Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs Deal Won't Be Done Today; 12/17 Purse Bid Looms

[aboutfkntime]

Geez, don't want to give Jacobs more than 25% so no fight. Don't want to accept 10 million plus PPV upside vs Canelo so no fight. GGG is one entitled mofo.

quoted for truth !

he could not make a meaningful fight if his life depended on it

[BluDivision]

WBA's 75/25 split means Jacob needs the purse bid at 8 mil to make 2 Mil. Doubt Showtime & Haymon plan to go that high. Can't help but wonder what is K2 really offering.

wow still trotting out that old tired LIE??

do I have to punk you again in front of everyone with a link that proves you are nothing but a liar?


from February.......

they have talked shht about everyone LMAO

FACT: Team Bull**** did not lift a finger - or so much as look in Jacobs direction - until the WBA mandated that fight

it is obvious that they don't need Jacobs..... and it is also obvious that Jacobs is a riskier opponent than the scrubs that Golovkin has been fighting..... so wow, what a surprise that team Golovkin seem to be doing everything they can to avoid that fight

it looks like K2 have manufactured yet another "ducking" story for Golovkin to attach to his resume'.

[Mr_Forte]

Neither do you, fact is that another potential GGG fight is not happening. Seen this story nefore... But everyone happens to be ducking GGG lol that's laughable

Lol. Nice comeback.

I never claimed to....you were the one making statements with no evidence to prove it (like everyone else on this shi**y forum). The offer could be 61-39 for all anyone knows.

[DoktorSleepless]

because he doesnt have a choice. The WBA ordered him to face Jacobs next. He is not able to take an interim fight. If he does, then he would get stripped....

GGG wouldn't have gotten stripped if he just had Jacobs stripped first. That's my point. They had the choice of extending the deadline, and they chose to do so repeatedly. He could have also requested an interim fight if K2 didn't want Jacobs stripped during the negotiations for whatever reason, and the WBA would have likely approved seeing how the WBA is already bending over backwards to get them to fight. It's not unprecedented. (http://www.fight news.com/Boxing/moreno-camp-oks-kamedas-request-to-delay-mandatory-defense-227120)

They could have shamed Jacobs and have him cornered without all these needless extentions. If Jacobs was stripped of his meaningless paper belt after the first deadline, but stayed in negotiations with GGG regardless for his next fight, there would be no difference in fan respect. All Jacobs had to say was "I'm not ready to fight again this year, but GGG is still my absolute priority for my next fight." And that already kind of happened when they missed the first deadline, so it would be no different. Unlike Canelo, he wouldn't be asking for 20 more fights before GGG, so he wouldn't lose that much respect.

The only difference would have been GGG being capable of fighting 3 times this year. That would have net him more money than skipping that third fight and fighting just Jacobs instead.

who fkn cares ?

quality > quantity

who the fk wants to watch Golovkin fight 3 more scrubs ?

rather than lose a payday..... why didn't Hypekin agree to pay Jacobs more money, and avoid losing that fight date..... that way he gets a good win on his resume and he fights 3 times in 2017..... right?

They could have nailed that fight down months ago..... got paid..... increased Golovkin's low public-profile..... and then fought 3 more times in 2017..... right?

right ?

..... or does lil'G dislike getting paid as much as he dislikes improving his resume'?

[angkag]

Golovkin still doesnt have enuff respect. Hes never on anyones top 5 pound for pound. Prime pavlik and taylor would thrash him

Thats right! He's not even in The Ring top 5, he's only number 4.

Hang on, 4 is bigger than 5 isn't it ?? Whatever.

[PK3434]

I have been patient with this one and I've even given Jacobs the benefit of the doubt instead of overreacting and calling him a ducker...but it's time for Haymon to stop with the games. And if Jacobs actually wants the fight, be a man and demand that your owner..I mean advisor, makes the deal.

Every other promoter Loeffler has ever worked with has said he reasonable and easy to work with. Haymon is obviously a nightmare to work with. Charlo and Williams are both under Haymon and that fight took like 6 months to negotiate and almost went to purse bid. But this is on Jacobs to man up and demand the fight.

[Robi13]

75-25 is no BS, is what the rules say. plus this isn't as big of a fight as some wanna make it to be. jacobs shouldn't get more than 2 millions, he isn't worth it

I agree about the rules, but jacons deserves more than 25 percent im simple pointing out that team GGG is once again in the middle of a non made fight. Maybe it's best or these bastards don't say anything at all until fight is signed

[aboutfkntime]

If it comes out later that GGG offered 70-30.....

..... then, he is a protected b1tch !!

A guy who is NOT a draw, and who does NOT have a good resume..... should not be offering a belt holder 30%..... especially not after refusing to fight a fat little red kid for 10mil.

..... because, Jacobs is a legitimate belt-holder..... right ?

..... or, is the interim/regular title, just rubbish ?

..... 65-35 and Jacobs still didn't sign what will you say about it? Just wondering.

..... imo, Jacobs should take 35%..... BUT, that is just MY opinion.

FACT: Golovkin is not a draw..... so, it would not kill him to split the pot 60/40..... like MANY more-deserving fighters have done in order to make a meaningful fight..... even Money-Mayweather gave Pac 40%, which is a lot more than he deserved when you compare their numbers.....

If they offered Jacobs less than 35%, then they low-balled him.
