    Kinda.

    With a WBO belt, he is in line for the Canelo payday. Jacobs is a high risk fight that doesn’t provide much. He wants to be compensated for the high risk, knowing he could lose this one.

    50/50 fight due to Jacob’s length and size.

    It's not a duck unless Jacob's side make a good, serious offer that is turned down.

    I'd like to see this fight pick em fight with a slight lean towards Saunders.

    What's Saunders' highest payday?
    5 million sounds ridiculous.

    That's how much Ward got against Kovalev.

    BJS ducked GGG with the same sort of approach.

    Jacobs is a high risk fight. He needs to offer big money or make himself mandatory.

    I haven't actually watched the video yet but I'm wondering if this is a reference to Hearn allegedly offering Wilder 5m to fight Whyte?

    And ward was vastly over paid.

    Basically Jacobs wants a belt ,the belt is worth money because it puts you in a position to get a huge fight.

    Bjs shouldn't be asking for 5 million but Jacobs should take a page out of kovalevs book and take the fight for 100k.

    Jacobs isn't going to do that though

    That's a clear case of pricing yourself out of a fight. The total purse for this bout isn't even close to $5m.

    This. $5 million might not be out of the question if BJS was fighting GGG or Canelo in the U.K., but against Jacobs I just don't see it. BJS may just have to wait for the GGG-Canelo 2 winner if he wants over 4 million.

    Or Jacobs could offer to fight him for 100k like kovalev did.
