    Billie Joe isn't a draw. His fight with Lee had to be postponed mulitple time and venue changed because of poor ticket sales. His last fight was in a lesuire centre

    Degale isn't a draw in the UK either. He doesn't even fight there anymore. Hearn himself said that. If DeGale was the draw in the UK that Brook is he would've offered up DeGale instead of Brook.

    Eubank Jr just moved to 168. He isn't a draw either. That'll be proven his next fight when it bombs on ITV PPV.

      Jacobs should accept any reasonable offer.

      Lose and his credibility wont suffer too much of a hit as it's GGG

      Win and it's name your own price as he is an American that has beaten cancer and the big bad wolf.

      His earning power could potentially dwarf GGG's IMO

        And WTF do you expect him to say?

        "I'm negotiating a very small fight you know, this fight won't sell, Jacobs doesn't have people behind, but I hope it sells a little better than 150k?"

        Of course he's gonna say things like this fight will be huge etc... he's a promoter.

          Yeah and Brook wasn't a draw either and was fighting bums but we got 600k UK buys and 5 million purses for each fighter.

            I showed you how. I took previous PPV sales. Canelo's PPV high without Floyd was 350k. Cotto's PPV high without Floyd or Manny was 600k. Together they did 900k. Now Canelo's PPV high without Floyd is 460k (Khan) and GGG's is 150k. I know there are other factors to consider but you also have to consider GGG's last fight did worse ratings than his fight against Murray which was held in the same time frame.

              I'm really wondering if the reason Loeffler extended the negotiations is because if the negotiation details were made public after a failed negotiation w/ Jacobs, the public outcry would've been massive against Loeffler. Much more than it has ever been before.

              Hopefully all these details come out shortly
              It'll come out at the purse bid. Their bid will show us how much they think GGG can really generate in revenue.

                This was back in April before the WBA called the purse bid and while he wasn't negotiating with Jacobs. So.....?????

                  So you have a floor of 500k. It will double it, trust my words. I'll go beyond and say it will sell 1.1 or 1.2 millions.

                    I keep toying with you dude.

                    That video was from April 24th, same day after WBA announced that if Canelo-Golovkin didn't happen then they would mandate Golovkin-Jacobs http://www.boxingscene.com/wba-if-no...jacobs--103815

                    It was the next fight according to the WBA, so of course he was gonna say that.
