Comments Thread For: Jacobs-Derevyanchenko IBF Purse Bid Postponed Until July 10

[factsarenice]

I love this crazy guy. You're missing all the facts but who cares, you stick with it.

g chose to vacate so he could fight Vanes. When g asked for permission for an optional, the IBF told him, if he fights an optional on May 5th instead of the unknown bum, he would have to fight the unknown bum by August 3rd.

g said he agreed to this, knowing that he would either fight Derevyanchenko by August 3rd or vacate his belt. He chose to vacate to fight a retired guy from a lower division. The IBF gave him the option, and g said he would fight Derevyanchenko within the allotted time. Then he decided he didn't want to and so he vacated. If g would have just vacated from the beginning instead of lying and saying he was going to fight his mandatory, this fight would already be scheduled.

If anyone is mad about how long it has taken, then g is the only party to blame.
It is his fault. He is the one who vacated to avoid the dreaded Russian taxi cab driver.

Vanes was the biggest PPV? So much for Canelo!

GGG got them both so whats your point?

Vanes did in fact do a bigger PPV than Canelo in 2018 but you can always blame steroids.

Yes, g didn't vacate to fight Canelo. He vacated to fight Vanes.

That is just a simple fact. g asked for an exemption to fight Vanes instead of his mandatory. G was told he could fight Vanes, but he had to fight Derevyanchenko by Aug. 3rd. g chose to vacate and fight Vanes. It has absolutely nothing to do with Canelo. He was ordered to fight Derevyanchenko, but g vacated.

Literally. g vacated to avoid a bum with 12 pro fights. This would be like Spence vacating instead of fighting Ocampo.

g and his lil butt-lickers are the only ones crying. I know it is so unfair to expect a champ to be fight a guy who had once thought about fighting a top 30 opponent. Yes, of course g did the right thing. He let two fighters that have testicles fight for the belt.

g has a resume full of Rubio, geale, Monroe, wade, Brook, and Tureano and to top it off, he vacates to avoid someone with a dozen pro fights. And is crying about it.

25 million dollars.....nuff said.

IBF specifically told that it won't count Vanes fight as defence of IBF belt. But they will let it go as long as fight against Derev happens in less than 3 months.

It's not complicated, unknown Derev with no build up for 1 or skip him for 25 million. Mathematics.

the IBF must be mad as *** for missing out on the GGG vs clenelo 2 sanctioning fees LMAO!

I thought the same. Someone said sanctioning bodies only want the best to fight the best but we all know that's BS.

This fight represents a huge risk with little reward for Jacobs. He's already in a prime position to face the winner or canelo-GGG, plus, This dude is not known to the public, so Jacob will be expected to win fashionably, but the truth is this is a 50/50 fight. It's a no-win situation for Jacobs; if he wins, he was supposed to win. If he loses, he lost to unknown dude with like 13 fights. If he does decide to take the fight, big respect to him.

Very honest take on the matter. I would rather see Jacobs fight BJS and Derev fight Charlo or Demetrius. Obviously that's never going to happen because of promo/manager and networks. Instead, we may see two of the best hurt one another and Charlo pick up the pieces.

Jacob's looking for a real fight like Arias rematch or Sulsucky rematch. The guy is a joke of LHW with his slapping punches fighting at middle weight. For sure he won't take a fight if the IBF mandates a 2nd day weigh in.

Exactly. The guy keeps saying he was stripped for fighting Vanes. He wasn't. He was stripped for making it clear that he was trying to make another fight instead of the mandatory fight.
