      That was 2 months ago and things have changed. The WBA upheld the 75/25 split. Jacobs may even have to fight his mando.

Please stop with the double talk before you leave yourself tongue tied. At the time that the Ward fight was proposed it was bigger fight financially than any proposed middle weight fight for Golovkin. Anybody from 54-68,means anybody, end of story.
          Golovkin became the WBC mando because he fought and beat Rubio, who was the WBC interim champ. Those are the WBC rules. They didn't make them up specially for GGG.

          To say that fighting Andre Ward, in a years time, for 50% of an unknown and unspecified purse, was the best financial option open to GGG last year is just nuts.

          Golovkin had been guaranteed a shot at the winner of Canelo vs Cotto next, if he beat Lemieux. He had also been promised a MW unification fight with Andy Lee after that, if Lee got past Saunders, which he was favourite to do.

          They were all much better options, in terms of both risk and reward, than signing a contract with Ward for a fight a year down the line, at 168, which we now know would never have even have happened, because Ward can't make 168 any more.

            A guy being ducked like a plague is not a hype job. The authenticity is real. Hype jobs are not ducked. Danny Garcia is a shining example. Everyone wants a piece of him. He has no problem choosing his fights. Come on people. This is not rocket science.

                  I think he should get 30%, maybe 35% tops. But if they can't agree on something, the rules are written long ago. 75-25, purse bid. And if he vacates, he's a coward. He can't ask for the rules to be made specially for him.

                    Manny refuses drug testing, $40 mil (no ppv) and gets stitches when he doesn't need them and you blame Floyd?

                    Thats like blaming GGG for not fighting Sergio, Cotto or BJS.

                    Be consistent. Blame GGG for not fighting them.
