Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Money Issues Remain, Not Sure Jacobs is Next

[Scipio2009]

This is an assumption nobody knows the answer to, so don't state it as fact. Plus showtime already announced their fights for the next few months I doubt at this point they are even interested in ggg jacobs

^^^lol, look at this clown

[Scipio2009]

So the team that was happy to send Wilder to Russia is going to break the bank for a non-entity like Jacobs?

Cool story bro

Deontay Wilder was set to head to Russia because WoB was basically ready to lose $7m if it meant that they're fighter was going to get home advantage; before that, Lou DiBella laid out $5m to try and keep the fight in the US.

Daniel Jacobs and Gennady Golovkin both have profiles in NYC, Lou DiBella is the premier fight promoter in New York, and the Barclays Center and Showtime are more that interested in putting out the money to host the fight.

K2 isn't going to bid $7m on the fight; heck, I doubt that K2 even bids $4m on the fight.

Between the Showtime licensing fee, the Barclays Center site fee/live gate, Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren in the running for the UK TV rights, and K2 paying up to host the fight on their German broadcaster, etc, a sizable bid can be covered by Lou DiBella.

What is the fight worth to K2, though? Between the HBO fee, and the gate as MSG, sponsors, international TV, etc, what are the revenues looking like for K2

[Scipio2009]

Some of you guys are ridiculous, you want K2 to pony up 3 million for a guy in Jacobs who brings no fans, no real title, and no name recognition. You do realize GGG only makes like $2 million on average a fight right? And he's like 50 times more popular than Jacobs...

Gotta know your role Jabroni

If K2 can't pay the price, the fight goes to purse bids and Golovkin risks having to vacate the belt.

not that complicated.

REALLY??? Are you that SLOW??? You really think HBO is gonna just hand over GGG and say when your done with him just make sure he gets back home safe???

With hbos current budget contraints, the right deal, ggg potentially having to drop the belt, I wouldn't completely rule it out. They also get to stick it to al haymon by having their guy destroy a fighter he's invested alot of time and money in. Ggg will be like a min 8-9:1 favorite. Only the hardcore haymonites actually believe he has a chance.

[TexasCowBoy]

Boy is that the truth. They're in the business so they have to "appear" to want the fight. Add Jacobs to the list with Saunders, Alvarez, Eubanks and the rest of them. Can't blame them really. They want a big payday if they're going to risk their health and future livelihood.

It is funny to see how all these haymonites are bidnizzmen talking dollar figures and percentage splits....but your comment is right on... jacobs just got added to the alvarez,eubank and saunders list....and this in not counting the twitter warrior lara...jacobs wants 3 quillens and a salka to make the fight happen plus for GGG to have on hand tied.....this fight aint happening.

[DocGreenThumb.]

I remember when the Coward refused to fight Ward.

And Ward ran to 175 2 weight classes above 160 . Multiple weight classes see how that works hater troll.

[DocGreenThumb.]

You guys bring up something then twist it as he said no, he didn't fight nobody in time frame as he was going through legal proceedings with former promoter but I guess it has to fit y'all narrative so leave out some facts

So how is that GGG s problem put up or shut up. Mentioned GGG s name just to keep his name relevant in that time frame. Knowing he didnt have any intentions on fighting because of promoter problems. You think boxing fans are going to fall for lies hate and b.s. posts you constantly come up. Wow brilliant.

[clintbok]

Ha Canelo said himself after the khan fight he would fight at 160,and the canelo fight is still being negotiated,why would he take the first offer for a fight nearly a year away?
The 164lb catch weight was a starting point for negotiations with ward.
As for jacobs,how can someone who only has 375,000 viewers on showtime and cant even sellout a venue in his home town with a fellow new yorker be worth more than 1 mil let alone 1.5 lmao.If anyone is to blame for this fight not happening its jacobs and al haymon.

not that complicated.

You're right, but who is gonna bid enough for Jacobs to even get $2 million?
Would have to be a real idiot to bid upwards of $8 million for this fight...
Does Jacobs want to beat the man and become the man or does he want a belt handed over due to contractual issues? I dint understand how guys expect to get paid on a May/PAC opponent type level against a guy who only makes $2 million a fight himself...

[NYC8224]

Jacobs is a ****
