If Golovkin is a hype job

[frantic fighter]

That's silly for a reply. I repeat, I predicted a 50/50 fight (Matthysse/Garcia) when everybody else said Matthysse would brutalize the Gift. Is that someone who gets influenced by other people's opinions? You were one of those who referred to Matthyse as a hypejob. Danny beats him and Matthysse is suddenly real.

Find a quote I made saying that Lucas was a hype job or stfu.

Then why doesn't Jacobs take the 25-75 split (or whatever was offered to him), beat him easily, become lineal/unified world champion (no one believes Canelo is the real MW champion) and then calls the shots for fights against:

BJS, Canelo, Golovkin rematch, Eubank Jr, Lee, etc, for much more money.

Oh wait, Jacobs said Golovkin was the best of his generation. I'm confused.

If you think about it, it's clear that K2 must have offered Jacobs more than 25%. Loeffler asked the WBA to call a purse bid because - he said - the negotiations had failed.

If they were only offering Danny the same amount he would get without negotiating, then what would be the point of even trying to negotiate with him in the first place?

Go cry all you want but you should be criticizing the ones who vacated instead of fighting the man.

seems like you're the one in your feelings...can you dispute what i said?

160 and 147 are wide open because the best havent aired it out yet

deal with it

It's the usual mandated split for the challenger in a WBA title fight purse bid. Are you Danny's missus, by any chance?

Danny Jacobs deserves more than 25% imo that's all im saying, no need for the extra not funny

Golovkin is already on record saying that he's not going to fight Saul Alvarez for the at leat $10m that's been currently offered; I'd hold my tongue before talking ****.

No fighter accepts a fixed purse for a big PPV bout. GGG vs Canelo could sell 1 million ppvs.

If you think about it, it's clear that K2 must have offered Jacobs more than 25%. Loeffler asked the WBA to call a purse bid because - he said - the negotiations had failed.

If they were only offering Danny the same amount he would get without negotiating, then what would be the point of even trying to negotiate with him in the first place?

Of course, I also believe he was offered 30 or 35%.

[Mr.MojoRisin']

This is rubbish. Lemieux brought legitimate belt to the table. Jacobs's regular VBA belt is glorified mandatory position. Lemieux deserved more and rightly so. My personal opinion is that if they ever fight Lemieux obliterates Jacobs.

You completely cut out everything else I said. Jacobs vs Lemieux is the bigger fight. Did I say Jacobs was better than Lemieux? No. Do I think he is? Yes.

However that had nothing to do with my post.

This fight is bigger than the Lemieux fight. That is an irrefutable fact. However you conveniently deleted the rest of my 3 paragraph response from the quote because you would look ******ed saying what you did if you had not omitted it.

[Mr.MojoRisin']

That's the standard split if it goes to purse bids, nothing to do with what they're able to negotiate first. I doubt they reduced their offer once it was mandated.

But you didn't tell me how you feel about Jacobs passing on that, and whether he's worth more

Jacobs is worth 30%-35%. If 3 million wasn't 30%-35% then he rightfully passed it up.

The sanctioning body said purse bid will be 75/25 . 25% is all jacobs should get .

Why does Jacobs deserve more than any other WBA mandatory challenger gets from a purse bid?

His regular title is irrelevant in this fight, as GGG's super title is the only WBA belt being contested. He doesn't have a big fan base and is virtually unkown outside of Brooklyn. And he couldn't even fill an arena there against Quillin, another Brooklyn home town fighter.

Another thing to consider ... Loeffler called for a purse bid because - he said - the negotiations were going nowhere. It seems clear to me that he must have offered Danny more than 25%, his mandated split. Otherwise, what would have been the point of even trying to negotiate in the first place?

[frantic fighter]

Nope. I said they can change those rules, if they think it necessary. It says that clearly at their website. Whether they actually did change them for GGG is open to debate and depends how you, and the WBC, interpret those rules. It's all history now anyway.

It doesn't take Einstein to see that they saw the potential fees that they could collect off a Golovkin/Canelo fight vs a Canelo/Rubio. They are motivated by money like all of the other alphabet organizations. It's funny because they once took Martinez's belt two years and gave it to Chavez jr. Now they're catering to Golovkin.
