Comments Thread For: Golovkin is Now Off December 10 Date, Jacobs Fight in 2017?

[Madison Boxing]

naive of golovkin and a ****** move really. Jacobs does not want the fight and he's jsut going to keep delaying it rather than flat out say 'im not fighting him'. The clocks ticking for GGG, cant afford to be wasting time for people like jacobs, needs to be active

[Sid-Knee]

Anyone who thought Jacobs would enter a ring with Golovkin in it is seriously deranged. He was never going to fight him.

I am told the final Premier Boxing Champions card of the year on Spike will take place Dec. 16 at Barclays... https://t.co/6GqqxIasud

So PBC is having Barclay card December 16th on Spike, HBO is having a Hopkins farewell card at the Forum on December 17th, but the co-main - Salido/Miura fell out.

Have Jacobs fight on the Spike card and Golovkin fight on the Hopkins card, and then let them fight each other in March like they're currently aiming for!!!

No I'm saying Jacobs vs GGG can be a huge fight if promoted properly. Boxing numbers are down across the board and I think it's because promoters aren't promoting. GGG is a star on the rise and Jacobs is a good dude with a tremendous story to be told. To me that's a home run.

NEWSFLASH

nothing is a home run re: this fight except the potential outcome.

being a good dude w/ a tremendous story doesn't necessarily sell tickets and draw eyeballs.

being the 2nd biggest MW fight available doesn't automatically = huge fight

numbers are down because the fights and the personalities are not compelling...everyone loves a good scrap though. if they build it, ppl will come.

this fight should be interesting though, the promotion has potential to be big in NYC. but I don't rate Danny as an elite talent. GGG by KO5.

This fight has the potential to be big if promoted properly. The public can be sold on Jacobs. His story hasn't been watered down yet. Cancer effects people's lives. Look at the dollars being poured into cancer research. And Jacobs is a successful story that can be inspiring and bring the casuals to this fight. Which is good for GGG's mass appeal.

Totally agree. Danny Jacobs is not worth stalling your ****ing career over. He wants to be a p*ssy, let him. Take out some nobody and hope Saunders has testicles. Jacobs clearly doesn't.

K2 cannot keep making this mistake with potential opponents. They are all doing this stalling tactic now, hoping for Golovkin to waste his career and age out of hopes they'll be able to pick him off later. Saunders, Jacobs, and Alvarez all keep doing this "maybe later" bull**** with no intentions of actually fighting him.

Stop falling for it and let these cowards rot in obscurity.

oh no..... they simply cannot LMAO

how terribly unfortunate..... to make the same mistake, over and over and over and over

[aboutfkntime]

GGG ducked Canelo....Floyd fought him.

GGG ducked Lara...Canelo fought him.

Jacobs refused 2 Quillin's for Golovkin.....
..... so, he was ducking

then, Golovkin refused 2 Mayweather's for Canelo.....
..... but, he wasn't ducking

If by 2017 they mean January then I'm cool with that.


If by 2017 they mean April/May GTFOH.
