Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Has 'Postive Outlook' That Jacobs Deal is Close

[Shadoww702]

Canelo is lucky Ann wasn't there for that fight!!!

For sure! That made the fight 100x easier. Only casual fans ignore what proper trainers can do. Another one is Maidana Pre/Post Robert Garcia. And good trainers can also be very bad for certain fighters. Like Roach with Khan. Khan should of been using Emanuel Steward instead.

...or Jacobs would've kept his belt, and DiBella/Espinoza would've used the bid procedure to bring a Golovkin fight to Showtime, leaving Loeffler with a decision to make.

Why everyone seems so convinced that Jacobs would simply give up the belt is beyond me; where else is there for Jacobs to go, without a belt around his waist?

I really doubt that they want pay GGG 75% of the bid. That is pretty much what K2 would want since they can't provide GGG with a bigger purse. It was Hearn that payed GGG that $5 mil and it will be GB that will be paying him his biggest purse if the fight gets made. K2 can't afford to pay GGG and any other good opponent for a fight. Big reason why GGG can't get any big fights while K2 is cutting the checks, they only want to pay fighters around 500-600 thousand per fight. Jacobs could always challenge Canelo or Saunders or just move up to 168.

i have aboutfkntime on ignore because he is always talking BS.

he abandoned the thread anyways because I proved him to be a liar. He's just a troll

[aboutfkntime]

so then you admit you were LYING when you said Loeffler never mentioned Jacobs prior to the mando being called

Glad we got that cleared up.

he replied to a leading question

that is not calling out Jacobs, or trying to make the fight

they have shown no interest whatsoever in Jacobs, and the only reason why they are currently in discussion is because the WBA forced the mandatory

[aboutfkntime]

I think they'll offer him $3 million, and Saunders will jump at it! I think Saunders knows he has a better chance of beating Canelo than GGG!

exactly what I think

Golovkin won't get that fight

[aboutfkntime]

Posters on here say Golovkin is carefully managed. There may be some truth in that. I'd say Canelo is far more carefully managed.

He is not going to be put in with any dangerous MW and earn $10 million when he can be put in with Goolovkin and earn $40 million. So that rules out Jacobs for sure. Lemieux too. And probably Saunders although Saunders could win a 12 rounder 8-4 in Vegas or Texas and he's not getting a decision.

I'd expect him to go in with Wade, Rosario or someone on that level in May and then GGG in September , if at all.

I don't agree with that at all.

When Canelo moves to middleweight he will fight all of those guys.

Canelo fought the 4 best JMW's on the planet CONSECUTIVELY, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that he would/should avoid Jacobs.

I think he will fight those guys before Golovkin will, especially Saunders.

I used to call GGG well-managed, now I call him protected.

He is clearly taking the easiest possible fights.

Lemieux was not a threat, Canelo would smash him.

right, because..... Tom, promising to make the Jacobs fight a year ago when asked a leading question..... but then ignoring Jacobs and fighting Wade/Brook..... somehow proves you correct?

[r1onnie2]

Won't believe it till the bell rings to start rd1

I agree, I still don't think this fight is going to happen.

Why would you think that? That's dumb. They would have gone to purse bids way back, and not dropped their December date.

(1) Team GGG won't budge from 25% (they would if they wanted it)
(2) Jacobs won't take 25% (he would if he wanted it)

Am I missing something ?

Where do you get 1 from? You misunderstood, Team Jacobs appealed to the Wba to change the standard percentage if it goes to purse bids. Nothing to do with team Ggg, who've already offered way more to Jacobs even before the mando was ordered, see famous "2 Quillins" quote
