Comments Thread For: Daniel Jacobs Signs Multi-Fight Agreements With HBO, Eddie Hearn

is he still with haymon? we might see the rematch with GGG after all

Yes, see my above post. But I expect the rematch for sure.

Interesting move, but still looking to see how this plays out

Danny Jacobs is a good fighter, is still relatively young, and he and his camp have basically checked Golovkin at this point (two belts already have mandatory challengers, Jacobs is I believe the top rated challenger by the WBA, and Billy Joe Saunders is promoted by Frank Warren).

Would be nice to know the terms that were agreed to for Jacobs to be willing to give up his free movement for however long.

One of the first good moves in Jacobs career, hopefully more follow, Haymon/PBC can't create stars and all of the PBC fighters are way too inactive. Hopefully Spence and Thurman are next to leave.

Some of you guys just make things up. Danny hasn't left Haymon at all and he was never exclusively a PBC fighter. He was always able to fight where the best fights were. Which is why his last fight was on HBO.

WOW.....So does this mean Eddie Hearns is about to bring Matchroom Boxing exclusively to HBO? If so this is a very smart move by Eddie Hearns and HBO.

Also Danny Jacobs departing from Showtime is a big deal as well. So the majority of Middleweights are now with HBO outside of Charlo which eventually he's going to have to go that direction as well since thats where the money is at and champions.

Great deal for all 3 parties.

Charlo and Derevyanchenko are still in the Haymon orbit with Jacobs, among others, so it'll be interesting how those negotiations go down (does Golovkin pay the premium to bring guys over to HBO, or does he start giving up belts?).

Lol Jacobs running from Charlo.

There might be some merit to this in that I don't think Charlo will be allowed to move around companies.

Sources have informed BoxingScene.com that Daniel Jacobs has signed multi-fight agreements with HBO and British promoter Eddie Hearn.
The deals for Jacobs, a former WBA middleweight champion from Brooklyn, will be announced during HBO's replay of the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin middleweight title fight Saturday night.
Jacobs' last fight a highly competitive, unanimous-decision loss to Golovkin on March 18 at Madison Square Garden was broadcast by HBO. Two of Jacobs' previous three fights were televised by Showtime, but HBO's Peter Nelson began expressing interest in working exclusively with him since his close loss to Golovkin.
