WBA better not give anymore extensions either. It's been 3 months. A fight like this, which isn't that big, shouldn't be taking 3 months to make.

Golovkin and Jacobs have until 5 p.m. ET to make deal or purse bid will be ordered for Dec. 17 in Panama - The Ring https://t.co/xjKjy6xDAa

exactly. Loeffler should never have asked for an extension to try and reach a deal with these clowns. He should have let it go to bid and whatever happens happens.....

3 months no deal done. That's ridiculous.

Not sure who to blame but I highly doubt this fight gets made. Both guys need to move on I guess.

No way GGG fights on another outlet other than HBO.

He didn't ask for an extension to get a deal done...he did it to buy time and find another easy fight for Gigi.

If haymon wins the bid no excuse on ggg part on fighting on another network

[Mr. Objectivity]

rooting for jacob not to duck, If he does fight GGG, he wouldve made Son of gift's ducking really embarassing.

I wish the WBA had the power to just force these two to fight without giving either fighter an escape route. Because this fight ain't happening otherwise.

WBA won't strip GGG, then they'd be left with Jacobs. lol Not a good trade for them. They need to cut Jacobs loose asap and get a new mandatory to step up who will be willing to make the fight happen. Lara would be a great substitute but I don't think that will happen for various reasons.
