Comments Thread For: Jacobs Wants More Than Golden Boy Has Offered for Canelo Fight

[Motorcity Cobra]

He doesn't deserve really anything more than what they are willing to pay honestly. They are doing him a favor not the other way around. However I would never tell a man to settle for less.

I agree. It ain't like he's in a position to really negotiate. I think he would beat Canelo. He should be jumping at this opportunity.

Who like me have zero time for canelo and goldenboy now ? they can f@ck off

Me too

First the 155lb gingerweight scampionship (and ring middleweight belt haha thx to Oscar who owns the mag)
Then these very disrespectful purse divides, Canelo will always earn big as a ginger Mexican regardless , but throw legit quality champions a bone and respect their title a little more to make the fights

He still gets rich, there's no need to be so selfish and induce so much negativity into the sport, make a bit fairer offer and everyone gets rich with no nasty **** and we just enjoy the fight

Danny negotiated 40% of the purse for the Golovkin fight.

Business wise you are correct. Canelo is giving him a couple millions. He will be treated it's in a purse bid Aside 75% and so on.... Danny can't call shots here even though he hears the offer to Ggg. SD isn't an easy fight and Danny can lose for less. Idk.

I really like DJ, but he has zero draw appeal. His last 2 fights have been uneventful and against equally unknown/lesser known guys.

Gennady has some recognition since getting the gift draw last summer against Ca$hnelo.

With all due respect to DJ...the fight itself isnt the reason to take it. If you punish/pummel the "A" side Ca$helo than you elevate yourself a few levels or become the "A" side. That's why you take these fights. It's not about the payday of the fight. It's about the potential reward afterward.

Gennady pricing himself out makes sense for 2 reasons. First he doesn't want the rematch. Call it spite, fear, anger, frustration - whatever it is - he doesn't want it. Secondly this is one of his last big fights and hes looking to cash out. It makes sense to try and squeeze as much as he can get

It makes zero sense for DJ - only 31 - to price himself out. Hes got years ahead and could easily make something of himself with the charisma of new promoter Hearn...especially if he beats Ca$hnelo like he did Quillin.

Bad move by DJ and camp

You take the short money ala Floyd vs Oscar ($25mil) ain't short money lol Canelo vs Floyd, Cotto vs Canelo Trinidad vs Hopkins, hell Bhop bet 100k on himself. If you know you gonna win like Wilder and those HoF you sign and fight.

Good enough! GGG will be gifted! War Alvarez our Mexican meat lover boy smoke GGG but don't gas out!

[AllEyesOpen]

Really? I don't believe it!

[BO$$NELO]

He agreed to the rematch before your boy tested positive for PEDS

Gennady wanted out. Dude started crying about man muscles...???

[What up]

[Iron Fister]

I can't even remember the name of the guy Danny fought before Sulecki. He should've taken whatever Ms GBP offered lol
