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

[Metho_4u]

Whatever you say, lame troll. Try convincing Jacobs, Saunders and Canelo

It's not about trolling, how many times will golovkin fans buy the "everybody's scared of us" excuse? Then it comes out they wanted Ward, but at 164, they wanted Froch, but at 166, they wanted Canelo, but not for 10 million, they wanted Saunders, but lowballed him, they wanted Jacobs, but they wanted to give him what he already made to ko what was considered a top guy in the division, I think he deserves more. Quillen is a better name than anyone on triple fafafachina's resume...they WOULD'VE fought Degale, but conveniently, Brook signed first (though they never offered the fight to Degale).
When are you gonna fuggin wake up?? Golovkin's a joke, he's yet another product of careful hbo matchmaking and protection. Lol at imbeciles like you who fall for that ****** ****.

Yep

Coupled with the fact that he'd become an instant sporting star in the US if he won and command potentially massive purses as a result, his attitude makes no sense whatsoever

you just described Canelo/Golovkin, you utter tard.....

Jacobs is American. That's why he would become a star in the US by beating GGG.

Canelo's fan base is mexican-american. They go to his fights and buy the PPVs because he is a Mexican. Golovkin won't become a Mexican by beating Canelo.

And he won't become a star with US fans by beating some guy known to non-mexican americans only as - "Hey .. is that the ginger kid who got beat by Mayweather?"

Per Rafael of ESPN - who by the way is paid for his inside info and expertise - GGG team is offering more than the Wba mandated 25%...but Haymon wants 40%.....

[MDPopescu]

Based on the fact that GGG is the champion and the WBA rules state that the champion is entitled to 75% of the purse if it goes to a bid.

What you wrote about Quillin being better than anybody GGG has beaten made me lol, btw.

It's boring to keep repeating that the rules say 75-25% split...
Jacobs has to comply with the rules, beat GGG up, and then get the 75% purse cut while defending his new belts in the future... What's so complicated?

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Jacobs is a Spike TV regular who can't even sell out a small venue in his hometown.... 40% is ridiculous. Easy work for GGG if it happens - Repeat of Pirog domination and ko.

[kafkod]

why you salty? Canelo already paid his dues he a young veteran young boss that can now call the shots because he earned that right, He vacated the wbc belt like a boss

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Yea Canelo the man...lol. Per Canelita " I am not a MW, I need to build my body (balls) up to 160 and see how it reacts b4 I fight Ggg " direct quote from the man himself!! Laughable BC he enters the ring on fight nite well North of 170.

Why people bringing up Canelo, that fight's not next. The Canelo offer was for a fight one year away with multiple fights in between. Jacobs didn't turn down an offer for a fight that's a year off and Golovkin didn't turn down an offer for December '16 or March '17.


What real incentive does Showtime have paying an outrageous offer for Golovkin/Jacobs, when the most likely outcome is Golovkin comes on Showtime, destroys Jacobs, then goes back to HBO? Showtime's not going to pay a boat load of money to promote an HBO fighter. This fight is dead. Jacobs and Haymon never wanted it. Haymon got Golovkin off his December date and put Charlo/J-Rock on there instead, it was all just a game. Jacobs is going to vacate just like Quillin did.

That's the way it's always worked in boxing. But not for Golovkin, apparently. He isn't entitled to his mandatory split, either as challenger, against Canelo, or as champion, against Jacobs.

Canelo making the sacrifice taking the risk to move up. Daring to be great GGG on the other hand using excuses that he won't move from 160 till he unifies. But canelo has no belts for GGG. Uh.... GGG wants that payday but his team too ****** like his fans
