    The thing with a purse bid is that HBO/K2 have to win. If they lose they are in a big hole as Golovkin isn't supposed to fight on Showtime. But losing a hard-earned belt is also unthinkably bad for Golovkin, who has spent a lot of his career chasing them belts.

    So honestly 25% of the winning bid is probably equal to 40% of whatever deal was being offered before.

    This is Jacobs moment of truth. I.E. his Mayweather moment. He either believes in himself and his skills or the doesn't. He needs to put that belt in the garbage and go after Saunders

    I do actually believe Saunders will fight GGG. He knows he hasn't got many options to get paid because they just can't work with Eubank and Frank Warren struggles to get big fights unfortunately.

    Maybe that's possible for Dec 10th. Although perhaps getting IBF mandatory (Tureno Johnson) out of the way less than 9 months before the Canelo fight and the next one is called (given the IBF rehydration clause and how Canelo enters the ring bigger than Anthony Joshua), wouldn't be the worst idea either if the Jacobs fight goes tits up.

    Maybe not. But unlike Hopkins who bravely fought at Middleweight for a full 18 years before moving up. Golovkin has cowardly fought their for 10. SMDH

    Haymon would have to bluff $10M or more to try to block this. If he bids too much, why wouldn't HBO grant their poster boy a one-off? He would undoubtedly get a bigger audience going forward, HBO will make it up in the long term

    Remember though this is taking place on Dec 10th. What else is taking place on Dec 10th? Joshua v Klitschko probably. That's a Showtime fight. Will Showtime be putting any money up to see Jacobs get sparked?

    History won't remember why or when Hopkins moved up...it will remember he did and took on the best at 168 and 175

    Pull up a chair. We need to talk Hopkins Super Middleweight resume.

    And how Golovkin still has a good 8 years at Middleweight before he stopped there as long as Hopkins.

    Bad News Brit is beating you like a drum.

    Damn, Schlongmaster, maybe you'd better head back to the bogs and give some guys more head. Those dimes add up quickly!

    I hear that McD's is having a 2-for-1 special on used salad in an hour. If you hurry you can make it :D
