What will Jacobs' next demand/excuse be?

[Scipio2009]

No one is scared yet...
"I need a tune up doe."
"I need longer camp doe."

Notice how none of the news reported have said anything about being an issue for money? Instead we get told that they need a longer camp. Go figure.

The purse bid is set for October 22.

Since K2 no longer has eyes on the December 10 date, and things hinging on a belief that HBO will have more money in 2017, we'll see how much money K2 is willing to wager on the hope that HBO actually puts more money into the boxing budget next year (after years of consistent decline).

DiBella is heading into the weekend with Showtime talking up putting up big money for the fight and Barclays Center not much behind that.

Daniel Jacobs is already in the gym, and the winner of the bid has till January 12th to stage the fight (and be in compliance with the current WBA edict).

keep your head in the sand if you want

[Note: Daniel Jacobs said neither statement. an interim fight was considered by the WBA, and Andre Rozier stated that he'd like to have Jacobs for a hard 10-12 weeks to prep for Golovkin. nice try though]

Golovkin has a $10m offer to fight Saul Alvarez already in hand; he and his camp seem to think that that is a short-money offer, yet have done nothing to actually show why they should be worth more.

Staging Golovkin-Jacobs, and creating an event that literally sells out in NYC (no ticket BS) and does massive business on TV (possibly PPV) would be a great move towards justifying a share of the full event; no different than Alvarez, after balking at the initial Mayweather offer, choosing to fight off of Mayweather's undercard, stage his own event in Texas, and have 40k fans come out to see him fight Austin Trout, before going back to the Floyd talks and not only getting the Mexico TV, but also getting a share of the event/PPV (though the talk of coming down in weight to fight Floyd leaving him having to give up a few pounds for the fight).

The WBA purse bid is scheduled for October 22; we will see how that comes about, but if DiBella wins the bid (setting things to give his fighter the full time needed for the fight), I'd hope that K2 doesn't compel Golovkin to give up the belt (or go to the WBA and look for some emeritus status).

where do you get this idea that HBO will force one of their most popular fighters to go against his oft-stated goal of being undisputed champion and vacate one of his belts instead of facing a guy he is widely expected to beat? this is at least the 2nd time I've confronted you regarding this blatant misconception

Because HBO has already pulled the card on Main Events, when everyone in boxing had clear interest in seeing Stevenson-Kovalev for all of the belts, forcing Duva to back out of the very purse bid that she, herself, called for.

that golovkin has his right arm tied behind his back

Boy you still reaching for straws. You assume that all contracts are the same. Kovalev isn't the level of star that ggg is, on top of that

that is 1000000% speculation on your part. You have nothing to back up that claim. If you do, then source it. But you dont, so.........

[mathed]

Danny is a chump like the other scurred lil biatches. All talk until it's time to sign, then they have a million and one excuses.

[i got the keys]

Golovkin can't dictate rules in every fight. Jacobs deserves a bigger share. Especially if the fight will be in NY. Don't want to hear he won't bring fans....he will....

[Piper the Great]

Jacobs pissing me off with this

The purse bid is already scheduled for October 22nd; within the week, we'll see what's what.
