    Regardless, Jacobs wants to fight Golovkin sometime in 2017. He didn’t divulge the specific figure that’ll make the Golovkin fight more appealing to him, but stressed that it’ll need to be markedly more than he has been offered thus far.
    “It just wasn’t the number we were looking for,” said Jacobs, who is advised by Al Haymon. “It didn’t have the potential to make what I believe was fair. I made a career-high, on record, of $1.5 million for the Quillin fight. And to have it kind of close to that, I was like, ‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing.’ So let’s up the numbers just a little bit to make me happy. I’m not asking for no crazy double digits [eight figures] or anywhere close to that. But do me right, man.”

    The offer was close to what he got paid to fight Quillin. Like I said, I've seen people say $1.7 mil was offered
    Funny how you bold what's convenient to you.

    How about the rest of it where he says "I can fight TWO QUILLINS AND MAKE THE SAME THING."

    If he fought two Quillins that means 3 million and to say he can make the SAME THING means he was offered 3 million. Which also implies he's scared of talking a much harder fight than Quillin.

      Why aren't you on GGG for turning down 10 million to fight Canelo.???

      Jacobs turned down 3 mil

      GGG turned down 10 mil


      ...but everybody is lashing Jacobs.

        He wouldn't get paid anywhere close to $1.5 mil for a Quillin rematch, so no it doesn't.

          Nonsense. You people need to get real.

          First, GGG vs Jacobs is not as huge as GGG vs Alvarez. That's a given.

          Second, Canelo vs GGG is huge to BOTH fighters. Not only to GGG. That's another given. Denying it is utter bull**** only extremely biased people embrace.

          Third, Canelo can't get the same value fighting other fighters not named Pacquiao or Mayweather.

          Fourth, GGG vs Canelo is bigger than Canelo vs Cotto.

          Fifth, even Pac and May can't draw huge numbers fighting low level opponents.

          Hope that helps.

            So he said they offered him close to what he made fighting Quillin. Watch the interview and you'll get better context of what he was trying to say. No way in hell they offered him $3mil for a non PPV fight and he doesn't have the belt. They didn't even offer BJS that much and he has the belt. Use common sense

              Dude. You're interpreting it wrong. What he's alluding two is that he can fight 2 Quillins and get the same thing that is being offered by GGG in each of those fights.

              Basically he could get $1.5Mil in each fight. That would be the amount around what their offering for this single fight. He's saying that your $1.5 or $1.7 that you're offering makes no sense because he could get the same for fighting two other middleweights that aren't of GGGs caliber.

              Analytical thinking man, use it!

                canelo just sold 50K audience & did 300K in PPV against a total complete no name. he's more unknown then lemieux but yet canelo sold 10 times more. thats highly successful.......golovkin hasn't even fought for 4 million but yet he turns down more then 10 million? in realty golovkin wants 25 million for canelo in which he's ret@rded and dreaming.

                he's getting 10 million with ppv upside. he would cap out at 15 million. the guy that wants to fight canelo for glory suddenly is now backing out of a fight that has a EXTREME career high pay day? i thought golovkin fans lived by the code of "beat him and become a bigger star then him once you've destroyed him" which is it golovkin fans? WHICH IS IT? 1st it's jacobs is ducking for money (hinting that in golovkin fans minds he should be fighting for glory and the titles & stop pricing himself out) but then golovkin turns down 10 million dollars against canelo & theres an excuse. "he deserves a 50/50 split or 60/40 split. he needs his monay" you turds ****ed on talks of brook golovkin before it was even made "oh no, golovkin would never fight brook he's too small. thats just a joke being played by hearn" the fight is made & golovkin fans come running saying how much brook was always a middleweight WTF. you claim that golovkin is worth more on PPV then any of us give him credit for. if thats the case why get pissed when fighters treat him as such? if he's such a star in boxing whats wrong with fighters demanding just a tad bit more to fight him knowing that he's a "star" as you so claim? golovkin will fight ward at 168. he said 154 to 168 anyone can get it, yeaaaa. "ward get ready to get ko'd" golovkin then comes out and says "i fight ward at 164. he's too much"

                well, humm well, what we as golovkin fans meant to say is why should golovkin move up? WHY? its ward that should move up and take on the first challenge in his career in kovalov!!! matter fact, he's ducking kovalov! golovkin has unfinished business at 160. the boring bum ward is running from kovalov.


                WHICH IS IT golovkin fans. you guys run here there & eventually to the ground. u tangle your own selves in a LOW IQ knot. spinning crap, creating smoke screens daily, all in the name of defending golovkin? this is why people think his "fan boys" are as dumb as a box of rocks. only should be viewed as clowns. entertainment. APES at the zoo who throws **** at each other. NO consistency whats so ever only c*ck riding and switching up when it favors your fighter.

                    They always make it sound as if $10 mil is given away for free and the other side is getting $0. Come on.

                    The most boring May/Pac fight, which I opposed, generated hundreds of millions of dollars. Who is to say GGG vs Canelo can't get similar numbers, especially in a f#kd up sport where fans are hungry for meaningful fights? Both GGG and Canelo are action fighters with Mexican styles. This is a 50/50 fight for me. I'm even leaning on Canelo. This is a huge fight.
