Daniel Jacobs may be co-main event on Golovkin-Canelo undercard

[Mammoth]

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

I though he has an IBF (?) eliminator with Dereveyeveyanchenchichko?

I like this.
They're setting up the next possible fight. If GGG wins, the Jacob's rematch is naturally next. Of Canelo wins, jacobs should be next.

I don't see how Jacobs opponent could be Tureano Johnson. Just last week Johnson and GBP were involved in a purse bid for a fight with Sergiy Derevyanchenko:

GBP lost the purse bid, DiBella (in reality Al Haymon) won it.

So Johnson is supposed to fight Derevyanchenko. Not sure where Jacobs fits in this picture.

Also, if I'm GBP I keep Lemieux away from Jacobs. Jacobs is a mover and a big middleweight. Lemieux would have a hard time with a guy like that. No need to risk a potential Canelo payday for a Jacobs fight

A middleweight Madness PPV would be so awesome.

Golovkin Vs Canelo

Lemule vs Saunders

Jacobs vs Lee

with Blue Chip Ryan Martin as the opener.

This sounds good but too much money. Saunders wanted $3 mil for ggg so I figure he will be asking for at least half that and Jacobs and lemule aren't cheap either

[Chuckguy]

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

I've been saying this for a while now

Agreed.

Especially if Lemieux can get Saunders. He wins that then a possible fight with Canelo gets him his highest payday of his career.

Solid undercard

[Eff Pandas]

Interesting. And glad to see Jacobs is looking to fight. Rooting on this being Davy L vs Jacobs. That would be a fun fight.

[Clegg]

Would be great if true but just feels unlikely unless GBP are signing Jacobs to a long-term deal.

perhaps Johnson isnt interested in fighting for 60 grand, and if GBP and Haymon were already talking about a Jacobs-Johnson match that would explain why GBP made such a small bid.

And no way they do Lemieux-Jacobs in a co-feature bout. As a matter of fact I doubt GBP would do Lemieux-Jacobs period. Decent chance Lemieux loses and theres no money in the fight.
