Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Jacobs: Loeffler Updates on Negotiations, WBA Order

[boxingitis]

GGG-Brook was a fight Hearn made. GGG-Lemieux. If you want to call that a big fight ok that's cool. Give me more big fights he's made. My point is he can't make the fight with Haymon or De La Hoya. De La Hoya is suing Haymon and they've made a big fight together. But somehow everyone else gets the blame except Loeffler?????

Loeffler just created a bigger name than any one of the PBC roster. Plus he is trying to make a deal with Daniel Jacobs an Al Haymon fighter, and they fought Wade an Al Haymon fighter. Also Loeffler made the fight with Golden Boy for the Lemiux fight. Also made a fight with Hearn for the Kell Brook fight. So that shows Loeffler can work with various promoters.
Its pretty obious when u drop a belt whos fault it is. Canelo should had drop the Middleweight belt right after the Cotto fight, becauae according to him and his team he is not a Middleweight, and thats why he get ****ted on.

Sounds like a lawyer dancing around the truth while saying a whole lot of nothing, his last name should be spelled LAWffler.

Talk all the shyt u want about Jacobs, he is a natural mid that hits hard and he will be a big test for GGG. I expext Golovkin to win but how he wins and how he looks doing it will be what I am looking for.

List the big fights Haymon and De La Hoya have made then list the big fights Loeffler has made...I'll wait

Wait all you want, Loeffler isn't the one holding up this fight !! Jacobs doesn't want to take the WBA's mandated 75/25 purse split. The extension was to give DJ a better deal but apparently it's still not what he wants. After 7 days the WBA should demand that Jacobs either accept the terms offered or vacate and let GGG fight the next highest ranked opponent available.

The WBA already said if Jacobs drops out that they'd mandate Blanco/Golovkin. So if N'Dam beats Blanco (no problem), he's up. It'd be funny if N'Dam vacated the WBA interim title to avoid Golovkin for a second time in his career, but I don't think he will.

Remember N'Dam's Olympic run got him banned by the WBC & IBF for 2 years, his options are limited. Plus now that he took an 'L' from Lemieux, I think N'Dam's pretty willing to get in the ring with Golovkin. He's got no cherry to protect.

... What wrong that poor N'Dam did to you?

Fight is not happening.....why???? Well the pbc fans are not furious that there pbc fighter is not in any hurry to try an dethrone GGG....they like the fact that the negotiations have taken so long....they are all gonna come out with the bidnizzman argument.....or some strawman deal....this is where the pbc fans should be outraged and demand that jacobs take the fight .

... actually, the "PBC fans" previously stated here that they expect GGG to vacate, in case this is going to the purse bid...

... or Showtime could win the purse bid and place GGG on a hot spot...

Sounds like team Golovkin wouldn't move on the terms to make the fight, so they waited again for the WBA to force the issue. Bad management IMO.

[Kigali]

then, why did YOU call for an early purse-bid Tom ?

He likely thought Jacobs didn't want the fight.

[IMDAZED]

Seven more days....

These people must be negotiating like it's a game of chess, with rule of one move per day. I really hope this fight comes off. Good news is that atleast Hassan N'Dam is fighting Blanco for the interim belt in a few weeks, so if it's not Jacobs, it'll be N'Dam which ain't to bad, probably more competitive than Jacobs.

Ain't too bad? No, that's terrible.

Jacobs is ***'d!!!!! He's going to have to take the $1.25 million to fight GGG.

No ONE is going to bid on the fight to pay GGG 75%. So Loeffler will be the only one bidding and will most likely offer $5 million split 75/25.

Jacobs is SCREWED because the 160 division is DOGSHT!! EASILY in the top 3 worst divisions. Jacobs would be better off moving up to 168lb division.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Lmao Triple B better take that 10 mill flat fee! Looks to me Jacobs will fight someone else or just move up to 168!

[Shadoww702]

At least Loeffler admitted they were never going to give Jacobs more than 25%. He's going to have to take it or leave it...

With this bad of a split someone is going to have to bid between $8-10 million to get even close to what Jacobs wants.

And that's still going to be only $2-$2.5 million. GOOD Luck seeing anyone bid that much to GIVE K2 $6-$7.5 million.
