    Who is to blame the Jacobs vs Charlo was not made?

    Since most of the topics here deal with playing blame games
    might as well add another one here.

    Let's see who got the most objective unbiased opinion on this.

    Nobody is to blame. Jacobs went to dazn around the time the fight was looking realistic. He wanted Canelo and he got him.

    Had Jacobs stayed at pbc we would have got that fight. Can't blame Danny for chasing the money

        I really don't know so I can only guess. My guess is Jermall did not want to fight Jacobs but Jacobs was willing to fight Jermall. I don't know if any offers to fight were made by either side. I can only go buy the track record of the two boxers. Jermall has never fought any good middleweight and he has been a middleweight for a while now. Jacobs has fought many top middleweights and does not seem to avoid tough fights. Jermall only seems willing to fight the two money guys, Canelo and GGG but not tough guys that don't bring in that much money like Dervy and Andrade. In fact Jermall came right out and said he did not want to fight Andrade even though Andrade said he wanted to fight Jermall.

          I with boliodogs. You gotta look at who they have fought. Charlo has fought weak opposition ever since he stepped up to 160. Its clear as day he's just biding his time to try and get that shot against Canelo and GGG.

            For a world champion Jermall's record at 160 is bad. He somehow was declared champion by beating a couple of mediocre middleweights and he has defended that title against guys who were not even in the boxrec top 20. His next opponent is another pretty easy guy to beat who has never fought at 160 and is not a top 10 guy. Jermall has not fought a legit top 10 middleweight yet. He is a good fighter but he has not proven himself at 160.

                Who else other than the cancer? Just imagine if these guys are UFC fighters and one confronted the other to his face to call his bluff. Dana White would have capitalized on that video and made the fight right away. Not this Haymon character.

                    I blame jacobs. Charlo couldn't keep jacobs name out of his mouth. But once jacobs pulled up on him in the corridor of the Barclays not once did Charlo ever mention jacobs name again.

                    If it wasn't for jacobs pulling up on him maybe the fight would have gotten made?
