Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Honestly, I Didn't Know If Golovkin Fight Would Get Made

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I mean, you wanted a ridiculous split, needed 10 week camp and what else was there? I wouldn't had been so sure either.

I read the title more like "I wasn't sure if I wanted the Golovkin fight."

Cemetery plots can be expensive.

GGG might be the one going in the hole

Lol. Remember that stunt Curtis Stevens pulled, when he and his mates staged a mock funeral for GGG before their fight?

Any rumors on who is getting what? I'd bet this is a wash for Haymon, he's not going to make a dime unless this does surprisingly well on PPV.

Nobody on Jacobs' side would confirm a number. But other sources have said Jacobs was seeking a $3M guarantee 2 fight Golovkin

I didn't think the fight would get made either. Everybody said you were scared and ducking.

I'm happy the fight was made, but I'm also disappointed that both boxers lost another opportunity to fight someone else (or each other) in December due to the prolonged negotiations. If the mandatory is supposed to get 25%, then it bothers me even more that Team Jacobs didn't just accept and try and beat the man to become the man and make millions as the new champ.

Fight who? Neither was fighting Saunders or Canelo. What's the point of fighting another bum? Quality>quanity

Loeffleur was more than fair to Jacobs. Jacobs was asking too much. That is what the hold up was. But it finally got done. Jacobs kind of feels that GGG will derail his career so he wanted big money.

You're worth what someone is willing to pay.

The fight has been made, so no need to discuss the negotiations anymore, but these Haymon guys need to start demanding that their "adviser" make the damn fight that they say they want. Hopefully, that is what Jacobs did instead of just hoping that it got made.
