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

I think K2 does not want to go to a purse bid with Dibella Entertainment. I think they know they'll lose the bid, and then GGG will pull out like Kovalev did with Stevenson "due to a contract with HBO." In that scenario, GGG vacates and Jacobs becomes the sole owner of the WBA title, or GGG is fighting on PBC/Showtime. We'll see!

I think you can't do grade school math. Didn't Loeffler call for the purse Bid a few days before it was due originally?

K2's every action seems to indicate that that is not an option for them.

I don't even think GGG could fight on Showtime even if he wanted to. Contracts are contracts and HBO has a lot invested in him. No F'N way do they him fight on SHOWTIME while still under contract.

Both sides want an out of this fight clearly. Jacobs can't afford to rebuild his career at this point again and he isn't going to get $3 million. K2 can't justify paying him $3 million for a fight unless they put it on ppv and I see that ppv doing just about the same as the first ppv..a dud.

why ?

[Shadoww702]

If they are afraid to fight maybe they should change profession! There are a lot of fighters out there risking their lifes for $500 per fight.

And yet GGG turned down 10 Quillins worth to fight Canelo...

[aboutfkntime]

the only positive to come out of this situation.....

..... is that we only got 2 **** Golovkin fights this year, not 3

It's not hard, the Challenger doesn't want the fight, wants retirement wages to exercise his mando

Not hard at all, this is in Jacobs side IMO. He isn't going to get anymore % from the purse bid, he can negotiate all he wants with K2 but with the way they are with money he isn't getting any more than what the rules stipulates.

Jacobs is playing a dirty game to waste GGG's time.

Jacobs is playing a dirty game to waste GGG's time. He won't fight GGG, he is scared of losing just like Canelo and his manager Oscar - the charlatan.

purse bid is in 2 days... No more extensions.

any link for confirmation?

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

Stop telling that tale.

Jacobs said absolutely nothing about 3 million..and I get the feeling you know it.
