    All the while agreeing to get a higher percentage of a much smaller number elsewhere.

    Danny "No Mas" Geale was a sure thing before the bell ;-)
    Dom Wades fantastic win over Soliman made him a great shout at winning.
    Gigantic Welterweight Brook who has a stacked CV and towers an immense 5ft8.5 with 68inch reach and had never fought at 160 was a true challenge
    Gabe Rosado, Stevens and Lemiuex are just world beaters
    Then we have Murray and Willie Monroe, who actually picked them to lose, they should be ashamed of themselves.

    Regardless of the WBA rules, Jacobs deserves more than a few hundred thousand to fight Golovkin. It is laughable that anyone would try and put this on Jacobs if the fight doesn't come off.

    Well pointed out.

    And when Danny lands one of those crushing blows that put Sergio Mora down, it would be nighty nighty for little G!!!!*



    *This statement only stands unless the fight get's signed. If the fight becomes official Golovkin is fighting another worthless bum and should check his twitter feed because that killer Lara is on the hunt.

    There are a couple of key differences between Golovkin and Tyson. Historically, heavyweights get paid several times the going rate for middleweights because they are the apex predators who would win all the fights if there were no weight classes. Then you have to consider that Tyson had all of the belts, and so there was no avoiding him, but Lewis and Bowe still managed to. Lastly, Tyson fought in the 80s and 90s, back before Mayweather made it a stigma to have a loss on your record.

    Be quite hard if they want Showtime to help them out. That is the night it looks like Joshua-Klitschko's gonna happen so their budget might be empty and we see Jacobs get thrown to the HBO piranhas.

    I'd like that. Give the fans what they want and put a major fight on free primetime television.

    No I think Danny Jacobs has to beat Sam Soliman before I will give him a shot, or maybe some of the killers Kell Brook has beaten to.

    Actually Jacobs is a long way off a shot tbf, I don't care if he is a world champion, that doesn't mean **** really

    It's still one or two million and a shot at three belts.

    i think he deserves more, also. he may not have a fan base of his own, but what he brings to the ring would help sell the fight. ggg will have a hard time finding credible opponents to shine against if they dont get paid for the asswhoopin. for what this fight will generate, he should get above a million.

    Well it's not PBC, it would be Jacobs' promoter (DiBella?) to bid and if he wins then the promoter will shop for a network, so actually even if Jacobs wins the bid it could still end up on HBO.

    Hmm perhaps your right.

    The only guy who should be stuck in straight away in a big fight against the divisional king is GGG. He's needs GTFO here with trying to fight Carl Froch at 168 before you take a pop at the king. Danny Jacobs should be permitted another 18 months to fight the Paul Smith's or the Alexander Brands of this world
