    I don't think he is signing with golden boy but it makes no sense to put him on the undercard unless he is fighting a golden boy fighter. Looking on their website Golden boy middleweights are David Lemieux, Tureano Johnson, Patrick Teixiera, Yamaguchi Falcao, Morgan Fitch, Jason Quigley and obviously Canelo. Rumors that Cotto is moving up to 160 after his next fight but not sure I buy that.

    So somebody on that list Jacobs is fighting or agreeing to fight after the ppv.

      Why would they go get Jacobs for the card? If info is legit then they haven't decided who his opponent is. Lemieux has said he expects to fight someone bigger than Jacobs, so probably Cotto, though that seems hard to believe. Lemieux getting that Mando against Saunders seems likely, and I think he'd take that fight over Jacobs as well.

      So maybe GBP doesn't like the mandatory fight and is looking to establish tureano Johnson? I dunno

        I don't know but it's possible that K2 owes Jacobs a fight from the deal in march.

          Would be nice to have GGG's leftovers beat each other up.

                I doubt Cotto will fight either of those guys at 160. If Cotto fights someone like Lemieux he will do it at a catchweight. No way he does it at 160.
                Agree. No way he fights either one. They both stop him. And cotto's my guy.

                  Lemule vs Jacobs. Winner gets the the winner. Loser gets the loser of Canelo-GGG.

                    Lemieux isn't turning down a title shot to get whooped up on. I've said Korobov or Lee would be good opponents for Jacobs since everybody else is probably tied up.

                      someone posted that podcast with Oscar and I remember him bringing up Tureano Johnson's name up. Interesting.
