Comments Thread For: Jacobs vs. Derevyanchenko: IBF Orders Purse Bid For July 5

I won't watch a Hearn promoted fight (as great as this one will be) until he stops shafting Wilder and the Joshua/Wilder fights happens. Sick of Hearn and don't want to do anything too line his greedy pockets.

DiBella I think would be the lead promoter if I'm not mistaken. Derevyanchenko is ranked higher and would get a 70/30 split in his favor. Let's see if Hearn even takes this fight. Jacobs has a deal with HBO too so that is also an issue. Andrade is ranked after him too. Hearn is stuck having to make a deal with DiBella or Warren if he wants the WBO title Saunders has Jacobs is ranked #2 after Andrade.

A fight which will get 1.5m buys is less worthy than this which will likely not hit even 1m views in free tv?

You should become a promoter.

I'll think about it. Trying the acting thing right now. One step at a time. Or in Canelas case one back step at a time.

[vitali1999]

I'd pay to watch this fight.

That's the ticket

So how does the second day weigh in thing play out here since this is for the IBF strap? Will Jacob's be able to come in at 180lbs?

[vitali1999]

Yep they are going to milk this one dry

Derevyanchenko vs Langford coming up......

[Removed Now]

Now here's a Middleweight fight worthy of PPV. Unlike the other one.

What? None of them are worth $60.

Jacobs will go away from this fight, I swear. Who cares about titles when Derevyanchenko "The Boogeyman" stands in the way.

You think it happens when Jacobs would only get 25%? This and Pulev vs Miller seem unlikely to me.

No. He's now a Mando for Saunders as well as his very high rankings in the WBC and WBA. He might have to wait until late 2019 to get a Canelo/GGG fight as Charlo and Murata are ranked 1 higher than him in those.

I dont think the fight happens IMO.

[Shadoww702]

Jacobs has to decide title or $$$$.
