Comments Thread For: Wilder-Ortiz, Jacobs, Lipinets Showtime Tripleheader in Play

[BamaSlamma]

NYC will be a mess that weekend due to the marathon.

Nothing against Stiverne, but it was a smart play taking the money. He's about 4 years removed from being a threat. He gets some extra cash and sets himself up for one last mandatory payday.

Who Jacobs winds up fighting will say a lot about him. Is he the bada$$ boogey man GGG's haters make him out to be or is he the guy who is content with not getting KO'ed?

If it's a bum it's because he's a "boogey man".

To all the hating ass f@ggots that I told this fight will happen this year and if it didn't wouldn't be because Wilder "backed out", "got hurt" or priced himself out. Wilder is going to win this fight handily
Showtime PBC is eating it up this year. Keep up the great work Haymon and they said PBC would fail or go broke.

They just hit a massive success with Mayweather vs McGregor broke the UK PPV record. Can't wait for this fight.

I'll be in the building that night at Barclays. NYC will be very busy. Wilder v. Ortiz at Barclays with GSP v. Bisping at MSG.

I bet both sell out.

Hope Jacobs fights someone real. I mean at least give us Hugo Centeno Jr since he got that nice W over Aleem.

Actually looking at the rankings idk that there is anything worth a damn for Jacobs thats a reasonable fight to be makeable. I don't expect Derevyanchenko to be down for a fight when I believe he gots a mandatory now. Charlo I believe is lined up for a mandatory now too iirc. Who's Jacobs fighting at 160 who's likely to end up vs him on this card that anyone gives a f#ck about? Maybe some UK guy thats free at best if Murray or Andy Lee ain't got anything going on.

And I really hope they end up with someone besides that Kondo guy for Lipinets cuz no one will rightfully care about that fight if so. Be nice if they could get Troya lined up for that cuz at least he's got some name value & seems ranked fairly high in the IBF to get that fight belted. Doubt it, but I'd personally rather see Lipinets vs Troya than Lipinets vs Kondo.

Ortiz-Wilder should be interesting. If they want to take this tripleheader to another level, let's see Danny Jacobs-Jermall Charlo. Winner of that one will create a lot of buzz as a future challenger to the winner of Golovkin-Canelo. Charlo is already the mandatory for GGG, so his handlers would have to make it worth his while, but he hasn't proven anything yet at middleweight, and taking Danny's scalp would be a major accomplishment. Wave enough cash in front of his face and he might bite.

Assuming the typical budget applies here. I'm not expecting much in terms of opponents for either undercard fight. Wilder and Ortiz will eat up 2/3rds of the budget.

I bet this main event breaks the live gate record for Barclays.

Wilder sold 12.6k tickets at Barclays with Spiizka. I could see a $1.2 million live gate for this scrap.
