I like Jacobs but saying he has wins over 4 former world titlist is almost a big a joke as calling Broner a 4 division champion.
So basically we can be pretty damn sure that if Jacobs hasn't signed within a week, the fight won't happen. There's no way that we get a 7M+ purse bids which would give Jacobs at least some edge over the 1.5M that they offered already. Haymon doesn't do PPV, which would be needed to hopefully break even or make a little profit with such a purse. And it seems like he's done throwing money away. K2 definitely doesn't bid that kinda money, because they're not crazy. One week and we know
Yeah totally,K2 are very trusting or stupid,it should of been obvious that Jacobs was holding off on purpose all this time,word is they wanted 60/40 and by the sounds of it wouldn't accept anything less,boxing has become a joke for antics like this
Could equally copromote, wherein Haymon pays his During the period of purse bids, if an agreement can be reached, the contract can proceed without bids.
Well, I think they wanted to make the WBA to order a purse bid much earlier which likely would have caused Jacobs to back out in enough time for Golovkin to keep the Dec date against a different opponent. Instead they just extended the negotiation period.
Mendoza has been itching for either Jacobs or Lara to step in with GGG and has been since before Canelo v Khan went down. He's not letting Al Haymon off the hook, but he could possibly allow a similar last minute deal to be reached between Haymon and K2 as was the deal between K2 and matchroom, allowing Lara to fight in Jacobs stead. Either of which would make K2, and Gennady Golovkin VERY happy.
Damn straight! These f*ckin newbie fans...they talk tough about how they think belts don't matter...talk about paper champs and such. But have no qualms using their "belts" as some form of justification of worth on a fighter they like. The consistency from most posters on this forum is sh*t.
Rushing in carelessly trying to finish him after knocking him down and getting caught You realize he did get up off the canvas and finish Mora right?
you have to realize these type of guys like Kevin Willis(and by these type of guys i mean golovin superfan/white supremacists) dont give credit for that kind of stuff.....for months, years even, when it was insisted that lara would make a great opponent(or at least better than any hes had ...even now) for golovkin they pointed to lara getting knocked down by angulo...completely ignoring lara getting up and finishing angulo off
cool......when it had been suggested that lara would make a good opponent for golovkin his fanboys yelled "omg he knocks lara out in 2 rounds easy....he got dropped by angulo" over and over 2000x....because they are nothing but fanboys that defend his every move/duck.....glad some of you are still in reality
