Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Manager: O'Sullivan Must Be 'Realistic' to Get the Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Irish middleweight Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan is one of the opponents under consideration to fight Daniel Jacobs on April 28 in Brooklyn. Keith Connolly, Jacobs' manager, warned, however, that O'Sullivan's handlers must be "realistic" about what they're asking to be paid for a fight HBO would televise as the main event of a card at Barclays Center. Brooklyn's Jacobs (33-2, 29 KOs) will headline a card in his hometown that night, whether he faces O'Sullivan or another opponent.

"The other guys that we’re waiting to hear back from could also be good fights." What other guys?

Love Danny Jacobs. His is talented but nothing special.

So what exactly is "realistic"? Jacobs looked lousy against Arias, especially when comparing that fight to how well he fought against Golovkin. He may be the A side in a fight with O'Sullivan, but not so much as to demand that Spike fight him for peanuts.

Lol he ran to hbo to fight Luis Arias and fućkn Spike O’Sullivan smh. I don’t think BJS scared of him either

Really disappointing matchup if it comes about. Jacobs should be fighting Andrade, Charlo, or Saunders. Maybe Murata at worst.

Andrade and Saunders BOTH don't want it.

Go watch Saunders interviews about Jacobs calling him out after the Lemieux fight, they speak for themselves.

Andrade recently ducked that Russian guy for a number 1 contender status and says he wants a shot at Golovkin or Canelo...(****ing clown lol)he's definitely not fighting Jacobs either.

Murata is with Top Rank, They are done with HBO.

Charlo is fighting for the WBC Interim Title against Hugo Centeno.

Eddie Hearn baybay. Taking over American boxing

Daniel "A-side" Jacobs

Fight Andrade or Charlo! This Spike fight would have little appeal.

Saunders is running as far away from Danny Jacobs as possible.
