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

[Eastcoast]

except that ndam will also avoid ggg like he's done before.ndam dropped the wba belt years ago when he ducked ggg.

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.

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

Listing the big fights that Haymon and De La Hoya prevented from being made would be more to the point.

After 7 days, we'll find out if GGG vs Jacobs will end up on that list.

Can they just do a freaking purse bid already? This is pretty ridiculous. This is the same thing we heard a month ago.

Definitely not holding my breath for this fight. They'll just keep asking for extensions and next thing you know it's mid February and still no fight in site

lets hope it doesn't come to that.jacobs needs to step up to the ggg challenge.

Loeffler is widely considered one of the better guys around the sport, easy to deal with. GGG and k2 Spent his whole career making concessions just to land the fights they have gotten, just because they finally take a stand doesn't makmake him a snake.

I wonder who knows more about negotiating a boxing match, you are Loeffler? If that question needs answering, then I don't need a response.

Title defenses add value to a fighter, which dictates their worth, which impacts negotiations. I guess it goes back to the above question.

He never said he wanted the purse split, only that he agreed with the ruling by WBA, which meant they were not going to force a 60/40 split.

Can't take anything you say seriously. You can't even spell..... so you don't know anything about boxing or negotiating a boxing match.

Now they have 7 days or else

Probably another extension for holiday break LOL

Lol yea... Exactly. How many deadlines has the WBA given now? Every time it's a new deadline.

First Loeffler doesnt have roster Al Haymond does. GGG vs Lemiux and GGG vs Kell Brook, both SOLD OUT. Chocolatito vs Cuadras. Ur comparing apples with Oranges, who has made better fights Bob Arum or Al Haymon in the past 30 years? Ill wait.
The comparisons are absurd.

[OnePunch]

anymore when I read Loefflers quotes its like Im hearing Charlie Brown's teacher.......

wonk wonk wonk...... we're hopeful ...... wonk wonk wonk .... we're making progress...... wonk wonk wonk ...... me and Al Haymon have a great relationship.... wonk wonk wonk ............ we should know something soon....... wonk wonk wonk ............ we're getting close........ wonk wonk wonk

and nothing happens.

Its infuriating............

Negotiations are on-going for a fight between WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) and his mandatory challenger Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29KOs). The hope is that should this fight comes to fruition in mid-March in New York.
