You're not the only one, bud.

Time to load up the undercard. Get Gonzalez/Caudras II, hearing Usyk vs Cunningham or Durodola, maybe round 1 of the WBC MW tourn, and being St. Patty's weekend - Andy Lee, Sean Monahagn, Jason Quigely, and Heather Hardy might be good idea.

tickets are priced from $100-$1000.

That's double the amount GGG ticket prices have ever been. Lemieux-GGG was $50-$500. If this sells out the Garden at that price it proves Jacobs is a strong B-side and was right about wanting 2 Quillins. He can't sell tickets at this price for no other fighter besides Canelo

K2 Promotions is the lead promoter for the fight; the card that you are suggesting would involve Top Rank, Golden Boy, and DiBella Entertainment all moving against their own plans and differing to K2.

That is very unlikely to happen.

Golovkin-Jacobs, Gonzalez-Cuadras II, and Usyk-Durodola (Durodola doesn't have a big-time promoter in the way) are the likeliest for the event.

The rest will come down to what K2 can leverage out of their relationships and the interest of HBO.

K2 has been working with Ryan Martin too. I can see him opening up the broadcast...but they should give him a tough opponent.

It will be interesting to see who the crowd is backing.

For example with Kovalev-Ward, Boxing Scene was under the impression that Kovalev was going to be cheered because he is an action fighter and Ward was going to be booed because he is a defensive fighter. Instead, Ward was cheered because he was American and Kovalev was booed because he was not. After the decision, the crowd booed even though the American won because they felt the other fighter deserved it. Now with that said, Ward is from California, but that fight took place in Nevada.

Jacobs is from New York and the fight is in New York. Golovkin has drawn crowds in New York but he's not from America. It will be interesting to see who the crowd is backing during the ring walks.

Monahagn will most likely be on TR's Friday show. Andy Lee/Jorge Heiland had already been planned to be on the undercard if Golovkin/Jacobs had fought in December. Now that both guys are likely headed into the WBC tournament, that could still be the case.

Heather Hardy is with DiBella, and I'm sure he'd love to have her on the card. Katie Taylor is also being rumored to join the undercard. There's no reason GB wouldn't want Quigley on the card as it'd expose him to a massive Irish audience. With Conor McGregor carrying out the flag for Conlan the night before, he's likely to be there, making for an electric Irish atmosphere.

I suspect the crowd will root for Jacob because he equally possess a high knock out rate.

I didn't realize how BIG the Irish community was in NY until I saw the Santa Cruz vs. Frampton fight! It sounded like 95% of the fans were ROOTING for Frampton... He's in for a RUDE awakening when he comes to Vegas though. Because Sanata Cruz will have a HUGE MexiCAN fan base in their this time. And they are LOUD!!!
