Jacobs is the home fighter even though he is the b-side
Jacobs has a better than 60-40 purse split.
NYSAC requested an early weigh in so their boy Jacobs has more time to rehydrate.
Jacobs misses the IBF 2nd weigh in even though he committed to fight for all the belts as evidenced by making weight for the WBC 30 and 7 day weigh ins.
Hopefully GGG KOs this privileged cheater.
Moving the weigh in to the morning didn't have anything to do with Jacobs. Had the weigh in been in the evening like it usually is, Jacobs likely makes the IBF reweigh. The fact that the official weigh in was moved to 9AM though, added about 7-8 hours to the time, that the fighters couldn't rehydrate more than 10 pounds per IBF rules. That obviously threw a wrench into Jacobs' rehydration plans so he was like **** it.
This will make Golovkin's victory even sweeter. It doesn't matter if Jacobs doesn't honor the rules, weighs 185. He will take shots to the body that will beat him down until he just quits, or his corner quits him. Everybody will know he tried to game the weight. The announcers will all talk about it when Danny's beatup face at the post-fight is busy saying, "he ain't really all that powerful, etc."
