BJS will hold his title hostage as long as possible. He's ducked Golovkin and Jacobs for a while now, but he'll pretend to want to fight both of them in an attempt to promote the fights he actually takes.
No different from Mayweather ducking Lara who was his mandatory at one point.
Tell me why TBE ducked Lara.
TBE fanboys:
Lara brings no money to the table doe.
Lara is boring to watch doe.
TBE only wants money fights doe.
Kills me with these fanboys.
Technically yes, he is ducking. That doesn't mean he gets slaughtered by Jacobs, but just that he acknowledges Jacobs is a big threat - he loses to Jacobs, he can say goodbye to a Canelo payday or GGG payday / unification. I do favour Jacobs both as a fighter, person and also to win vs Blow-Job Saunders.
It makes perfect business sense why he wouldn't fight him, but as a fan I want to see the best fight the best. Sadly, we won't be seeing that
It's not a duck because BJS is the champion and the onus is never on the champion to make a voluntary defense in the hometown of the challenger.
Actually, it is worse.
He wants 5 million pounds.
And what you wrote about the onus sounds really cool but that is exactly what he did with Lemieux and his purse was only 1 million dollars plus whatever they scrapped up from Canadian PPV and a 10,000 seat arena.
He'd get more fighting Jacobs in Brooklyn, no doubt.
And he is going to have to wait until at least Fall 2018 to get a shot at GGG or Canelo.
The other big money match for BJS, Eubanks Jr., fights in February. He loses, he isn't available til June or July. Jr wins and its the fall for him as well.
Who else can BJS fight in early 2018 that will be as big a fight as Jacobs?

Jacobs probably is the biggest money fight available to Blow Jobs Saunders right now.
