    possibly. Or he might could have done the IBF mando a little early which would free up spring and summer of 2017 to try and make a Saunders fight.....

      If 10 people call out ggg for a fight and he fights a total of none. Would that mean he could sit on water with his web feet slightly under so he could go places and do thangs?
      Silence, bone choker.

              bottom line is that the Quillin purse was not a true reflection of Jacobs market value. It was Haymon throwing other peoples money around.

              Why is it that people like you insist that because ONE person overpaid Jacobs for ONE fight, that somehow that figure is the new benchmark for his purses? Hint: It isnt. And its funny that you mention the "8500" number, as if a Brooklyn guy fighting another Brooklyn guy IN BROOKLYN with an all-NY undercard selling 8500 tickets (minus the comps) in an arena that holds 19000 is some kind of accomplishment. Hint #2: It isnt. Its actually embarrassing, considering a guy from Kazahkstan, with only a few years of HBO exposure, can sell out MSG........
              Why do you keep comparing ggg numbers to Jacobs? It's quite clear that Jacobs is the b side in this one. That's not even the debate. You said Jacobs couldn't draw and brought no money. 8500 and 1.5 mil is respectable no matter how you want to twist it.


              lets use some onepunch logic for a second here.

              ggg fighting a WW and making 5 mil = not overpaid

              ggg guarantee 2 mil purses for wade, Monroe etc = not overpaid

              Jacobs fighting quillen 2 vs 3 in the division for 1.5 = overpaid
              (Not to mention having quillen on his resume is better than any name on ggg's)


              You also believe that Jacobs should take less money to fight a bigger threat in ggg.

              So should ggg take less money when he vs Canelo?

              Then you ignore the fact that This would be a unification fight against the clear cut number 2 of the division which in itself makes the fight worth more. But in your opinion Jacobs is not entitled to any of that.

              In fact, your perfectly fine with low balling Jacobs and forcing him to vacate rather than actually seeing the fight.

              You don't believe the reward should match the risk unless it comes to fighting Ward or Lara. Then there's not enough money there to take the fight, right?

              And then there's my favorite. "Why should ggg give Jacobs a 15% raise out of his pocket"

              You have to be up there in the same level of hipocriticle bafoonery as Abel Sanchez.

              I think it's sad that for a fighter that dominates his division the way he does he's one of the biggest paper champs ever all through not negotiating fairly. Hell, even his title defense record is inflated.

              That's what a few years of HBO marketing and exposure can do for you.

                    Dude, just stop....

                    Onepunch's logic is fine and makes perfect sense..

                    A fihter is overpaid or underpaid based on the revenue they generate..
                    Golovkin promoters can handle his 5 million purses because he draws a ton of revenue.. He has sold out all over the globe..

                    Jacobs DOESNT bring hardly any revenue.. He couldn't sellout his hometown arena and GGG can

                    Ggg is the highest rated fighter on hbo for the past few years, jacobs barely draws any viewership

                    So yeah,,, ggg isnt overpaid when he gets 5 million because he draws much more in revenue

                    Jacobs is overpaid because he doesn't draw the revenue to justify multi million dollar purses..

                    Just because Haymon overspent doesn't mean that's what jacobs is worth.. There is a reason why Pbc has lost so much money and are cutting costs,, it's because they were paying foghters more than what they were drawing

                      it is NOT a unification. It is nothing more than a mandatory defense of GGGs WBA title.........
