Can you believe this guy. Turns down a career high payday of 1.9 million and the fight in his backyard after claiming he wanted this opportunity. A victory would have made him talk of the fighting world and given him A side/shot caller status. Yet he pulls this attention whoring stunt replete with making unprecedented demands on the sanctioning body that put him on the map. Still Jacobs has an army of bigots and casuals who support his galling demands knowing full well that he never had any intention of facing GGG. Simply taking an opportunity to perpetuate a toxic GGG narrative which speaks more to the scattered virulent nature of your garden variety GGG detractor than the actual Jacobs supporter. Economic altruism is fine for Jacobs but when Povetkin is locked into his 25% mandatory cut for Wilder then all the same voices remain silent. Evidently 25% is good enough for Povetkin but not Jacobs, I wonder why? Back into obscurity for Jacobs. I hope he enjoys fighting Don George for 50K at some barn in Amish country.
Jacobs is a pillock for this. I used to be a big fan of him but he is just number 16 on the 'I ducked GGG' list.
de gale, ramirez, lara arn't ducking ggg, if he can't get fights why not fight one of those guys, or are you in delusional about that to!
The usual voices, the ones that you rightly said stayed silent when Povetkin accepted his 25% cut against both Wlad and then Wilder will now claim that this offer wasn't up to scratch when the truth is Jacobs didn't want that work. Hate GGG all you want guys, Jacobs punked out here. It's a shame as I used to like his story. It was good to see him make his comeback from cancer but now... well he just looks like a chump with a big mouth that he couldn't back up.
Where are all Jacobs' personal financial advisors, counting his monopoly money and press agents trying to up that Q rating? Perhaps Moanamchara will get on this after his colostomy gets emptied, of course.
A lot of the same people claiming that the split offered to Jacobs is offensively low didn't seem to think the same thing Wilder/Povetkin was going to happen under the same deal despite Povetkin bring the majority of the money to the table and being arguably the more proven fighter in the division. It's interesting to note.
I've not seen a single person criticise The Golovkin split whilst defend the Jacobs split. The two situations are completely different. For one Wilder and Povetkin agreed terms whilst Golovkin and Jacobs did not.
Reread my post. I don't think you've understood what I said. I'm also assuming you've written Golovkin where you mean Povetkin. And Ryabinsky won the purse bid so I'm not sure what you're on about in saying they agreed terms. Do you mean he didn't vacate? Because that was his only real say in the matter.
I've not seen anyone criticise the split Jacobs got whilst defending the split Povetkin got. Wilder and Povetkin had a deal for the fight agreed. Golovkin and Jacobs can't reach that point yet.
