses nothing by allowing the fight to air elsewhere.....

I actually agree with everything you posted. I am just not sure given that North brought GGG to HBO.

Jacobs has nothing to loose and everything to gain.

He would be ****** if he let's this one slip.

If i was him i wold take the .25 in a mere second.

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."

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN.

You really believe what Oscar say is true? Everything he says is inflated.

GGG's team offered Saunders 1.5 mil to fight him with K2 wanting the fight in the UK. Why would Saunders agree to 1.5 mil when fighting in his hometown? K2 wanted all the money for GGG. Would GGG take the 1.5 mil to fight Saunders with Frank Warren running the show in the UK? We all the know the reason the Brook fight happened, Hearn paid Brook and GGG 5 mil each. If it was K2 they would have never paid Brook more than 1.5 mil. I could see Jacobs walking away from the purse bid especially if he's getting low balled and striking a deal to face Saunders in the UK where both would make more money fighting each other than facing GGG.

The status quo has clearly changed with ggg Saunders. I think the fight does brook type numbers where Saunders will make 3-4 mill. If anyone is fighting in the UK it's ggg. Jacobs is too much risk too little reward. I think Saunders loses for prolly a third of what he would make for ggg.

[goldenbear]

GGG doing to Jacobs what Canelo is doing to him....

To be #2 MW and the second biggest fight GGG can make he wants give DJ 25%. DJ wanting 40% is not unreasonable request plus GGG has fought absolutely no one and this would give him more credibility.

[mapleleaf27]

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.

The win over Quillin looks more and more irrelevant every day. If you are comparing CV , GGG over Quillin all day.
