Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Reacts To Jacobs Needing More Time To Prepare

[AKAcronym]

Kell Brook was in a win win situation. Big money to fight against a guy he is supposed to lose to. No real heroism there. Question is, why is it that Trip isn't an attraction in the US. A lot of foot traffic on threads, but he doesn't generate much revenue for HBO to draw fighters in. Low reward for any JMW or MW.

We'll see if that eye holds up in fights from now on. Not going to be a win win if his eye gets ****ed up every time.

The truth eventually surfaces... Jacobs needs more time to shop around for funeral pre arrangement.

G is a top ten money-generating active fighter in world boxing, maybe even top 5. Who is higher?

Klitschko?
Joshua
Canelo
Pacquiao

... and now I'm struggling for more names.

So what is the issue here? The issue is that boxing has become a niche sport and apart from super fights the money is not there. But you can't get to a super fight without having great fights and you can't get to great fights without having very good fights and on and on.

Lots of boxers want to get the earnings that come with very good or super fights, but they are unwilling to make the good and very good level fights in order to generate interest in super fights down the road.

Golovkin IS an attraction in the US - how not so if he sells out the Forum and MSG? It's not his fault if the money is not there yet for super fight payouts and both K2 and Jacobs need to realize that. This is a good/very good level fight. The winner most likely gets to make a great fight with Canelo - well G most likely already has that within his reach whereas Jacobs doesn't as yet but beating Golovkin would launch him into that hot-seat.

"....it's not a fat farm." lol
BTW On Oct. 2 Jacobs tweeted: back in gym ready for whoever's next. Danny probly meant he was "almost ready"

October 2nd to December 18th
30 days in October
30 days in November
17 days in December
77 days total

I make that 11 weeks - perfect!

They both agreed it short notice. GGG can still fight on this date so he doesn't lose it like his fans say he did with Brook.

Someone should be in charge of keeping this team on the same page

Yeah - low reward if Uncle Al is paying you $1.5M to fight Quillen. Lets see how many more $1.5M payouts are still in Al's budget. I'm hoping none.

Boxers were historically underpaid and that was terrible for them but great for fans. Now the pendulum has swung to the other extreme meaning great for boxers and lousy for fans.

If the fight happens, cool. If not, Jacobs got the W because he was able to string them along and finesse them into longer inactivity

Kill yourself

How the fcuk would you know, ******? This is what the challenger was saying 6 weeks ago:

‘Wait a second. I could fight two Peter Quillins and make the same thing'

And his trainer just said no chance it happens Dec 10, he needs 10-12 weeks to prep for this mando challenge. Can you work this out?

You seem like a miserable and sad man, why don't you go out and get your little snake wet?

Hey dude what Anime is that, the one on your profile pick and Gif? I've been trying to find that show for a bit.....

Wait you're supporting this ****? Not a big boxing fan I guess.

Spoken like a true fan. Do you actually like to watch two men box or are you just contented to follow people bickering about money? NECKS!

Are you even a boxing fan? What about Jacob's inactivity? If the fight doesn't happen at all that is a loss for everyone.

So somehow you were able to find support for inactivity and the fight not happening in those 2 sentences? This forum truly is the best

Straight from the Canelo playbook.

I guess one person got it
