    GGG only draws so much, only comes with so much earnings. Jacobs wants more than $2 million but where does it come from? A live gate would do 2-3 million. Ppv of 300k? Maybe that's possible

    So what is the difference in GGG not fighting a good fighter under the excuse of not enough money and others saying that about Golovkin?

    difference is jacobs is mando for GGGs belt and any sane fighter who wants to win a world title would enforce it

    Well shouldn't GGG fans already consider Jacobs a Champ, I mean don't we hear about GGGs supposed defense record when 80℅ were in defense of the same title you call fake for Jacobs.
    Also didn't GGG side step his mando shot 3 times for almost 2yrs for the exact same reason.

    Now I'm not hating just pointing out the ridiculousness you guys come up with.

    Money is just an excuse.
    Who the hell do they think they are?
    BJS wants 4 mil $, how much does Jacobs want?

    Just because GGG is dangerous doesn't mean your value goes up when you fight him.

    These fighters are clowns.

    The only way to generate the money that Jacobs wants is to put it on ppv. Who knows, maybe HBO will take a shot again.

    Every fighter now thinks they're Floyd Mayweather and deserve millions of dollars and to be on PPV. But you gotta earn that.

    Thing is Al's calmed down a bit but he was massively overpaying in order to get people to sign and it has skewed things.
    Thurman got more for the Guerrero fight than he did last night. Lara reportedly got more for Zaveck than he did vs Canelo!
