Why did Jacobs and Golovkin weigh in before 36 hours before the actual fight?

NYSAC requested it.

Most likely for Jacob's benefit as he is the home fighter.

If you go to boxing scene top headlines there is an article about it explaining everything.

So Jacobs can enter the ring as a cruiserweight and have 20lb on GGG and the US fighter has a better chance of winning. Nothing new.

Apparently, the Mickey Conlan fight was also yesterday. Moving the time up likely helped the NYSAC accommodate both shows
