I agree with your post. At 160, if anyone has a chance to catch GGG with a big shot and hurt him,its jacobs. Golovkin has shown defensive liabilities and perhaps Jacobs can exploit those.
Looks like they're going to price themselves out of this one too Now they're crying cause Jacobs wants 3 mil Just line up Timothy Bradley already and say everyone's ducking You know the usual
Why not? If they do it in a big enough arena the live gate might make 7 million. Or if they have their costs underwritten by a major casino they could make that much without the television rights. The pay per view money would just be a cherry on top. But it would probably ensure that everyone made 5-10 million.
It's taken God knows how many years to get someone of note from his own division into the ring with Golovkin and about time to,Jacobs has a genuine chance of winning and unlike Canelo who only fights when he's got a massive weight advantage,Jacobs is a bigger middleweight than Golovkin so how on earth can one say he has no chance?with his power he could be the first to KO GGG?
Yep I agree with this,if the Thurman v Porter was free then so should this,if golden boy hadn't tried there best to destroy pay per view events by giving the public awful under cards and complete mismatches that even the most clueless of boxing fans could guess the result then for big fights pay per view would still be viable. The real shame is that the fight of the decade between Kovalev and Ward will probably bomb as the public have been robbed of late.
Hard to argue with as up until this possible Jacobs fight everyone of note in his own division have run a mile,it's high time someone like Jacobs was made Mandatory just like they made Canelo Mandatory,it's up to Loeffler now though to find the cash to pay Jacobs what he deserves?
Who's "everyone" and when did they "run a mile"?. All this mythical junk might be new to you when it comes to the sport, but it's nothing new to me. This "they're running!" nonsense is nothing but a product of hype and marketing/promotion in the sport and is an overly recurring tactic too because the general public are too casual to notice and call it out. Alvarez ignored him because he's not worth the effort. How many PPVs did Golovkin headline and were any successful?. How many legitimate big wins does this guy have?. Fighters that wanted to be considered legitimate superstars ran after the position, they didn't sit in one place and beg for paydays while feasting on absolute bums and crying "no one wants to fight us". There is no such thing as "no one wants to fight us", if you can afford making a serious offer, you WILL be considered. They can't afford jack because they have nothing to offer, they're the ones begging and demanding.
HBO could easily break even on a PPV with GGG - Jacobs. More than likely they'd just treat it as promotion for the upcoming Canelo bout. Heck, they could lose a little money and not care if it helped to hype a Canelo fight. I could see it happening.
