WBA rules in favour of GGG 75/25 purse split with Jacobs

There's something wrong with this guy. BNB made an excellent argument as to how Golovkin will not only surpass Hopkins, but do it in less time as well. Yet Schlong can't see it, cause he's straight out of 1984, balancing two contradictory viewpoints simultaneously. You can't help this dude.

 

Hagler literally had the same problem. Nobody respected him until Hearns moved up to fight him.
Golovkin will suffer the same fate for now.

 

Looks like this fight just went down the drain

 

25% seems about right for Jacobs to be honest.

 

The bigger problem for Golovkin is, there isn't a single active fighter from 147-168 to give him an opportunity for a legacy that Hagler built by beating Hearns and Duran.

 

I try to stay objective. If either fighter vacates it should be seen as a duck.

Jacobs is a glorified #1 contender and he should see this as the oppurtunity to be the man with a shot at a big payday against Canelo. If he vacates he ducks.

GGG is the champ and deserves the higher pay but if he vacates due to Haymon or Showtime winning the purse bid it is a duck.
His team could avoid this scenario by giving Jacobs a higher percentage to secure the fight being on HBO.

I don't want to here excuses from anyone. Whoever vacates is ducking the fight no matter what the excuse.

 

Jacobs will drop the belt and walk away. No way he takes this fight.

 

Bad news for Triple GGGreed

They most likely wanted 100%

 

i agree.....

but for golovkin...hes seen these mw guys be "dodgy"....heres his chance to get a good fight...one of the guys he wants....and all he has to do is be reasonable....maybe 60-40 isnt perfect...but its certainly reasonable.....and it appears that would get the fight signed and delivered to him where he wants it

now he risks haymon putting his back against the wall....or jacobs saying he wont accept any less than 40 ....and yeah, sure, people will call it a duck by jacobs....but people have already accused him of such....he has little to lose really.....people said canelo would lose all his credibility...it doesnt appear so...i think jacobs would still see similar opportunities going forward without fighting golovkin that he would have without golovkin fight being in the picture in the first place(maybe im wrong about this but who knows)

i cant imagine loeffler could be so short sighted(then again ive long thought he was a bit over his head with golovkin and maybe he isnt that bright) to put ggg in a corner...so i cant imagine why he'd fight this if he didnt think the outcome was favorable......but i just dont know here....i dont think jacobs is going to cry missing out on 25 percent of this fight

 

no...its called being pretty....which he is....and he gets alot of broads

 

hopkins at this stage in his career had done none of what you state. he mostly sat inactive, because he was damned near impossible to negotiate with. guess you aren't old enough to remember.

 

oh i am old enough...i remember

as i said...history will not judge when hopkins moved up...or why.....it will just judge that he did.....and golovkin never will...golovkin would get murdered by fonfara at 175....golovkin will never see that division especially anyone good....hell he dodged featherfists ward at 168...lol

stay beating up bums, c level fighters and welterweights...he aint built for this....golovkin can tie hopkins record....beat his record....beat it by several defenses.....it wont matter...hell never be held up to hopkins or held in the same light as an ATG....ever

 

Good news. Jacobs should accept but he will use it as an excuse to duck
