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

[Jsmooth9876]

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.

Brooklyn didn't even show up for Jackbs vs Quillen. You live in a dream world. I'm guessing K2 probably already offered Jacobs $2 million and it's still not enough. guys want PAC/May money to fight a guy who most of you say can't draw flies to *****tt... Funny how that goes...

Half full arena?
Nobody watching?

Something is wrong with you.

If Haymon's plan was to win a purse bid and hope that Golovkin would have to vacate, then he would've immediately requested a purse bid. That's exactly what they did with the Stevenson/Kovalev situation. Main Events talked with GYM about delaying the purse bid so that Kovalev could take care of his IBF mando first, but GYM/Haymon requested an early purse bid.

That is not what happened. GYM called for an immediate purse bid because of his past dealings with Main Events not being able to secure a deal & Duva being Duva. Kovalev didn't even have an HBO deal when they bid was called.

I have not made any comment re the $10 million for Canelo other than to say that it is impossible to know the merits of the offer without seeing the details.

For example, is the $10 million secured by bank guarantee (or similar)?

Also, will both fighters be subject to testing?

As for Jacobs, I agree that he should be paid more than what he got for Mora but anything like "2 Quillins" is ludicrous as it will almost certainly result in "the draw" (such as he is lol) & champion making less than 50%

i have the details, the details are.....


1 0, 0 0 0, 0 0 0. 0 0


hope that cleared that up ^^

The hell with that guy. He thinks that Showtime/PBC will bid over $5mill to have Golovkin come on to their network, KO Jacobs and leave back to HBO. And if Haymon was convinced that Golovkin would simply vacate if they did win the bid, then Haymon would've order the damn bid already. When Kovalev/Stevenson went to negotiate, Haymon order the bid early.

It is funny to see how all these haymonites are bidnizzmen......

right ^^


explain to me why Golovkin refused to fight Canelo for 10mil ?


take your time, Mr " bidnizzman "

[aboutfkntime]

Is GGG the problem?..... Money issues with Canelo, (not enough) and now with Jacobs, (asking for too much).

Canelo can make big fights

Jacobs can make big fights

GGG couldn't make a big fight if his life depended on it LMAO

Both sides? From what I see its Jacobs team who's asking the WBA to change their rules because they're not happy with the mandated split.

How much does Jacobs actually think he's worth? I wonder what that "magic number" is that would satisfy him so that he takes the fight. Jacobs is asking for more money than many of Floyd's opponents made fighting him. Maidana only made $3mil in each of his fights vs Floyd.

Not the same thing. Maidana came off a big win and was ready for a big payday. Maidana would still be getting big fights even if he lost to Mayweather. Maidana had no leverage against Mayweather because Mayweather did not have to fight Maidana. Maidana took the risk that he could perform well against Mayweather, even if he lost and be getting paid more after the fight, if he fights well because people will want to see him fight again.

I don't blame Jacobs because he doesn't have to time to rebuild his career after this fight. If he loses this fight then he will probably never get another big fight.
