GGG isn't expecting anything like $5million for fighting Jacobs, and you know it. If that fight doesn't happen it will be because of Danny's unrealistic demands, not GGG's.
K2 wants to not only low-ball the money to Jacobs (I sincerely doubt that the ask was for anywhere near $5m for the fight), but they also want to choose the TV network, choose the venue, choose the sponsors, and basically have Jacobs just show up.

There's a reason why K2 has refused to go forward with the purse bid (after the one initial head fake, with K2 then spending the next how long still not going forward with the bid), and my guess is that K2 seems to sense that Showtime/Barclays is more invested in the potential fight than he's been able to get HBO/MSG, with Golovkin not actually able to cross the street for the fight (Jacobs and Co seemingly having no such issue).

I'm pretty sure anyone here if in the same position wouldn't say to themselves "Oh, geez, I would rather have less money". Good for Ward. Ward, get all the money you can. You are the one training till you drop and taking the punches in that ring. The fans aren't, the promoters aren't. Reach for the stars and grab that #1PFP title! ~fan for life!~
