Comments Thread For: Barclays Exec: Jacobs Will Beat GGG at MSG; Bring Belts to Brooklyn

[jackblack008]

Alright pal whatever you say

[killakali]

There's no need to "save face"; Brooklyn would've really liked to host the fght, so Yormark is trying to put a smile on a situation that he could've really done nothing about.

K2 controls the event; their TV partner in HBO and their preferred venue on the East Coast is Madison Square Garden. And that's about it.

One thing of note; with Yormark having talked up the event, with Stephen Espinoza having already talked up his interest in the event, the purse bid would've been some really sad **** for K2.

what s moron this yormark loser is. They are really busy becsuse they have hickey and basketball. Like we don't know msg has the exact samw sports. There is no need or reason tindefend this loser.

We know pbc wasnt going to bud a purse bid where there guy only gets 25% as mandated. Are they throwing down 10mili to give 7.5 ti ggg lol not happening

If they really felt that way, Haymon would have sent it to bid instead of making a deal you dunce

Haymon holds a lot of top fighters -- it seems he actually "spinned off" this Jacobs...

some of the clowns here it seems they live vicariously through Al Haymon or something. I dont get it. That Scipio clown has been carrying on for months about how Haymon was gonna win the bid and force GGG to vacate and blah blah blah, and even now he cant admit that he doesnt know squat. Now its "oh K2 is lucky it didnt go to bid....blah blah blah...." lol clowns......

I know, I know... But don't take them too seriously -- this site heavily depends on trolling...

Showtime wasn't going to front a ton of money to have an HBO fighter come on to their network, KO the Showtime fighter, then leave back to HBO. Espinoza was doing his own 'saving-face'.

the fact that you earnestly believe that Daniel Jacobs has zero chance in the fight is laughable.

K2 wasn't going to put up anywhere near $10m, so there was no need for Haymon/DiBella to bid anywhere near $10m. The fact that you think that K2 is rolling to the bid with anywhere near that in their hand is hilarious.

DiBella will talk to Yormack (to see what they can project out for a potential gate at Barclays Center), will talk to Stephen Espinoza (to gauge how much money he'd be willing to put behind a Showtime Championship Boxing broadcast, or the amount he's willing to invest behind a SHOPPV broadcast), will talk to Eddie Hearn (to gauge the possible interest from Sky Sports for the UK rights), check the rest of the revenues, and put forward a competitive bid from there.

We'll see what the split looks like come March

If Jacobs ended up getting near that 40% split, he got the deal he wanted to begin with.

Espinoza stated that they would've put this fight on regular Showtime, not ppv. You're living in a dream world if you believe Showtime spends nearly a third of their budget on a fight, where their guy is an 8-1 underdog, and the other guy leaves back to their rival network.

Danny's getting $3mill, I assume GGG's getting atleast $4mill. You believe Showtime/Haymon puts up $8mill for this fight? That's laughable.
