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

[True That]

Yep! It's looking good:

June 6, 2018:

Hearn, speaking to ESPN from his home in England, said he was pleased to hear from Gomez and hopes to finalize the fight.

"I can tell you that we love the fight," Hearn said. "It's a fight that when I signed Daniel Jacobs he told me he believes he beats Canelo every day of the week. We had a brief conversation with Golden Boy about a week ago or so [when Alvarez-Golovkin negotiations were first on the ropes] and it was hard to tell whether it was part of the plan in the negotiations with Canelo-Golovkin or if they really wanted the fight. We confirmed our interest and today we received an official offer to fight Canelo on Sept. 15.

"I've taken the offer to Keith Connolly, Danny's manager, Danny. We're extremely interested. Obviously, it's a huge fight."

Hearn said he hoped to make the deal quickly and didn't intend on dragging things out.

"It's a first offer and we are not looking to be difficult, but we know our value in the fight," Hearn said. "We have a guy in Daniel Jacobs who, in my opinion, beat Gennady Golovkin but in anybody's opinion had a wonderful fight with Golovkin which many couldn't split. In that respect, I see Jacobs as the perfect guy to fight Canelo.

"This is one of the reasons we signed with HBO -- to get this fight. Now we're here. I will push for every dime for my client. At the same time we realize this is a wonderful opportunity and we'll do everything we can to make this fight. This is a major, major, major fight for Danny Jacobs. We know the money involved in the fight. We believe it does big pay-per-view numbers."

De La Hoya said he hoped to also wrap it up quickly.

"The deadline is going to be middle of this month because we have to start promoting and lock down everything," he said. "Our sponsors are ready to go and we want to give the fight fans the best possible fight, and unfortunately GGG didn't budge from his 50-50, so we're moving on."

Good stuff, if the Canelo-Triple G fight indeed doesn't happen, which it's looking that way. Then I do hope this Canelo-Jacobs fight gets made. That's a hell of a 2nd option and great fight to make.

Let's get it done!

Good for Gennady. Fact is GGG was cheated from a victory last time. Canelo is the one to prove something not mentioning that it was Red the one to fail the tests. So 50-50 is fair all things considered. And you believe Canelo has intention to fight Jacob (LOL). Spike... here we come!

Cut it out, Nelo whooped lil g & lil g just might lose his last big pay-day & 50/50? Hell NO lil g is NOT the attraction....LOL....Nelo is the one that makes the people want to watch a fight.

Only time Canelo has even done over 1m PPV's buys is with Mayweather and GGG. Yet they acting like GGG brings nothing to the table when they let Cotto have 55% and the fight did 900k..

[j.razor]

Today GGG deserves a 50%. He's a champion and clean. Eventually they will want a belt from GGG then everything changes. No 50/50 split for Canelo. Karma,

Its NOT how you get paid genius! If lil g brings money in THEN he can get paid.

If this fight happens (of course Im a bit skeptical), it really makes the pending IBF ruling all that more important. If Jacobs gets Canelo and is gone from the IBF rankings, the options for Derev just got a whole lot weaker. It will be interesting to see what the IBF decides to do.

1. Sergiy Derevyanchenko
2. NOT RATED
3. Daniel Jacobs
4. Jermall Charlo
5. Demetrius Andrade
6. Tommy Langford
7. Martin Murray
8. Rafael Bejaran
9. Kamil Szeremeta
10. Luis Arias


And if GGG is forced to choose between conflicting mandos (Charlo or Derev), which one is easier to make? It should be an interesting next couple of days......

Looking forward to the Canelo/Jacobs fight. That one will generate a lot of interest, except among GGG's crowd. I think the winner should fight Saunders next.

Who cares about the GGG crowd did you see the vanes fight? GGG fanbase is cheap and broke anyway. Only a couple thousand paid to see him fight in may in a tiny stubhub that was 1/3 empty. 97K-150K buy his ppvs. They said they were boycotting canelo fights yet canelo/chavez last year sold 1M ppvs. GGG fans are irrelevant, small crowd of delusional fans that don't even buy ppv anyway. Canelo/Jacobs will sell and make a lot of money while GGG can go fight his mandatories for 1M at an empty stubhub.

More lies..... Canelo landed 169 GGG landed 218

Punch count video...

I wonder how much money Canelo will kiss goodbye if he selects Jacobs over Golovkin. 10 million?

canelo gets that money back in 2 or 3 fights, ggg wont get that money for the rest of his career...
in other words canelo is young and can afford to select a different fight, heck he even showed his middle finger to both floyd and cotto before, kid has a huge ego and wont hesitate to show the middle finger to ggg... in fact i think he just did...

De La Hoya claims in Fat Dan's article that they were willing to go 60-40, but K2 wouldn't come off of the 50-50 demand.

If true, Tom Loeffler is a fucking moron.
