    These GGGoons are shameless with their inconsistencies. That's another one right there.

    Don't ever give him business advise. He would be walking away from his biggest payday ever, and a shot at stardom.

    You think they'd give Spike 2m? Are you on Angel Dust? He's lucky if he sees a mill from Oscar and co should that mismatch occur.

    Canelo has Gary O'Sullivan waiting. That would be a nice little comeback fight for Canelo. Fighting the #4 middleweight according to the WBO, and #6 according to the WBC is not bad when all things are considered.

    In the end, if this fight happens, I think Jacobs is going to look bad and Canelo will definitely outpoint him and maybe even stop him. GBP smells blood in the water, and they are right. Jacobs is not right. Something is amiss and we will see it if this fight happens.

    Very possible. Kirkland-Canelo was FREE on HBO and Kirkland got 1.3 million.

    Good point. I never really found my Angel Dust use affected my judgement until now. You've given me a lot to think about.

    40% of 170k ppv buys is less than 20% of 500k+ ppv buys?

    Jacobs will be getting a career high pay day, millions of $$$. With the potential for a boost in popularity if he wins and maybe a higher split in the rematch


    Spike will gladly take that, ffs Spike will probably take 10%

    Yeah Jacobs would get significantly more than vs GGG even with 20%. He has the status to get at least 25% though with the way things are, that's why Hearn is going to try to get the offer improved. It's similar to Canelo refusing 55% vs Golovkin even though it's more money and more significant than 80% vs Jacobs, that's how the business works and I don't blame fighters for trying to maximize their purse as long as their demands are broadly within reason and the fight does end up getting made.

    Spike will probably be getting about 10% indeed.

    One things for sure no way will Oscar allow Jacobs to come in @ LW as he was against GGG..., Canelo may well do but Jacobs....no chance !

    Oscar doesn't rip off his fighters, he actually doesn't make very much in contrast to other promoters or advisors.

    How do you figure? Did Oscar insinuate something? Does Oscar have a history of putting rehydration clauses? I thought YOU said Canelo was a LtHW?
