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

[Bronx2245]

It's been explained to you over and over. They don't want a purse bid cause Jacobs vacates. They wanna get him in the ring and take his scalp. They'll never have him this cornered

Nothing has been explained! If you don't want to give Jacobs what he wants (40%), go to purse bid! If Jacobs vacates, who cares? GGG can fight Saunders or Zurdo Ramirez, and make more money! You can't have someone "cornered" and you're" trying to avoid a purse bid!" K2 is not a charity! Either they have options, or they don't! WBA, make the purse bid ASAP! We'll see who really wants the fight!

I know who doesn't. You scoundrel, pathetically hoping for a Haymon winning bid and Ggg vacating.

The one who doesn't is the one who bids less! Men lie, women lie, numbers never lie!

This is insane. This Loeffler guy needs to spend some time with Don King. The guy is clueless.

The one who vacates (Canelo) is the one who is the "duck!" Isn't that right?

Well at least it can be agreed that the purse bid needs to happen, whatever your beliefs on why K2 would prefer it didn't. We'll see how it goes before too long, I'm sure.

What's pathetic is that you're ******* off to this moronic dream of Ggg vacating, and exposing yourself as a simple minded hater.

OK well don't ask if you don't like the answer

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...

No one has to bid $8m; DiBella/Haymon simply need to win the bid, with Daniel Jacobs sharing in the upside.

Winning purse bid of $4m (Jacobs gets $1m), with the actual event proceeds being $6m (DiBella and Jacobs share the $2m beyond the bid); whether that ends up being a $2m payday to Jacobs is going to come down to how big DiBella can make the event.

Jacobs is more than ready for the fight; he and his camp just aren't going to be suckers about it.

Jacobs is a world champion and, just like Golovkin and his "title defenses", him staying champion is the key; if Golovkin walks away from the fight, Brooklyn is not going to care as long as they get to see their champion fight.

Is GGG the problem?

Money issues with Canelo, (not enough) and now with Jacobs, (asking for too much).

...or K2 offering Jacobs too little.
