Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs: WBA President Gives His Take on The Situation

[Boxing Logic]

I hear ya but but getting a borderline robbery against Sam Soliman Ain't doing deserving of getting a #1/#2 ranking.. At the time I could of EASILY named 10-12 better MW's than him. Heck he dropped from #3 to #15 just for losing to GGG???

Then blame Haymon for always getting his fighters robberies and getting them ranked higher in the rankings than they deserve. God damn.

nope, they are doing a FANTASTIC job of generating low-risk income for their fighter

lil'G is the one who doesn't want meaningful fights

* Canelo fought Lara, against the wishes of his promoter
* Canelo fought FLOYD MAYWEATHER for 5mil

Canelo did that, because he wanted meaningful fights..... lil'G refused to fight those guys because he prefers easy paydays

If they want low-risk income, why have they spent the last four weeks offering Danny Jacobs a fight? Is Danny Jacobs low risk?

Oh you're going to say they only offered him 25%, so they don't really think Jacobs will take it. But then you say GGG was supposed to take even less than 25% against Canelo. You're so dumb lol.

If you think GGG should take 15% vs Canelo, then you should also call out Jacobs to take 25% vs GGG. At least be consistent otherwise you're just another Fl0mo biased dumbass hater.

right.....

the guy who made a pile of silly excuses to avoid Ward/Mora/Lara..... who just so happens to be the same guy who ran around for FOUR YEARS saying that he can "beat anyone from 154-168", but then killed TWO HUGE fights over the weight..... who just so happens to be the same guy who totally refused to negotiate with his best payday, lil old faded 153lb Cotto..... who just so happens to be the same guy who refused 10MIL to fight Canelo.....

..... REALLY wants to fight Danny Jacobs?

cool story bro ^^

it is pretty safe to say that guy will NEVER land a meaningful fight, he clearly aint about that life

I could slap his mother right in front of him, he wouldn't do ****

The WBA has done wrong by Jacobs. DJ is the clear cut number 2 fighter in the division and they expect him to accept 25%? He's worth more than that. Him getting 75% in the future won't matter because he won't get that against a Canelo and this GGG fight is the only big business MW fight. Now Loeffler feels justified at holding firm at 25%. This Golovkin team loses more credibility with each and every farce. Lowballing twats

GGG's team consistently offer their opponents around 40%. Macklin received 44%, Lemieux was 42%, if I remember correctly. I doubt they lowballed Jacobs, they probably offered him around 30 - 35% but Jacobs got greedy. 70 - 30 or 65 - 35 seems appropriate for Jacobs; it's also what I think the GGG - Canelo split would be, fairly.

I agree 25% is too low, but those are the rules.

If Macklin, Rubio and Lemieux each got in the 40s then there is no excuse to give Jacobs any less. Its very suspect to offer the number 2 guy a lower split than the Macklin's of the world got. Golovkin's team is quite selective now a days.

The WBA is just as bad! They currently have Alfonso Blanco Ranked #1. He's 12-0 with 5 KO's. He got that ranking for beating 30-11-3 draws Siarhei Khanmitski???? Ohhh who is now 31-13-3. Lol

They're ALL corrupt and TERRIBLE. One of them had a dead guy ranked for months a while back.

Let's not overlook Keith Thurman's mandatory! He beats Shane Mosely in 2016, and he's #1? WTF???

[Bronx2245]

The Wade fight was ordered by the IBF. It had nothing to do with the WBA.

The WBA stayed out of the way because GGG was supposed to be fighting his IBF mandatory, which was Taureano Johnson. Johnson got hurt, and couldn't fight. At that time, the WBA should've stepped in and ordered GGG vs. Jacobs, but they didn't. Wade was not the IBF #1 contender. That fight was totally useless, and an embarrassment to the sport!
