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

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.

BTW On Oct. 2 Jacobs tweeted: back in gym ready for whoever's next. Danny probly meant he was "almost ready"
30 days in October
30 days in November
17 days in December

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.

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?Last edited by DonutHunter; 10-19-2016, 11:26 AM.
