    Name the opposition besides Canelo that will bring money to the table at 160? Takes two to make a decent purse. Everybody at 160 can't attract flies to $h!t including ggg

So exactly how are the belts forcing anybody to fight him?
      When there are other belts in different hands, there are alternative roots and the possibility to avoid him. But once all belts are in his hands, it will be a different story.

        GGG has to be the one to bring the money to the table. Take BJS for example. If I can make $2M a fight fighting nobodies in my home country. Why fight GGG for $2.5M? GGG doesn't offer guys much more payday than they can get fighting lesser opposition. And until he is, he's gonna remain in the same boat he's in now.

          Nobody is avoiding him...they just want to get paid fairly.

            Totally bizarre to refer to that as 'criminal', especially when the writer thinks the win for GGG was fair. In my opinion a poorly argued piece, and the writer is clearly framing things in a biased manner (see my earlier post).

              I just said ggg can't attract flies to $h!t so where the hell is the money going to come from? The 2nd fighter has to pull their own weight but no body with the exception of canelo can add money to the pot.

              Again who the hell at 160 Can pull their weight since ggg can't attract flies to $h!t?

                If that's the case, sounds like GGG needs to deflate that ego a lil bit and take Canelo's offer.

                  Alternative roots to what? If I'm Joe Contender and I got two offers on the table. Fight GGG for $1M and 50 belts. Or, fight Joe Dip****, who I'm a beat the **** out of for $1M. Which one am I gonna choose?

The only other round I can see is 116-112 with the 1st being even. No way Jacobs won more than 5 rounds.Those who say he did are being generous or scoring on a curve.
                    That's your opinion, which even GGGaholics are entitled to. But, there is 'way'. Jacobs either won by a point or it was a tie. Deal with it. Your hero is limited, not the immortal messiah you think he is. Jacobs definitely deserves an immediate rematch before any of this b.s. ***elry collecting from your goofball faced idol.
