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

[icha]

How in play can this fight be if hearn hasn’t been blabbing about it. He does love the sound of his own voice.

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..

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."

unless you think Canelo-Jacobs would do over 1.5 million buys, or unless you think Golden Boy is going to give Jacobs 50-50 split, Im not sure how you see a scenario where Jacobs makes $20,000,000


Besides, even if Oscar truly wants to make the fight, you know there is a 75% chance that Connely screws it up

There is NO scenario where Jacobs makes 15-20m more like 7-8m which isn't bad for Jacobs...

[Shadoww702]

No way Jacobs earns $15million-$20million for fighting Canelo!

Yeah more like around 10,000,000. Depends how good it does and how good they promote it?

[j.razor]

Exactly.


Jacobs is gonna Mayweather the **** out of cancello

Nope. It would be a good & close fight.

Instead of writing essays how about you save yourself sometime and actually pay attention when you read. I said OVER 1m BUYS!!!

CANELO HAS NOT DONE OVER 1 MILLION PPV BUYS WITHOUT MAYWEATHER OR GGG. FACTS.

Im looking right now at Chavez jr. and Canelo its says they did 1,000,000 buys. And Cotto/Canelo was only off by 62,000?

FACTS

The best thing about this blog, is that everyone think their opinion is more right then someone else (including me). So, let’s recap. Canelo wants the best fights and to give the fans what they want, Spike. Keep it real bra.

I aint mad at spike....its a year lay off & spike whoops vanes.

[OnePunch]

I would think Sergiy would be easier? I mean he was willing to step in last minute for Vanes $$.

But Charlo would be a better sale to the public? Especially if Jacobs/Canelo fight.

Tough decisions?? I could also see them trying to fight someone easier in hopes of Jacobs/Canelo not doing good numbers (If belts allow it of course) Interesting times?? You would think Loeffler is a lil pissed at GGG as well??

its not Derev its Dibella that would make that negotiation tough.....

GGG hasn't done over 160K buys without Canelo. Canelo is the only fighter not named Floyd or Manny to sell 1M PPV buys in the last decade. And depending on which source you credit Canelo/Chavez either sold 1M or over 1M but regardless it sold a lot without Floyd or GGG. Your clown azz trying to pretend GGG is Cotto when he isnt. Cotto sold millions and millions of PPV without Canelo. GGG hasn't sold 300K total without Canelo he has no leverage to demand shyt. Cotto was making more money and a bigger draw then GGG is today. You keep pretending that GGG is on a equal footing as Canelo which he ain't and he isn't on a equal footing as Cotto was when he fought Canelo either. Face it the bytch priced himself out the fight.

lol, some are still in denial..

I'm not if you thought I was.. I'd the fight happens then it's good for the sport. But let's face the facts that the news is a back up offer for Danny(I hadn't seen Eddie's response about an offer this morning)
I also pointed out that spike's manager had been confirming for a Sep fight..
I'm not going to believe a cokehead Oscar until it's official..
Don't have me confused with a G nuthugger but I am also not consumed with filth hate for that guy too like some lunatics here..
