People always say Jacobs should get more than 1.5 million because that's what he made against Quillin but if I said GGG should get more than 4 million because that's what he got for Brook and Jacobs is more dangerous I'd be called and idiot, and rightfully so.
Jacobs was paid 1.5 millions just because of Quillin

Any theory that perhaps prolonging the Jacobs deal would result in the same scenario as Quillin did against Korobov? Meaning, the hope that Jacobs vacates the belt and not interested in the purse bid? I wonder if Loeffler feels that Haymon would advise Jacobs to drop his regular strap.
I think I've been pretty consistent on this line of thinking, but I earnestly believe that Loeffler can figure that Jacobs and Co are up for the fight, to the point that, were the fight to go to formal bids, K2's business with HBO will be put at risk
(The moment that Billy Joe Saunders chose not to engage in making a fight with Jacobs, with Alvarez not being an option, Golovkin instantly became Jacobs' top target).
Because, as the Sergio Mora rematch seemed to have shown, the other viable options for Jacobs aren't all that plentiful.
Haymon paying Golovkin a flat fee (whatever the price ends up being) to come to the Barclays Center and over to Showtime to give Brooklyn's "favorite son" a fight (not all that different from the deal that Eddie Hearn cut to bring Golovkin over to the UK without having an opponent locked in) isn't all that bad an idea.
Would Loeffler advise Golovkin to simply give up the WBA 160lb belt? Possibly ("hey Gennady, I know this hurts now, but holding onto the belt adds an additional barrier to the Alvarez fight than we can be bothered with. let's beat Alvarez, and then we can double back for the belt later)Comment

Quillin was offered 1.4 millions to fight.. Kovorov? and he declined and vacated the WBO belt, because Haymon promised him the same money in the future.
Then he got to fight Jacobs and Quillin was getting paid 1.5 because that's what Haymon had offered to him if he vacated that belt, and Jacobs got the same because both were Haymon fighters. But in reality it would be a fight with 700k for both max.
Now he uses that ****ty argument to say he needs to be paid more. BS. You don't deserve more you interim champion that can't sell.Comment

K2 doesn't want to give up 40%, and 25% is likely a lowball share for value on the fight; split the difference.
Stage the event where the most money can be made, Golovkin gets a guaranteed $1.5m, Jacobs gets a guaranteed $1m, and Jacobs gets 32% of whatever the event brings in above that.
Not too complicated' just make the fightComment

Jacobs without a middleweight title is worth far less to PBC/Showtime/Haymon, so I doubt anyone tells Jacobs to give up the only chit that puts him into the top conversation.

Jacobs-Quillin was a fight that things have been built to for a while, the fight was looked at as being a big fight in NYC, and Quillin having a higher profile with Jacobs bringing the belt, in essence, made the fight 50/50 financially.
Jacobs took the fight, won it in impressive fashion and is positioned for the next opportunity.
WTF you talk about. Keep it real.Comment

jacobs last fight was fought in the hometown of one of the undercard fighters on the card. he has no popularity. why should the whole world pretend he is popular? wouldn't it be easier if one person(jacobs) realized he wasn't popular.Comment
