Daniel Jacobs' HBO Deal?

[TheBigLug]

Hearn is going to have to start putting serious money up to get someone to fight Jacobs.

Jacobs isn't a big draw, doesn't generate money and has no title. All he really brings to the table is potentially very difficult fight.

Unless Hearn starts overpaying opponents, i think he will struggle to get some big fights. I think he might have a chance getting fights with the top guys at 168 if he's willing to move up. What options are at 160? can't see the GGG rematch happening anytime soon. Can't see Canelo jumping at the chance to fight Jacobs. Saunders is with Frank Warren which makes it difficult to make. Then the likes of Andrade and Charlo are good fights but really they're not even bigger names than Jacobs..

[Randall Cunning]

Considering whats available for him to fight the Irish angle for the card could be a clever move

[MasterPlan]

Jacobs will fight the G vs Canelo winner in the fall

Saunders, Charlo, Dervachenko?

[TheUntouchable]

I think he's on the shortlist for Canelo or GGG next. GGG more than Canelo obviously I'd assume. So yea this was the move to make for him I feel to potentially get the big fights cuz he was even less likely to get those fights outside of HBO.

How was it unlikely when he already got the big fights before joining Hearn?

From fights against Quillin and Golovkin to Arias and O'Sullivan.

Saunders, Charlo, Dervachenko?

Saunders won't fight him... He's been scared of Jacobs for years

Derv is his sparring partner

Charlo wants GG, not sure he's willing to fight Jacobs. Either way, Jacobs gives him work

[Mammoth]

Beats fighting once a year

For sure. I just can't believe they passed up on an Andy Lee fight for bum ass Spike.

I'm talking about GGG with those 3 opponents.
WBC Interim, IBF Mando and WBO Champ. GGG takes those before Jacobs rematch.

Yeah, pretty much. I think Saunders would fight him but it has to be all on his terms, and that's not what Jacobs and team are really trying to achieve.

Dan Rafael says Derevyanchenko and Andrade are in talks at the moment. Noticed Derevyanchenko pulled out of that tune up he was supposed to be having

Charlo wants the top dogs, and if Canelo wins and doesn't accept the WBC he'll automatically get promoted to full champ.

Murata wants to do a bit of milking it sounds like.

There really isn't much left. Noticed O'Sullivan has a bit of a social media following, didn't expect that. Him and Taylor get an Irish turnout it could work out well for a keep busy fight.

[Mammoth]

Jacobs vs O'Sullivan is going to be an empty house like Salido vs Roman.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Okay, but tell me what he's doing on the PBC side of things?

I'd speculate fighting once every 9 months vs equal or lesser opponents than he's fighting now & not being on GGG's or Canelo's shortlist at all? HBO>PBC for Jacobs.

He didn’t want to fight the top dogs at PBC so he ran to hbo to fight bums
