...yet people still blame Golovkin and K2 the fight is not happening. How is a guy like Jacobs supposed to make more than 3 million when more well known fighters like Maidana or Guerrero made less for fighting Mayweather?
The bias and hate on this board is hilarious!

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.”
