Comments Thread For: Loeffler Relieved to Finalize Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs

[Shadoww702]

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.

That's a tough one??? If it was in Vegas or California it would DEFINITELY be GGG. But it being in NY where their isn't really a Mexican fan base it probably will be Jacobs.

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

That's still not a bad price! Shoot parking alone in NY is like $50!

Golovkin wants four fights a year, but it never happens. Maybe GGG should join Arum or something. This Loeffler guy just couldn't do it.

I like Conlon a LOT!!! He's the REAL DEAL and I see him being HUGE for boxing down the road. And Bob Arum might be a DIC liar but he's GREAT at building fighters resume's.

I prefer he DOESN'T fight 4 BUMS a year and saves that $$$$ on fights like Jacobs instead. They have a BUDGET! You either SPEND it all on 2 Good/GREAT fights or you spread it out on 4 Tomato cans. So your telling me you would rather see SHTY fights as long as you got to see MORE GGG???

Don't buy canellas stories GGG is in top 4 draws in all of boxing canella will make money with Chavez only because of name fonfara iced him please it's a joke he can make the most with ggg than anyone he was a jm couldn't make middle now he can make 165 ? He fights at 185 fraud lyer no ba$$!.

[bronx7]

Canella vs GGG can sell out cowboy stadium and do huge ppv numbers and pay canella most he or ggg ever made

Why are ya'll obsessed with him fighting four times a year? You'd rather see him fight four bums a year than two quality fights a year. No more bums for this guy.

I just wanted to say great work to Tom Loeffler, Al Haymon, Showtime, HBO and PBC for coming together and dispelling all the myth's for those dissenter's that said this deal could never be reached.

BRAVO gentlemen. Bravo.

I don't mind giving you my hard earned money when you make fights like this. My hat's off to you

So glad this fight came up. GGG only has another 18 months I reckon of top level performance, 18 months to establish some kind of legacy with probably another 5 fights to do it. Jacobs as first fight is not a bad one at all.
I still don't see Canelo fight coming off in September - there will be some bull**** excuse come up and it'll probably get put back to May '18 if ever. Throw a bunch of cash at BJS or whoever has his belt and then move up. Get out of 160 as unified and before all the mandatories waste your time.
