Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Jacobs Deal in Play, No 50-50 For Golovkin

[Shadoww702]

very rare for a champion to fight a mandatory as a late replacement - look at Wilder - fought fat, beer-bellied Arreola and novice Washington as replacements for Povetkin and Ortiz.

Did they get stripped though? He also could of postponed the fight as well. Instead he chose Vanes. A 2 year retired 154lber Im sorry but you cant give that a pass. Hind sight is 20/20 but that Jaime/GGG fight is looking like it could of been a GREAT one. So I have to give him some credit on that.

Boxing Rec. has Vanes Ranked #20 and Sergiy #8.

Thats why he fought Vanes.

You know the betting odds were WORSE than Rod Salka vs. Danny Garcia?? Thats a top 10 WORST mismatch of the last 10+ years.

Damn that I didn't know!
Tripps me out how all these Triple g nuttriders are quick to shet on Canelo but yet they defend Triple g fighting Vanes when he could of easily fought his IBF mandatory....
Fuccing pathetic!

[Shadoww702]

I agree. The only other reason, which I don't personally buy, is that Oscar is right and GGG is afraid to fight Canelo. It is a dumb move to leave $20 million on the table.

Dan Rafeal is posting that Loeffler was on board. Its GGG and ONLY GGG holding up the fight.

[True That]

55/45 or 60/40 seems fair.

Hopefully they can work it out and have a rematch.

Jacobs will beat Canelo if this happens

[BattlingNelson]

He could arguably make more with Jacobs as he will get the majority of the PPV money and all of the television money from Mexico.

Will it be PPV? How much do you reckon Canelos purse would be for Jacobs?

the..... " ego "..... " principle "..... and, " pride "..... excuses..... are fkn ridiculous..... come on

what ridiculous reasons to supposedly shoot yourself in the foot lol

btw, Golovkin burned his principle/pride/ego excuses with Ward

Gennady knew exactly what the result would be of demanding 50%

and he got exactly what he expected

come on, this is ridiculous..... poor little ******ed Gennady lol

These are the same idiots, ggg included along with his fans, that claimed CAnelo ducked when he vacated the belt in the last. Smart people understood, that my vacating he basically earned more millions negotiations. But now, “pride, self respect, ego” and all that other bs is a better reason to them to justify ggg blatant duck?! The blasphemy!!!

[moochi]

I think it's not ludicrous to ask for 50/50 for which he's probably aiming for 45% which is more than fair considering Canelo's two failed drug tests and 6 month delay. Not to mention GGG beat him first time around convincingly.

Well believe fishnets at your own risk.. All this posturing and Hearn hasn't squeaked out a fart about it, sounds like a distraction imo..

Another ass clown with "boxing" in his name that dont know SHT about it!

"Eddie Hearn has CONFIRMED he has received an offer from Oscar De La Hoya for a fight with Canelo"

Eddie Hearn "I can tell you that WE love the fight" "Its a fight that when I signed Daniel Jacobs he told me he beats Canelo every day of the week".
