Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Jacobs Still in Serious Negotiations, Says Loeffler

[Kigali]

Needless fight, Jacobs is chinny he'd be able to stay out of harms way for a few rounds but GGG could catch up with him after the first three or four rounds and once he lands flush it'd be lights out.

Ain't no challenges at 160 for GGG he's wasting his career there hanging around facing no hopers waiting to cash out and retire with his golden ticket against Cameltoč.

Does anybody actually care if Jacobs fights GGG ? It'd be a repeat of Monroe and Brook able elusive boxer hunted down and broken up in around four rounds.

Jacobs vs Canleo would be competitive as would Saunders versus these guys, GGG hopelessly outguns them all with his skill set to match his power too, if that guy ever moves up we'll see him in competitive action.

If Jacobs were on their level this fight would be made already.


Jacobs has the power to make Gigi "chinny"...maybe that's why K2 are dragging their loafers by asking for an extension.

HBO is the hold up. They're being cheap and Loeffler has to find some extra money. Put the fight on PPV or go to Showtime. If HBO don't wanna pay for fights they really need to get out of the fight business. Ten years ago this fight would've been made in a week. This is getting ridiculous. You can't give us the fights we want to see on a shoestring budget. Either **** or get off the pot

And before people say Jacobs doesn't want the fight:

If I didn't think Jacobs wanted the fight or if I didn't think it was possible to work out a deal than we would have been in a purse bid already but I'm trying to do anything I can to try to make the deal happen."

[Bronx2245]

35% of what actually?

I don't know how much the purse is. All I know is if it goes to purse bid, Jacobs gets 25%. Jacobs wants 40%. I say offer him 35%, if he says no, then go to the purse bid and he either takes 25%, or he vacates his WBA regular champion belt, and GGG can move on and look for another fight...hopefully Erislandy Lara!

Still waiting for you to actually PROVE Jacobs wants 40%.

Jacobs is a level above Monroe and Brook. If you are insinuating GGG has any concerns facing Jacobs you are mistaken, the foot dragging is clearly and evidently all on Jacobs and his handlers side, why would he face GGG for an extra half million than he usually earns every fight when GGG with pretty much end his earning days as a top earner. Their is a reason their is reluctance and foot dragging, Jacobs wants an offer he feels is in line with the dangers of facing a guy who is walking through the divison unopposed due to the fact no one can stand up to his power south of 168.

I'm neither a GGG fan boy or Jacobs detractor, it's very clear what is at play here.

well see what happens but i hope team ggg end up calling someones bluff to get ggg a big fight if in fact other sides are not negotiating seriously

It's clear that K2 are the foot draggers here.

I've lost patience with this by now.

In sticking to their guns in regards to an equal or fair shake ?
