Is ggg currently in negotiations to duck Jacobs?

[-MEGA-]

I thought you had to be at least semi-intelligent to be a mod on this site but I guess I was wrong.

1. The Froch tweet was a joke.

2. It's easy to be generous with other people's money.

3. Jacobs is a straight up ***** if the fight doesn't happen.

Whys that?

Hes supposed to just take an "L" for chump change?

He could just fight wade, monroe, Murry, lemeiux and the rest of the gang and get 1.25 for each of em.

"If you dont fight the most feared, strongest, baddest, most dangerous, and Insert a bunch of other ball licking sayings. Then hes a bunch of asterisks"

Makes sense.





























































Put your thinking cap on bud. Im already three steps ahead of you.

No point in discussing things with this guy.

What's the problem?

Ask uncle Al to win the purse bid, pay Jacobs his $3 million (25%), and pay GGG $9 million (his 75%, respectively)...

Do you think that HBo can make GGG skip this purse split?

Or they could just negotiate it like its the number 1 vs 2 guy in the division.

Sounds far fetched, I know.

So hes a "world level 160" (which is apparently just below elite) but you wouldnt call him an elite 160 though... Interesting.

However you did agree that Jacobs would be the slickest fighter that ggg would have faced at this point.

So to sum it up;

I call Jacobs a slickster elite and you have now bargained me down to jacobs being an "african american, world level 160, slick, but not slickster"

Am I getting this right?


But he would be the slickest and the most elite fighter ggg has faced to date, correct?

The way Jacobs KOed Chocolate and other recent opponents makes him look elite to me. He would be the best fighter GGG ever fought and he would be a dangerous fight for anyone. GGG would be the best fighter Jacobs ever fought as well.

its always smart to put all your eggs in one basket

Like they did with Canelo when they rejected the Ward fight?

Sounds far fetched, I know.

... but you must know that they don't sell much, right?... and that, at this point, "regular" HBO can't give more than $3.5-4 million for the fight?

no, hes a world level 160 but hes not an elite slickster, cause hes not slick in the first place. Brooks probably just as slick and i wouldnt class him as a slick fighter either. Slick fighters are like lara, mayweather, dirrel etc, not daniel jacobs. hes an offensive power puncher, no defensive nous at all really. Thats why most people when talking about the fight say jacobs best chance is landing a big shot on ggg early

Well besides GGG who's elite at 160? Don't say Canelo because he hasn't beaten a 160 fighter yet.

lol no you arent getting it right at all. the point im making is jacobs isnt some mega slick fighter, ive never heard him called a slickster before i clicked on this dumb thread. i have serious serious doubts that ggg is thinking 'oh damn jacobs is too slick for me'. hes not some defensive, slippery, awkward fighter. Perhaps you should actually watch him fight rather than getting bogged down in tripping me up over saying 'african american' instead of 'black', cause you arent coming across as half as clever as you think you are.

Im just busting your balls on the african american thing.


So what, I called Jacobs a "Slickster Elite"

You've admitted that Jacobs would be the slickest fighter hes fought at 160 though.

And you know hes the most elite guy at 160 outside of ggg at this moment.

But somehow I cant call him a slickster elite.


Its like when one guy calls another guy an african american and one takes offence and tries to explain how hes black american and they're two completely different things that represent the same thing.

Do you get it now, slick?

Why are people even talking about negotiating? Just go to purse bid and be done with it.

i wouldnt say any of them are 'elite' fighters. if you want to get into technicalities, i guess if you are second best 160 that technically means you are the elite of that division, but when i talk about 'elite' im thinking of a pound for pound top 10 level guy and jacobs is nowhere near that. i dont think theres an elite fighter at 168 or 160 other than ggg. i dont rate canelo much either to be honest, when he fought an elite fighter who was considerable smaller he lost every round or near enough.
